Best movies according to redditors

Waste of time when you have this. Don't think I wouldn't spot that extended gold box set of LORD OF THE RINGS MOTHERFUCKER! PUT IT ON NOW!

Edit: This thread right now. Photoshop Paint skills....off the charts!

Edit2: In case anyone is interested in this extremely complete and amazing set of the LOTR movies, you can purchase it here. I watch it all at least once a year, and even most of the special features as I find it one of the best special features of any film to watch. So amazing how they made these.

Edit4: Many (including myself) have purchased this set in previous years for $50 usually around thanksgiving/christmas so you might want to wait to purchase then. Also, some are skeptical of my Amazon link and to them I say, buy from wherever you want MOTHER FUCKERS! I buy almost anything I can through Amazon Prime because it's just a phenomenal deal, especially if you have the student rate. Oh Amazon, I love you so much....I certainly don't work for you but I would totally if you asked wink wink

This is pretty much how Republicans operate. They live in a world where they are sure Democrats are cheating which justifies their own dishonesty and they try to prove that Democrats are bad by doing the bad things they assume Democrats are getting away with.

They are brainwashed. This is a trailer for a fantastic movie I just watched on Amazon Prime called The Brainwashing of My Dad. I have heard that it is also available on Hulu. It really explains how we got here and what we are dealing with.

Literally just bought this, and was about to post it here too. Link

You might be interested in the documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad which is free to stream if you have Amazon Prime. I thought it was one of the best documentaries I've seen the past year.

If any of you are lacking in quality, the Blu Ray extended box set is down to $26 on Amazon for a deal of the day today!

Amazon has a documentary about that

It's a set of 6 movies (Avengers, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man I, Iron Man II and The Incredible Hulk) It also contains a whole bunch of other goodies.

Here's the amazon link to check it out.

Propaganda. Fox News is the best thing to ever happen to the Republican party.

edit:

There's a good documentary about this phenomenon called The Brainwashing of my Dad. It's about a guy who used to have rational political debates with his dad, even though his dad is a conservative and the son is liberal. When his dad started watching Fox News everyday that all changed. His father became irate, unreasonable, unwilling to listen to criticism or differing opinions. The documentary follows the process of deprogramming him.

It's a real and serious problem.

They think like this because it is how they've been programmed over the course of decades to think. I watched that earlier today and it's incredibly informative with regards to what has happened to the Republicans party and their supporters. It's actually really scary.

Obligatory you must watch/read these regarding Fox if you haven't post:

You also have to wait till release dates. The Avengers is out September 25th on Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/etc

Except it leaked to the internet yesterday. Mobile device? standard low res available. Better mobile/low res PC? 720p.

Want to go all out? Complete 1080p copy, bit for bit (no recompression) dump of the Blu-ray disc, plus the extras disc as well

The Avengers (2012) Blu-ray 1080p AVC DD5 1 PLUS Bonus Disk 61.2 GB

Want it in Blu-ray 3D? They've got that full dump as well.

The Avengers 2012 1080p Blu-ray 3D AVC DTS-HD MA 7 1-HDCL 41 GB

First is larger because it includes the extras disc dump.



Not worried about admitting I grabbed a 720p copy last night. I've preordered this (anyone want to buy my Iron Man 2 and Captain America Blu-Rays since they'll now be redundant? :D jk, giving them to friends):

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled (10-Disc Limited Edition Six-Movie Collector's Set) [Blu-ray] (2012)

http://i.imgur.com/sRaMG.jpg

If Hollywood has a problem, they'd best stop getting their supply leaked, or artificially making people wait while they've loaded up warehouses a month in advance. I still pay good money to see movies I like, and buy them on disc or digital. I saw it in the theater, I pre-ordered the super set, I drove over an hour recently to see The Dark Knight Rises in true IMAX (i.e. 80+ foot screen) full 70mm 15 perf film presentation. Ticket was more, but way better than standard digital showing and way better than that fake IMAX crap. (Only do this for stuff shot in actual IMAX and not in stupid 3D)

But the 720p pirated copy has value to me that they don't provide despite getting the $140 set. I can play this on my phone super easy without converting my Blu-Rays or using some stupid DRM-based service.

Oh, and unlike all the other Blu-ray versions of The Avengers (and options on most of the other movies, like my Captain America and Iron Man 2 Blu-ray copies), the full set has no DVD copies as well. Nor does it have any digital copies, or soundtracks downloads that are some of the individual releases. So if I wanted to use their DRM service, I'd have to buy the other copies in addition to the $140 set. Thanks, no, I think I've paid enough. I'll just have to pirate for my mobile devices, sorry you didn't think of this Paramount.

>basic excercise will help

Screw basic exercise. You'll find thousands of people who wish they could go back into their teens and start lifting.

You're going to be a hormone factory for the next 6 to 8 years. Watch some Rippetoe videos and begin "Starting Strength".

Sign up for a "Strength Training" course in your high-school and let your building muscles do the fat-loss work for you. Skip cardio when it's not forced on you.

Good luck. See you in a few years when you're showing off.

The limited edition of the DVD's came with two disc's. One disc was the updated version with all the extra crap and the other disc was just the original cleaned up without the extra crap

I wouldn't hold my breath for a bluray version though, this is best we can expect to get :(

A challenger appears!

That article reminds me exactly of this movie I watched on Amazon Prime: The Brainwashing of My Dad.

It also hits way too close to home. I'm a gay 26 year old dude. My parents found out I was gay my sophomore year of HS, then we swept it under the rug, then I came out officially freshman year of college. We swept that under the rug too. They aren't homophobic at all, they just live a pretty sheltered life. I know if I had a boyfriend to bring home, it'd totally cool, but I don't know how to make the rest of it normal. I'm a super open dude in general, but it's strange; I have a super close relationship with my parents...while there's kind of a huge part of me I put on mute.

I say all of this to bring up what you mentioned. I'm from New Jersey, and my family is from Philly, so most people aren't the typical right wing crazy you'd expect in the south. Politics were never talked about in my household, but for the past few years, I've seen a strange anger rise in my father. His ONLY source of information is Fox News. He doesn't read any magazines, newspapers, online articles, or anything of that sort - just Fox on tv and the app on his phone. He's always been the nicest guy, so seeing this new rage is something that came as a surprise.

He has never said anything about the LGBT community, but there's some kind of implicit wrong I feel about his recent set of views. He didn't vote for Trump, but he seems to defend him and his administration in random spurts whenever I'm around (I imagine he does this when I'm not around too). I knew the type of people that Trump was putting in his orbit, and some of the harm that would come to the LGBT community throughout the next few years (let alone everything else). I doubt he even knows about this, but even if he did, who knows what his response would be. I'm not really sure how Fox News became a safe haven for my father and how that transformed his worldview, but it's most definitely had a huge influence.

