Green Lantern: First Flight is such an oddity. It’s like giving the DC Universe over to a 13 year old and telling them to make it edgy. But, Chris Meloni is voicing Hal Jordan. When does that ever get to happen? Meloni is a television man pimp and brings more realism to the role than a Nathan Fillion or Ryan Reynolds. Still, the movie is a ham-fisted cross-cutting of 45 years of comic history. But, Bruce Timm adds on 2 really awesome JLU cartoons.

DOLLHOUSE: SEASON ONE

Special Features

• Commentaries
• Featurettes

Dollhouse – Season One is quite the achievement for a Whedon show on FOX. It’s actually coming back to have a second season. Hell, you actively see FOX and company trying to promote the show’s return on this disc. That’s quite a step-up from the Friday fuck you it gave to Firefly. I’m not saying that Dollhouse is going to fare better in its second year, it’s just nice to see a rather difficult show being given a chance. Hell, I had to listen to the commentaries on all of the episodes and Epitaph 1, so that I could understand the dynamic behind the show’s main plot point. Maybe, it’s because I’m not a fast learner.

OBSESSIVE DVD NERDS, I BESEECH YOU!

The
Chewer Nation likes to make long-winded lists that can turn even the
strongest mind into an Autistic pile of mush. Therefore, I beseech you
to make a list for the month of July! I want to see the worst DVDs ever
made. List them, provide reasons and do what you will. I know that I
can harness your collective mental spark plugs to inspire some modicum
of film discussion.

I’ll start.

1) Colossus: The Forbin Project
2) The Enforcer – Dragon Dynasty  (via Reggie-Wanker)
3) Superman II – The Richard Donner Cut  (via Hammerhead)
4) Wiseguy Season 3 – Part I   (via Phil)
5) Barton Fink  (via Captain Mal)

The pissed-off-iest I’ve ever been over a DVD was when I sat my brother down to watch Barton Fink, and the fancy-schmancy menu screen spoiled a significant character reveal from the film’s climax.
