THE SPECIAL WARNER 2006 EDITION

Before I get a flurry of e-mails from 3 friends and my Mother, I’d just like to point out that sadly, I was not present during Warner Brother’s unleashing of its 2006 DVD titles. Hopefully things like this will change over the course of the coming months, because, let’s face it – I am stupendous … Continue reading

Besides tailoring your viewing habits towards that of whatever Burtonesque tale of woe splatters across the land, this week is also noticeable for the DVD H-bomb of Bubble.

CONTEST: WIN SNL DVDS!

Now is the time where I trot out the oft-used “hey, remember when SNL used to be funny?” line, but hey, uh, remember when? Most likely it was years prior and we’re here to make sure you relive the glory days past with our contest for The Best of David Spade and The Best of … Continue reading

CONTEST: ALL SOULS DAY DVD

Nothing says ENTER HERE better than a dusty truckload of Zombies. In fact they’re popping up all over the place in the recent DVD of All Souls Day (but if you want instant gratification, purchase it through CHUD here). Since we all know that the origins of Commemoratio omnium fidelium defunctorum (roughly translated as dead … Continue reading

THE SPECIAL EDITION – 1.24.06

I was thinking the other day, something I rarely do, about Harrison Ford’s downward trajectory into the abyss. It seemed like just last week he was befriending little Amish children, killing Terrorists with the flick of his wrist, and seducing Julia Ormand in a piss-poor Wilder remake. Above all, he was a man for his … Continue reading

THE SPECIAL EDITION – 1.17.06

There’s really not much I can say this week. The courage I’ve mustered up in weeks past is all dried up and sitting all gooey-like next to my dignity. So in order to vomit all of this DVD craziness onto your platter, we might as well get down to it. They Broke And You So … Continue reading

THE SPECIAL EDITION – 1.9.06

One of the wonderful aspects about being dreadfully sick is that your body tries to reject the little things – like your soul. At least mine is. So in order for me to make it out of this thing alive with Jim Morrison, the SE is going to be pared down this week. Once I … Continue reading

THE SPECIAL EDITION – 1.03.06

Believe it or not, I’ve been banging out your weekly DVD needs for a goddamned year now. I suppose that’s cause for some sort of celebration. What does the future hold? More of the same, really – deals, blurbs, and enough non sequiturs to keep your plate full for another year. First, though, a big … Continue reading

THE SPECIAL EDITION – 12.26.05

No rest for the wicked, as they say. And while I’ve been busy ducking and weaving Santa’s immortal lump of coal, here’s your last weekly barrage of titles for Anno Domini 2005. Next week I’ll return with an anniversary of sorts (not that you cared) and, hopefully, a rejuvenated spirit of hate mail! Thanks for … Continue reading