It pains me that I'd like to be able to point out the issues I have with everything, but my family is not one to delve into feelings, so I pass on it and don't say anything.

TLDR; gay dude, father who was never into politics but is now obsessed with Fox News, don't even know how to start any types of discussion

Relevant for any Prime member.

The Brainwashing of My Dad

I think it is as simple as where he consumed his news. It was non-stop hatred and misinformation regarding Obama's administration. He did not just say one day that "I think Obama doesn't have a valid US Birth Certificate". No he was told this by someone / somewhere and he ate it up.

EDIT: I've been told that this film addresses what I am talking about "The Brainwashing of my Dad". Full Disclosure: I have not seen it yet but I intend to because I have relatives that are like this so much that it has affected and/or destroyed our relationship.

> Everything up to, and including, Age of Ultron = Phase 2

Ant-Man is also part of Phase 2 (it's in the box set and listed as such, though the fan wiki doesn't list the source).

> years upon years of listening to the radio which was full of hateful vitriol and slander

Yikes... that sounds all-too familiar.

See: The Brainwashing of My Dad

" the left doesn't care to tell the difference between any of the various alt-right groups and is just labeling them all Nazi's as an easy way to gain support to fight us, their opposition."

Here's the thing...my parents used to be conservative, and kind, rational, moral, clear thinking people.
After nearly 20 years of Fox news that has changed.
In fact, it changes almost daily. During the election they hated Trump, and supported Kasich, even after Trump was elected they expressed some dismay and embarrassment, but now they moved onto an emotional and nearly hysterical defense of him.
It's irrational....and for my brothers and I, alarming.
How could our totally decent parents have slipped down a slope to such a point that they are now recklessly unaware of what they are saying? It's like they are different people than the ones who raised us.
Is it that their old brains can use logic anymore?
Is it that their old egos are so frightened of being 'wrong' they'd rather become moral contortionists to defend their selfish and bizarre views?
My parents went to public schools, and now are against them.
My parents used birth control, and now are against it.
My parents encouraged me to go to college, now they think it's a liberal brain-washing factory.
My parents condemned genocide, ethnic cleansing, and racial hatred, now they have sympathy for it.
WTF happened?
I totally respected their conservative positions before they got all flipped out on Fox news. We used to be able to have meaningful discussions about the pros and cons of each side - that, sadly, is no longer possible.

I tell you this, because my experience is not unusual, it's common. Wrong or right, a whole generation has watched our parents' morality degrade into hatefulness.
Even if I do care about the finer shades of gray within conservative discourse, I have to deal with the effects of a long-term, right-wing misinformation campaign, and what it has done to my family - which wears my patience very, very thin.

OH MY GOD LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT FROZEN OKAY FROZEN IS THE BEST DISNEY MOVIE IN TWENTY YEARS AND YOU NEED TO SEE IT NOOOOOOW

The Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop, a show about a group of luckless bounty hunters. I recommend it. Kind of like Firefly, but within the next hundred years and no overarching malicious empire. Most people, including me, recommend watching episode 5 first, and then watching the rest in order.

> In their mind they have no reason to, they are financially comfortable and everyone else can just fuck off to them.

I found this on Amazon by accident looking for a different documentary...

I find that it helps explain the mentality. It doesn't fix or change anything (except for the guy who they changed, and his entire family and all of his friends I guess).

Well, the set is Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day, so if you were going to buy it, today would be the day to do it.

For that price, I'd probably say yeah, it's worth it.

The Incredible Hulk is most definitely in the Phase One Box Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083SBMGW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QOYyxbK6TQTJD

Have you seen The Brainwashing of My Dad? I wonder if you could get your Grandad to watch it. My Dad was brainwashed the same way the old guy in this video was.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01C6AFDM6/

I'd troll her, hard.

>"How does it feel being part of the Russian conspiracy to manipulate our democratic elections?"

ESPECIALLY if they're of the age to remember the Cold War, "Duck and Cover", the McCarthy hearings.

I'd start calling Trump "Putin's Bitch" and referring to "Moscow Mitch" every chance you get.

Also, Amazon Prime Video has a great documentary on how the modern "conservative" movement was formed to promote the concerns of international corporations, and how they used the media to sway American voters.

The Brainwashing of My Dad

Doubt they want to see the historical roots of FOX News (scum from the Nixon administration), and their part in "the vast right-wing conspiracy" (really just international corporations like Koch Bros, etc. fighting taxation), but it could be eye-opening to you and DH.

Or you can just get this.

>it’s actually impossible to buy an official copy of Star Wars as it was first released.

?

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware the GOUT is "not as good" as a Blu-ray copy, but to say it's "impossible to find" is a total exaggeration. It's out there, it might not be in 4K, but it exists. This project is an impressive feat even without the hyperbole.

They released the original Star Wars on a two-disc set back in '06. If I had known they were going for this much, I wouldn't have traded mine in last year for the BDs.

EDIT: Ah, it's reasonable used.

This DVD set from 2008 has the theatrical versions on the bonus discs...but I'm guessing those are just the '93 laserdisc versions put onto the DVDs? The quality is not so great, but I believe they are the non-special edition versions.

Math Counters listed high priority: $12.16

Microscope for the kiddo!: $25.55

Harry Potter box set: $50.85

Wacom Tablet: 89.00

Frozen!: 19.96

Total: 197.52

That's just how it is. Believe it or not, Funimation's prices are actually pretty decent. Sentai is similarly priced.

If you really want to shit your pants, go look at Aniplex USA or Ponycan USA releases. Kill La Kill BD Volume 1. Release date: July 15, 2014. Episodes 1-4. ONE THROUGH FUCKING FOUR. $40.00 USD. "Oh that's just the MSRP direct from the walletfuckers, it'll be cheaper from other retailers." Nope and [Amazon link unavailable because Amazon doesn't even carry it].

You paid $30 for Steins;Gate because you bought it when they released the whole thing branded as an anime classic. I know this, because that's when I bought it. That was a rerelease. The original was offered as two split cours that came out a few months apart and each had prices higher than the classic bundle.

This is what Funimation and Sentai do, with few exceptions:

1. Series will release in 12-13 episode "chunks" (what typically constitutes a season, or what we refer to as a "cour") at about a $60.00 MSRP but then after discounts, promotions, and retailer price adjustments, it drops down to the $40-46 range. Fun fact: Even most publishers rarely charge their full MSRP directly from their own store, because it's a customer-baiting mechanic to list a higher price and then make it look like you're offering a discount, even if that discount is permanent.
   
