DVD

Eddard! I haven't seen you in ages! Which, for anti-spoiler reasons, I won't say why...

GAME. OF. THRONES.

Now then, what else is coming out this week?

	1. Immortals I had a goofy good time with this movie, although I suspect that the experience won't quite be the same on the small screen. The canvas of a movie screen is where this seems to belong. I'd be happy to be wrong, though.
	2. Jack & Jill Adam Sandler: not even once.
	3. Footloose There have been a few movies in my time at Screened that I have been legitimately surprised that I've enjoyed, and the remake of Footloose was one of them. Despite being essentially a beat-for-beat remake of the first film, it still had a decent amount of energy and some great dance scenes.
	4. Like Crazy I heard relatively good things about this young-couple-forced-apart-by-distance drama, but then, the trailer made it look pretty much insufferable. That's probably because I loathe all happiness that other people possess.
	5. Senna I'm not sure what's new about this Blu-Ray release of the film that's been on Netflix Streaming forever. I do know that I sincerely hope that this adds punctuation to the subtitles. I have not been able to finish the film because none of the sentences people are speaking have periods. I'm serious.
	6. The Skin I Live In I've read plot spoilers for this latest Pedro Almodovar movie, and I'm not sure if I can even tell you how bizarre it is. Looking forward to checking it out myself.
	7. Columbus Circle Selma Blair "stars" in this high-rise thriller from the writer of Midnight Run. I'm not sure Selma Blair can even be said to be an actress anymore, though; she's a pretty great moper, though.
	8. Game of Thrones Game Of Thrones: Season One, Happily Divorced: Season One, Hawthorne: The Complete Final Season, MI-5: Volume 10, Transformers Prime: Season One
	9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail Older films: Monty Python and the Holy Grail, To Catch A Thief, The Town: Ultimate Collector's Edition

Immortals looked like a fun film, definitely going to have to check that out, really looking forward to a Game of Thrones marathon too.

Senna is brilliant but Immortals was the biggest pile of trash I have seen in a long time. I watch a lot of bad movies and none recently have made me as angry for wasting my time as that borefest.

Really Rorie? The lack of punctuation in Senna's subtitles bother you? That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard considering how great the movie is.

I would like to own Game of Thrones at some point since it's a series I could probably watch a few times over and still find it entertaining, but It's far too expensive at it's current price and I'm sure in a few seasons time they'll bring out a collection of a few of them for a signifficantly lower price like they always tend to do with boxsets.

Any interesting special features on the Game of Thrones Blu-Ray?

The Blu-ray set is $35 on Amazon right now. I don't think that's very expensive at all for 561 minutes plus extras.

@Eidderf: They're only $35 for the BluRay, and $30 for the DVD at Amazon.

EDIT: Beaten.

The Skin I Live In is well-done. Antonio Banderas gives a pretty eerie, clinical performance.

@DigTheDoug: I currently do not have a job, so I don't really have the money to spend on something I have already seen at full price, I am also from the UK so those prices don't mean much to me. Thanks anyway.

My Spanish professor talks about Almodovar and that film and how crazy it is just about every class. I guess I should check it out.

My Game of Thrones Best Buy alternate cover set should be delivered tomorrow, I'm pumped for that, even though I've watch the first season twice already. Probably pick up Immortals when it goes to about $15.

Ahh, that sucks, since those prices are crazy cheap over here, especially for a Blu Ray release.

Read all the pamphlets and watch the thrones! Wait, that's not right.

I'll rent Like Crazy & Immortals, Jack & Jill is heinous but might have to be seen to believed, if you're interested in that. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in dance films unless there is Stepping Up, perhaps 2 the Streets, or perhaps in 3D.

OK, £32 for the Blu-Ray from amazon.co.uk. But it seems that even if they were only £5 you wouldn't want to buy them. So you could instead say "I'd like to get Game of Thrones but I don't have any money to spend on it at the moment as I am out of work" instead of using the "Full price" excuse on something that has a regular price of $80 or approximately £51.

I was hoping for some deleted scenes from Game of Thrones. Alas, there are none. So now I shall wait patiently for season 2 to begin.

Went to the local Best Buy and I grabbed the last Blu-Ray copy of Game of Thrones they had there! They went quick and it was $35 too!

Immortals was the K-Mart version of 300, everything about that movie was terrible.

@VinceNotVance: I get all confused when you mix up the dates!

Game of Thrones is £26 here in the UK. For comparisons sake, when it came out 3 months ago, Season 1 of Boardwalk Empire was £50. Hells yeah, I'm picking this up!