2. Then, once the initial sell-through dies off, if the series was popular enough (or not) it will get heavily discounted in a variety of ways depending on the publisher. Funimation has two different tactics, one of them is the "Anime Classics" label, like that above-linked Steins;Gate or the Spice & Wolf pack. The other option is the "Super Amazing Value Edition" which is a rerelease covered in god-awful "SAVE" branding and, typically, a $20.00 or less price point. Robotics;Notes initially had two separate cour releases, then a SAVE version came out literally years later. Thankfully, all of the SAVE editions have reversible case covers, so you can at least hide that ugly green-striped packaging.
   
   Sentai doesn't really do rereleases, instead they just regularly (but only temporarily) slash the prices of a lot of their old stock. They have a decent sale going on now, but a few months back they had drastically cut down the prices on a lot of their content, with some subtitle-only releases going for $15 per season (on BD!) and dubbed releases for $18.

No, that one is canon within the MCU. The Hulk movie that isn't canon within the MCU is simply Hulk staring Eric Bana. The Incredible Hulk is within the MCU as demonstrated by:

1. General "Thunderbolt" Ross is played by the same actor in The Incredible Hulk and Captain America: Civil War
   
2. Tony Stark talks to Ross in the credits of The Incredible Hulk about the Avengers Initiative.
   
3. A Marvel one-shot shows Phil Coulson deciding on Stark to talk to General Ross.
   
4. The Incredible Hulk is included in the Marvel Phase One box set
   
   The reason Edward Norton has not been in an MCU movie since is that he has some disagreements on how things should be played out. In particular, he was upset that an attempted suicide scene was cut from The Incredible Hulk and replaced with the one-off "Oh crap" gag when he jumps out of a helicopter. Norton himself recommended Mark Ruffalo to take his place.

It's the MCU Phase Two collectors set! The base has all the movies in it and the orb has a light up power stone inside

The Zeitgeist is hyper tuned to Russia, almost to the point of whispers. You can feel it walking around public places. The Coehn/Trump Klan is the wedge and hammer tactic. Plant an idea, make it up, whatever.. then just hammer it on Foxic (rhymes with toxic) News for a few weeks, see if it sticks, then put another wedge in. This is Putin's strategy to split this country. Watch Brainwashing Dad (FREE on Amazon with ads)

This is just plain wrong. I actually have DVDs from a limited release they did (I think in 08) of the original Theatrical versions. People act like they straight don't exist but they are just very rare. But you can bet if those DVDs exist then Lucalfilm/Disney has digital copies somewhere

In case someone doesn't believe me, here is it listed on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=tmm_dvd_title_15?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I highly recommend the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad." It's about how right wing media transformed the filmmaker's elderly father from a caring Democrat into a fearful, angry conservative. It tore the family apart. However, they were able to change his media habits and revert his personality, like he snapped out of a fever dream.

It's on Amazon Instant, and it's a fascinating look at how right wing media operates and how it affects its consumers.

The Brainwashing Of My Dad is a documentary about this phenomenon. ...here's the trailer for it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh3TeTxgNVo

Fox News is a fucking cancer and I have no idea how we can cure it. Luckily younger generations watch less TV, so hopefully it just dies with the Boomers.

Edit: See if you can get your dad to watch the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad". It's on Amazon Prime.

> A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation. https://smile.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFEQG

Check it out, it strikes so many chords with me and is eerilly similar to how my Dad changed over time. He was never a liberal by any means, but over time it's turned to a burning hatred. Last straw was when he straight up told me (a social science high school teacher at the time) that Critical Thinking was liberal brainwashing. I just feel like I can't connect to him on any level after that.

You can get the Laserdisc editions on DVD from Amazon. The DVDs have the 2004 remastered version, plus a "bonus" disc advertised as the original theatrical release. They're really just the Laserdisc versions put onto DVD.

• Episode IV
  
• Episode V
  
• Episode VI
  
  It looks like not all of them are for sale directly from Amazon any more, but you should be able to find them elsewhere (including the Amazon Marketplace) if you're interested in them.

You can actually buy them on DVD. I'm surprised it's not on Amazon any more, but I bought this from Amazon about 6 months ago for 30 bucks. It's a "two disc special edition" version of each movie, meaning one disc with the remaster and a "bonus disc" with the unaltered original. One of my favorite purchases.

https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Extended-Editions/dp/B0026L7H20

This is the one you want. You can find it on sale at various places online fairly often.

Ha, this is the scene where they are standing behind Mordor.

The "Bebop Crew Edition" has the coolest design and the most useless add-ons:

Digipak cases suck and PVC Bookends are useless

But $500 is reasonable, right? Just to know how bad Funimation is trying to fuck you:

• Vinyl costs like $15/per to make, so worth $30 for retail
  
• PVC bookends retail for like $30
  
• Blueray set is like $35 + The movie for $10, plus Digipak cases suck, hard
  
• Litho prints are cheap and easy
  
• The art book is worth somewhere from $25-$45, maximum, especially if it's only 200 pages
  
  That shit should actually cost ~$150-$200, tops.
  

https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFEQG

It gets more than a little liberal echo-chambery after the first half, but before that it is a heartfelt and compelling examination of how moderate, reasonable people became slowly radicalized by right-wing media. Watching it, I felt like the narrator, describing her own personal experience, was talking about my dad.

What if I create a web server that takes all the news from CNN and restyles it so it looks like you're reading Breitbart. And then when you're home you can configure your router to redirect that DNS entry and they spend the next year reading CNN and thinking it's Breitbart.

I picked up my copies in '06. The moment they mentioned a second disc, with the ORIGINAL movie on it (Not remastered. Didn't care, I loved lower quality VHS,) I knew it would be a purchase I had no choice but to make, as it would be the last opportunity for decades.

Most of them seem to be under 55%, besides the DBZ sale.

Steins;Gate is 55% off, which is a really good deal

That is definitely a bootleg. The cover looks cheap, and it is extremely rare for official releases to include everything in one item (Official releases of the TV series and Movie are separate items).

I'm going to assume you don't speak Japanese and are looking for a release with english subtitles, so:

I don't know what country you live in, which is important because of region codes.
If you are in North America you are fine with this one by Funimation, and there is a European release by Manga Entertainment but elsewhere you might be out of luck.

Also if you are just looking for Steins;Gate merchandise in general, like figures or music or something, these are legit sites.

Well, it kind of depends if ADV can get the rights to Funimation, if they can't then we might not see NGE Blu-Rays in NA. If they can however, Funimation is really good about getting boxsets on the market for cheap, see Cowboy Bebop for refrence.

It was pulled from the Japanese Miyazaki box set for that reason. It was made available as a free bonus disc with proof of purchase, but only while quantities lasted, and I imagine the print run has been exhausted by now. That distribution decision is probably the reason it ended up being omitted from the Amazon-exclusive US equivalent of the Miyazaki collection too. I'm not aware of any official (licensed) US home video distribution of this short.

I don't think it was pulled from any museum exhibits, though, and AFAIK it's never been shown as a short there.

I'm pretty sure "Ron Burgundy" has more influence than you think.

I did OP's job for them:

Alien - Alien: Covenant(6 box)

Alien - Alien: Resurrection(4 box)

HERE Includes DVDs with the unaltered versions. LIterally, the only movies I own. Though, the cheaper option may be the "De-Specialized" fan edit, which I've yet to see.

Oddly the blu-ray version is significantly cheaper than the DVD right now (and includes all the extras on DVD, only the movies are on blu-ray). $50 vs. $91

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026L7H20

I agree with Stall0ne that the extras are great!

I would recommend buying the Blu-ray boxset. If you wait a month or so, I'm sure you'll be able to find it for much cheaper around Black Friday.

I would watch it in the order the movies came out personally.

You can still buy it: http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Assembled-Incredible/dp/B0083SBMGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411672819&sr=8-1&keywords=marvel+phase+one+blu-ray+box+set

I bought it on launch and ended up giving away my phase one blu-rays that i already owned to my sister for her kids. I decided to not buy any of the phase 2 movies until box set released.

Steins;Gate! It's my favorite anime and it's one of the best. Currently $30 on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Steins-Gate-Complete-Classic-Blu-ray/dp/B00KU3Y5CG/

Yup. Check out a documentary called The Brainwashing of My Dad. It is on Amazon Videos. Fox has been designed to be fucked up.

Get this or the dvd version. The collectors edition has all 3 cuts of a fantastic film. Between Theatrical, Directors, and Final cut you can really see all of the different versions of the film. Plus there is a lot of cool extras.

They released a dvd set of the OG trilogy that has 6 disks, 3 are the "enhanced" ones and 3 are what I'm pretty sure are the original ones. So unless I'm mistaken, there are copies left that aren't VHS or whatnot.

Here's a link to that specific version (which costs a ton now) where the top review mentions that it does contain the original versions:
https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B001EN71DG

*Edit: What's sketchy is that the amazon listing merges several box sets together, and only the blue one with Luke & Vader clashing is the one that contains the OG versions.

I bought this thing back when it came out. I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A GLOWING TESSERACT. I'm already looking forward to and saving the funds for whatever the phase 2 box set will be. These things are complete pandering money grabs and I don't even care. Want.

Oh FFS! It's £216.54 in the UK! Dammit!

A Ghibli BD collection doesn't exist. Due to several companies owning the rights to individual films. The closest you'll get is The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki. https://www.amazon.com/Collected-Miyazaki-Amazon-Exclusive-Blu-ray/dp/B0117V8BX8

It has 10 of the 22 "Ghibli" films. No other English BD collection exists, if you see anything it's a bootleg.

You can always independently buy the BD of each film. Currently the Disney licensed ones are on sale at Costco for $18 each.

Spirited Away (or any Miyazaki movie). Maybe give her The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki for Christmas.

Like magically all of them? No. Especially if the propaganda hose stays on. But some.

There’s a reason propaganda is used in the first place. If people were all just born acting the way they do, nobody would use propaganda or advertising or influence marketing.

They were limited editions when they came out. It was these editions:

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

Star Wars IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_cEWBwbT74T40D

Includes both the updated versions and theatrical releases.

There was also a Best Buy exclusive version.

http://www.swapadvd.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Exclusive-Best/dvd/266383/

So, while not on Blu-Ray, the theatrical versions have been released on DVD.

These are very cool as they appear unopened and include the Limited Edition comic books. However, the DVDs used are inexpensive.

Here are 41 copies of Star Wars starting at $14.95.

Here are 35 copies of The Empire Strikes Back starting at $17.46.

Here are 45 copies of Return Of The Jedi starting at $13.95.

For less than $60 anyone can obtain the theatrical versions of the OT. They are not rare.

This is the release you want.

It's Special Edition and original theatrical release. Can't believe I picked it up for $15.

The Starting Strength DVD was extremely helpful to me; otherwise, read what you can and try it. With repetition, you'll figure it out.

Yes, 100x yes. You can find it on Amazon right now for only $50.

Girls Guns & G-Strings (2011). Only $4.99 from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Guns-G-Strings-Dona-Speir/dp/B004HHX9OQ

They were "actresses" in a series of movies produced by exploitation king Andy Sidaris. He made a series of "action" movies in the 80's and ;90s that were mainly a vehicle to cast playboy models in softcore porn. You got a lot of scenes like this, where in an ACTION movie, you would get a full three minutes of a woman changing clothes or getting a swimsuit on, or some other contrived reason for her to get nude.

https://www.amazon.com/Girls-Guns-G-Strings-Sidaris-Collection/dp/B004HHX9OQ

I think the heart of the matter is, in the words of Gabe Newell (Blessed be His name);

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

I used to pirate video games all the time, but since I stated using Steam I've almost completely stopped it. I already have more games in my library than I could possibly finish playing for the foreseeable future, and it's provided by an affordable and reliable service. There's just no reason for me to look elsewhere.

The Anime industry needs to emulate this. Today I can legally download a huge selection of video games but for most anime shows legal streams are simply not available. There needs to be a reliable service which doesn't block out big parts of the world. Not to justify my piracy but I do think producers share some of the blame for why piracy is as widespread as it is. Why is it completely impossible for me to legally watch their show even if I'm willing to pay for it?

It's also the fact that often buying these shows is outrageously expensive. I mean, just compare:

The first 7 Episodes of Sword Art online on DVD cost about as much as the full second season of Game of Thrones on Blu-ray

The limited edition Blu-ray release of the 11 episode run of Nisemonogatari costs about the same as Pre-ordering the entire 62 episode run of Breaking bad on blu-ray

The first season of Haruhi Suzumiya on DVD costs more than All 8 Harry Potter movies on Blu-ray

It may look like I'm cherrypicking but I'm really not. When you buy anime the amount of content you get for your money is far less than if you spend that same amount of money on western shows. This is one of the reasons I own relatively few anime series. I can only accept these kinds of prices if I absolutely must own the show. I do hope you take the price factor into consideration, I feel it's often overlooked and I do think it's one of the things that keeps sales so low. I mean, Haruhi came out 7 years ago. Western shows that old can usually be found for peanuts. One Anime I genuinely wanted to buy was Shinsekai Yori but the series was split in 9 Volumes each costing about 50-80$. Even as a huge fan of the series I just don't have that kind of money.

Amazon has the 2006 Special Edition DVD which includes the (almost) unaltered original cut. It's expensive because it's been out of production.

There are semi-legal releases floating around the internet, including the de-specialized version. Reference the almighty Google machine.

The cut that was shown in theaters has never been released in a completely unaltered form.

"It's literally impossible to see the theatrical cuts on video because they've never been released" is the biggest lie that I hear every day on the internet that I'm most sick of hearing. The theatrical editions of all three films were released on disc 2 of the "Limited Edition" DVDs in 2006.

Yes, it sucks that they're long discontinued and copies are super expensive. Yes, it sucks that they haven't been restored and remastered. Yes, it sucks that Lucasfilm only thinks of the original films as "special features." But if you're willing to spend some money or do some legwork (I've found them readily available at public libraries, and maybe people have had luck at yard sales and used record shops), you can watch the original theatrical trilogy at home, yub nubs and all.

Not 1080p (currently); but the 480p (DVD) can be still purchased:

• Episode IV: A New Hope
  
• Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
  
• Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi
  
  Edit: Oops I meant 480p not 420p! Thanks for pointing that out

You can buy the original theatrical version on DVD.

Blade Runner - The Final Cut Collectors Edition. This set has the making of documentary "Dangerous Days". It is a great watch and really speaks to how classic film making and in-camera effects is a dying art with all the use of CG now days. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into the making of this film.

This set is honestly the best set of movies I own. The box it comes in is simply amazing. its not just a typical cardboard holder. Id recommend checking it out in store to really see what the box is like. The extended edition is not necessary but makes it a little more enjoyable.

as for steel-books, they are the same most of the time, its just the case they come in is just a better box. Sometimes they have cool cover art. I always prefer steel-books just because they look better than the plastic holders.

This is a less confusing link because it actually shows the $25.99 sale.

Assuming you're talking about this one, no it does not.

It looks like you are in desperate need of the Phase One Collection.

There were collector's sets of phase 1 and phase 2 that came with the Tesseract from Avengers 1 and Orb containing the Power Stone from Guardians Vol 1.

These are the sets I was talking about.

Phase 1 Box Set

Phase 2 Box Set

I found it at Wal-mart, but try Amazon

$122 on Amazon right now.

Notice that's only Part 1 of 2, and Part 2 is still $50. The complete series is $42 USD, but is available for $40 CAD on Amazon.ca and $27.50 USD on Amazon.com.

The deals aren't as great as they seem.

Weird, because it’s the exact same one as this: https://www.amazon.com/Cowboy-Bebop-Complete-Wendee-Lee/dp/B00NP06DJE Not sure why it would be labeled limited when it’s just the standard complete series blu-ray

Top result on Amazon when you search for Cowboy Bebop

Not OP but this is the Phase 2 box set. It comes with the Infinity Stone/Sphere from Guardians along with the awesome covers. If you really like the covers the Phase 1 box set has the same style artwork.

Just to be clear: There's nothing on these discs that aren't on the Alien Anthology, correct? I'm tempted to get these (if only for the booklets/art cards), but I might just wait for the next FoxConnect 50% off sale.

Remember that one time when Lucas released THE ORIGINAL THEATRICAL VERSIONS ON DVD? Apparently fucking not, because everyone here is in love with their goddamn VHS versions.

You need this.

There's a Starting Strength DVD, it's Rippetoe training a bunch of beginners on all the main lifts, I'd pick that up if you've got some spare cash, it really helped me out - Amazon link

Anything from Malaysia is o most 100% bootleg... I mean why would Japan have any of it in english or Malay ?

Since it's a sub only release(some of them include the english dub) it's just a rip including subs from online :3 and most likely a low quality rip at that. I bet the subs are crap encoded as well :p

Bottom line: They're bull shit and it's totally not a "Japanese import"... if anything it's "Official Maaysia import" which is pretty much a fancy way to say "bootleg" :p

rest of the Steins;Gate anime merch

There are a ton of good anime out there, and a lot that also have good dubs, but I'm going to start with what I think are the best of the best, to avoid overwhelming anyone.

-Cowboy Bebop. This scene is from the movie, not the series, but the series is even better! This masterpiece was not only my favorite anime for over a decade and STILL to this day the #1 gateway anime for the uninitiated, but also the first time I felt like I might be selectively gay. It's not freely watchable online, but that doesn't matter because you should have this one in your collection anyway. Still, here's a decent upload of episode 1. If you want the rest (and you should), do the right thing.

-FLCL has one of my favorite scenes to listen to on full blast. Also known as Fooly Cooly, it's rare to see such a good dub for something so off the wall, but it's a good thing considering it's one of the best ever anime made, dub or not! It's also only 6 episodes long, so you'll be at the end (and starting your second viewing, which you'll need to understand the plot) in no time! They're even available free on Hulu!

-Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (don't watch the related videos if you want to avoid spoilers). Not only is it a great series to begin with like everything else I'm listing here, it's also another great gateway series for sci-fi or cop drama fans, just like Cowboy Bebop. Plus, the ENTIRE English dub of the first series is available for free on Manga Entertainment's channel. It's completely legit, they own the license and host some of their shows for free as a courtesy to combat piracy and market their work. When you're done watching that, get hype to know that there's still another full series called 2nd GIG (with an even BETTER intro, R.I.P. Origa) and a movie called Solid State Society.

-Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood. Don't watch the series that isn't labeled "Brotherhood," and when you watch Brotherhood, skip episode 1. Why not? The original series was made before the manga was finished, and it's a totally different story after the first half (they caught up when the manga was still only about 1/4 done). Brotherhood is twice as long, but started airing at the same time the manga was ending, so it follows the original (and much better) story. Since the first 13 episodes or so of Brotherhood basically retell the exact same events as the original series, the makers decided to show off with a totally original first episode which didn't happen in either the manga OR the original series, and it's completely throwaway filler that doesn't service the plot whatsoever. It even spoils some things for any first-time watcher that can pick up on foreshadowing. That's why the best place to start is Brotherhood Episode 2. However, don't let all those stipulations turn you off! The 63 episodes that you will see if you follow my instructions tell an incredible story that everyone can enjoy. This series is the best at gripping you emotionally in a way that's not forced or unwelcome. It has excellent action without defying its own rules, excellent characters without falling back on references and templates, and excellent drama without making you roll your eyes. This is the sort of storytelling that lesser shows only manage to imitate. Unfortunately, it only seems possible to watch up to episode 4 online without Netflix, and Netflix only has most of the series, not the whole thing.

-Last Exile (not "Fam, the Silver Wing", the original). It's not quite as good as Fullmetal Alchemist. In fact, in my opinion this is the weakest of my list, but it still deserves to be on here. Like I said above, this list isn't just good dubs, it's good dubs for anime that were already good to begin with. It gets a bit weird near the end, but the presentation, writing, and drama throughout are among the best. If you don't mind the Little Miss McGuffin, you may even like this one better than the rest, so try it out! Just be prepared for a major shark jump in the last episode. To be fair, that episode also has TWO of the most heartbreaking moments in all of anime, so if you don't mind being incredibly sad, it may be a net gain. It also has one of the most beautiful credits sequences in the entire medium. If you'd like to watch the whole thing freely, FUNimation hosts this series subbed on their channel, but even better, the ENTIRE dub is free on Hulu, no membership required! You do have to sit through a lot more ads than Youtube though.

-Hellsing Ultimate. Holy shit, Hellsing Ultimate. You want METAL? You don't get much more metal than motherfucking Alucard! You want limiter releases? How about multiple levels of limiters to release? How about the first level makes you an indestructible god of battle? Where do you go from there? You want gore? How about half of someone's head getting shaved off cell by cell like it was against a sanding belt? Ready for Being a Badass 101? Note: Hellsing ULTIMATE, not just the old "Hellsing". This is another Fullmetal Alchemist situation.

-Kill La Kill. As LordRaison said (same link), the dub is pretty good in general, with the exception of Senketsu. Senketsu unfortunately sounds like he isn't invested in what's happening at all, totally the opposite of the original. Besides that one problem, it's a good dub, which is more than I can say for Gurren Lagann. Gurren Lagann currently my favorite anime of all time. It's the one that finally unseated Cowboy Bebop after its decade-long reign, but the dub is just awful, and it doesn't make me happy to say it ;_; Definitely watch Gurren Lagann, but watch it subbed. If you need another reason to watch Kill La Kill, listen to this and then realize that that song goes with the character in the video. The dub isn't easily available anywhere online, but the subbed version (which is just as fantastic as Gurren Lagann) is on Netflix and Crunchyroll.

-Spice and Wolf. It's a half romance, half slice of life, half fantasy, half sports anime, if you consider economics a sport. It definitely won't be to everyone's liking, but there are few better waifus in the world than Holo the Wise Wolf. It's not often you get a respectable, distinguished performance from an actress, since the roles they're hired for in this medium are rarely as respectable or distinguished as Holo herself. Of course, there's nothing respectable about being perfect. Holo is no perfect fantasy, cute in every way she's not capable. She's stuck-up, jealous, needy, high-maintenance, and a fiend for alcohol, but also intelligent, confident, compassionate, funny, and adorable. As ultimate proof that it's not just a show about a moe girl, the male lead is a fully developed character himself. Lawrence is naive but charismatic, ambitious yet realistic, manipulative but also generous. If you want an anime that respects both genders without worshiping them, this is it. Are you ready to leave behind your old waifu? Hulu pulls through again, with the entire first season.

-Dragonball Z (the FUNimation dub), obviously. Everyone's either seen it, or will see it eventually, so get on with it.

And of course, Ghost Stories (NSFW). Sorry! I mean Ghost Stories (really NSFW). SHIT, GHOST STORIES (really, REALLY NSFW)! Fuck it, Ghost Stories.

It's from the MCU Phase 2 Box Set.

It absolutely is. Not only was there a character in Guardians who was also in Thor (The Collector), we saw a shot of the infinity stone from Guardians during Thor's vision in Age of Ultron. The Big Bad Guy in Guardians was also Thanos, who will be the Big Bad Guy in Avengers 3

edit: Here's the official, limited edition Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 Blu-Ray Boxed Set. Note how it includes Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as a model of the infinity stone from Guardians.

There are no officially released complete sets of the Studio Ghibli films. There are some sets though that you can get, which are official:
Japanese Takahata films
Japanese Miyazaki films
North American Miyazaki films Canada
North American Miyazaki films US

I find the best place to purchase the movies is though Amazon though. They have them all, and since Amazon almost always lowers their prices to match competitors, it tends to be the best price. At the moment, Amazon Canada is matching Walmart, so all the Ghibli films are $19.96.

The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki (Amazon Exclusive) [Blu-ray] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0117V8BX8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oHsHzb43EGQ3W

I'm saving up to buy the ultimate set on amazon but ohhhh man it is gonna be annoying to sell one of my vital organs. These movies are magic and each one has a piece of my mind and soul. Did anyone hear Hayao is not actually retiring? :)

If you ever get a chance, check out the documentary called "The Brainwashing of My Dad". Just confirms what we already know, but worth watching. https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFDM6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526407169&sr=8-1&keywords=brainwashing+of+my+dad

See?!
I just got one. :3

[I've just looked at Amazon, the blu-ray is there for less than $75?](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Extended-Editions/dp/B007ZQAKHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486779887&sr=8- 1&keywords=lotr+extended+edition+blu+ray) The DVDs would be even cheaper and that's not even counting used

I can't speak for Vallen, but I have that gold-box special edition blu-ray set and it's PACKED full of bonus content.

It's come down in price significantly, I got it within a couple of months of release and paid double for what it is now

Aw shucks, I already filmed it and released it on Blu-ray ^^^^Get ^^^^it? ^^^^Cuz ^^^^the ^^^^text ^^^^is ^^^^blue!

Lies, it's actually $49.99. It was $39.99 in December 2012 though. Fantastic box set by the way.

Amazon has the Marvel Phase 1 Set and Phase 2 Set

Ive got both of these.


The Phase 1 set is getting more and more difficult to come by hence the price. Both of them are pretty sweet though. They both come with replicas of S.H.I.E.L.D dossiers and trinkets from the movies like Scott Langs Basket Robbins name tag, an Avengers Patch, Steve Rogers medical files before and after he took the Super Soldier Serum.

Im sure a Phase 3 set is in the works eventually.

You can get a phase one box set already:

we'll probably get a phase 2 set once phase 2 is complete

Here in the states we have a BluRay version of both. Here's Phase 1: http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Assembled-Incredible/dp/B0083SBMGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450713796&sr=8-1&keywords=phase+1+collection and Phase 2: http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Guardians-Exclusive/dp/B00Z7EMJ4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450713796&sr=8-2&keywords=phase+1+collection

Thanks for the contest!.

Complete Steins;Gate series for 31 USD. Close enough?

If you pre order amazon will give you the lowest price its been at since you ordered once its out. Its 35.99 on amazon.ca, so maybe they will put it on an even better sale on .com too. Basically have nothing to lose by preorder ordering and then cancelling later if you change your mind

Outlaw Star: The Complete Series - Blu-ray + DVD Box Set for $26.88 and another 20% off? That's a steal. Thanks!

Cowboy Bebop: Complete Series - Blu-ray Box Set is on a lightening deal. All claimed for $18.49.

Yes the cat sound is different too.

The originals I have on dvd look like this...
I am pretty certain these are what was originally broadcast on adult swim back in the day.

The Blu-ray set I have is an updated reissue of the remix dvds that look like this... or this...

I'm glad I'm not just crazy and am not the only one that this bothers. If you want the old broadcast versions, hunt down the first dvds I linked.

Even though I have the series on blu-ray, I will never get rid of those for this very reason. Also because it was the first anime on dvd I ever purchased (sentimental value, to the max).

edit- All these I listed are American releases.

Found it OP, thank me later.

Not for $389.99 CAD you wouldn't :P

Amazon is not as nice as you think. Stuff like this is clearly fake/pirated yet still for sale on there constantly.

Real official versions are way more expensive.

Most definitely a bootleg set. I fell for it once and bought it, they were pretty bad. Watchable but bad...

Here is a legit set: https://www.amazon.com/Collected-Miyazaki-Amazon-Exclusive-Blu-ray/dp/B0117V8BX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486588088&sr=8-1&keywords=miyazaki+collection

It's a little pricey but totally worth it. I personally bought them one by one as they came on sale, but if you want a collectors set that one works. Do note that it's only Miyazaki movies. Wish they had one for the whole studio...

I think the complete blu-ray collection of Hayao Miyazaki is the best Christmas present!

> most of the (Fox News) viewers are super successful people and smart in business. It’s amazing to watch.

Dude, WTF are you smoking? Don't confuse an exceptionally high viewership among the elderly with "super successful people and smart in business". Elderly people are notoriously fearful of any change and distrustful of minorities, so they like Fox News because it feeds these fears and distrust and tells them they're right and everyone else is wrong.

This is not something "super successful people and smart in business" crave. This is what your racist uncle craves, and just because he grew up in a better economy and has had longer time to save and invest doesn't make him "super successful people and smart in business".

It just makes him old, fearful and bitter with a better retirement account.

You admit though, that your dad really fell under their spell after he had a stroke, so you're saying that in his weakened, debilitated state he found himself more mentally susceptible to the Fox News messaging?

You've proven my point.

To understand, watch The Brainwashing of My Dad, it's free on Amazon Prime.

This is worth watching, especially for those of us who have parents or family members who suddenly seem to have lost their minds.


https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFDM6

It's also on Amazon Prime.

You might be interested in this documentary if you haven't already seen it. The right wing brainwashed dad is endearing when he comes out of his spell at the end.

The Brainwashing of My Dad

Good Lord, I feel you on this but with my dad. He went to West Point, worked on Atlas rockets, and has never lied to my knowledge. Never a hint of racism, nothing. He really takes the honor code seriously. And he's a Fox News watcher. How does he not see the hypocrisy? We've talked about it plenty. It blows me away.

Here's a great documentary about this.

You should check out : The Brainwashing of My Dad (2016) - http://www.thebrainwashingofmydad.com

• Free with amazon prime
  
  
• Free with hulu
  
  A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation.
  
  Starring: Jen Senko, Frank Senko, Narrated by Matthew Modine
  
  Runtime: 1 hour, 29 minutes
  
  Trailer: https://youtu.be/vXTjz2H57rE

I highly recommend the documentary "The Brainwashing of my Dad", it might answer some of your questions.

https://smile.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFEQG?sa-no-redirect=1

You should see if you can get him to sit down and watch this documentary with you.

Yup

You just need to find these versions of them on DVD. They all have the original Theatrical cut of the movies along with the "improved" Lucas versions. The original cuts are just transfers of the Laserdisc versions of the movies but that's the best available at the moment.

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

Plus, these 2-Disc DVD's will feature a bonus disc that includes, for the first time ever on DVD, the original films as seen in theaters in 1977, 1980 and 1983.

> the Star Wars tape--is it of the original theatrical release?

With that box art, I'm almost certain it is. Didn't they finally relent and release the original theatrical release to DVD though?

ninja edit I just checked, and I guess you have to get it in a 2-disc set with the "enhanced" version. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Two-Disc-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B000FQJAIW

I have the original theatrical versions on DVD, it comes with both the "special" (shitty) version and the original on a second disc.

ex

They were included as bonus features in the limited edition 2 disc dvds. Here's the New Hope one:

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW

You may be disappointed, the voice-over was only done when the studio thought no one would understand the movie at all. But give it a shot. I liked it only because it gave the feeling of an old detective movie from the Forties.

Edit: The 2007 Final Cut 5 disc set has all the different versions of the film on the third disc.

Blade Runner! The original five-disc collection is easily the best blu-ray I've ever purchased. There's a new 30th anniversary edition out, but I don't think it has all of the same bonus materials:

http://www.amazon.com/Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Edition-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1376681534&sr=8-4&keywords=blade+runner+blu+ray

Blade Runner a very good transfer, and the cityscape scenes are stunning.

The ultimate mega collector's edition is very reasonably priced, and it contains no less than five different cuts of the movie, so even if you already have the film on DVD, maybe you can justify the extra to see the obscure and acclaimed "workprint version".

Get This edition. All five cuts. I got it for like $15 at best buy

I'm listing sets, because they offer the most bang for the buck.

• The Man With No Name Trilogy: Western
  
• Alien Anthology: Science Fiction
  
• Mel Brooks Collection: Comedy
  
• Dirty Harry: Ultimate Collector's Edition: Crime
  
  I'll post another reply with individual releases, but these would give you a helluva start.

The best type, in my opinion, are the retrospective types of film documentaries ... that way people are real and talk about some of the issues during production.

Agree with everyone has said, just wanted to post an amazon link to the dvd set that has the newer edits but comes with the original theatrical cuts just in case anyone was interested. Here

sorry... blu only. I think the reason why is because they had semi-recently released the DVD versionswhich are actually superior to this new BD version because it included the unaltered versions of all the original trilogy (meaning no extra/crowbarred CGI crap Lucas forced in).

I couldn't believe how much these DVD sets are going for now... I guess they're in high demand now because everyone is now realizing how much the BD is kinda screwing everyone over. I'm glad I got the DVDs when they were $15 each!!

Of course it does. It was the second bonus disc that came out a few years ago with the special edition set of the original trilogy. It's not gorgeous quality but it is a DVD version of the original completely unedited and unfooled with movies.
I think this is it but I got a much older boxed set.

If anyone's looking, there is a DVD boxset that contains the original theatrical editions of the trilogy.

It's common enough across media to have series/movie/game/book go out of circulation and have a fanbase which grows through piracy, so much that there is a tv trope for it.

I'd like to challenge rather that it is OK to do this with other media, assuming that it is no longer being produced and actual DVDs/books aren't being sold by retailers and the studio has folded/the author has died and cannot collect royalties. I challenge that this part of your post:

> video games disappear into oblivion and there is no way to find them without forking over triple the original price or risking getting conned big-time.

is not exclusive to video games. Just recently a friend of mine asked for his birthday, a copy of Star Wars that was not remastered or re-edited, where Han shot first and they didn't put in any new scenes. The only DVD version where that is true is being sold for almost $300 now and I got it 2 months ago when it was only $100. George Lucas didn't make a penny off that transaction.

I have an unaltered DVD trilogy I would sell you. It's this one PM me if you're interested.

Just do Starting Strength.

http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wiki

Is this what you are looking for?

http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2


(you might need to read the page in more detail to realize that it is a DVD and not the book itself)

The supplemental DVD is a really great resource, especially for people without a competent coach or friend to lend a set of eyes. He walks through every lift for ~30 minutes with a whole class of trainees - young, old, male, female, etc...

I have marks DVD starting strength, one of the guys he was training was going "ass to grass", mark told him it wasn't necessary to go that low, and corrected him.

edit:
http://imgur.com/9Sfk8.jpg
after the guy finishes that rep rippetoe says
"Not quite so deep Jim, dont relax to get your depth.
We dont get depth at the expense of lumbar relaxation."
"if it gets excessive, its not necessary to go that deep because you're below parallel"
"everything needs to stay tight, we want you to get as deep as you can get, with a tight lumbar"

he says a bunch of other stuff... but you can just buy it and hear it for yourself.
http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1288863118&sr=1-1
its a real cheap dvd and its hella useful.

I'm not sure, but those prices seem insane. I bought the Blu Ray Extended edition of all 3 for like $30 total, and it has, I think, the exact same content as the 2003 boxes (which I still have).

This is what I have, and the amazon page has a comparison of various box sets. Looks like it confirms that the Blu Ray has the same content

This is the one I bought a few years ago on Prime day:

https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Extended-Editions/dp/B0026L7H20?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0

Btw, they finally have a release date for the Extended Edition Blu-ray of the original trilogy. FINALLY.

June 28, 2011

Here you go

Here's what I'm considering

Yes! I bought this set about a year ago and me and my friends have been slowly making our way through them.

Not just that one, all 12!

http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Guns-G-Strings-Sidaris-Collection/dp/B004HHX9OQ

Or you could buy the DVD along with 11 other hilarious films by Andy Sidaris for only $6!!!

http://amzn.com/B004HHX9OQ

I had this one on an Amazon list for Christmas a few years ago. I like it, watched all the movies and didn't notice anything missing. I'm pretty sure there was bonus content on the discs too, bonus scenes or outtakes.

I know it seems like it should cost more for 8 discs, but the cost of blu ray is coming down as digital becomes more popular.

The 2006 2-disc individual releases have the 1993 laserdisc master dumped on the second disc. It's not great quality (and is awkward as fuck for 16:9 TVs), but it's the originals. They're also included on the 6-disc slim OT box set (don't ask me why Amazon's price is so outrageous on that one, I see it in stores for $30 all the time).

If you want better quality, download Harmy's Despecialized Editions. They're 720p HD restorations of the original versions from the Blu-Rays, the 2006 DVDs I mentioned above, and actual 35mm film scans (among other sources). PM me if you're interested and I'll tell you where you can get them.

Or you can do individual released with original theatrical and special edition

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_tmfwtb1FPQ5HJ

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FQJAJG/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qofwtb0P8KF34

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FQVX78/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_apfwtb04Y3HAK

They did, years ago, on DVD at least. They're quite expensive now.

Star Wars

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

The discs you're looking for are these: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. That's the box design for the release that includes the "Original Theatrical Version" of the films. The original cut has never been released on Blu-Ray.

Unfortunately, they're lower quality than the 2004 Special Edition versions they're packaged with, and especially lower quality than the Blu-Ray releases of the 2004 Special Editions.

If you are looking for snack ideas, there are several Star Wars cookbooks with themed recipes and fun names that you could use:

• Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes
  
  
• Darth Malt and More Galactic Recipes
  
  
• Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones, and Other Galactic Goodies
  
  
• And a new one will be released the day the movie comes out "BB-Ate: Awaken to the Force of Breakfast and Brunch"
  
  There's also a party book with more recipes, games and decoration ideas:
  
  
• The Star Wars Party Book: Recipes and Ideas for Galactic Occasions
  
  As far as giveaways go, there are plenty of directions to take that. I went to a screening of The Force Awakens and they sold raffle tickets for a chance to win one of several gift bags. The good thing is, there's a ton of Star Wars merchandise so chances are that you will be able to find just about any item to fit your price range and employee demographics. Here are a few ideas.
  
  Expensive:
  
  
• Vouchers to visit the new Star Wars Disney theme park when it opens in 2019.
  
  
• Voucher for passes to Star Wars Celebration (Official Star Wars convention) in 2019.
  
  
• Prop Replicas. Ex.- Captain Phasma's Helmet, First Order TIE Pilot Helmet, Anakin/Luke/Rey's Lightsaber
  
  
• Star Wars Battlefront II (with or without X-Box One or PS4)
  
  Moderately Priced:
  
  
• Sphero BB-8
  
  
• Blu-Ray collection of the films- Ep. 1-6, Ep. 7 and Rogue One.
  
  
• The complete series of The Clone Wars- Seasons 1-5 and The Lost Missions.
  
  
• Star Wars Rebels- Seasons 1, 2, and 3 (when it is released).
  
  
• An assortment of Star Wars novels (if you need help with those, we can provide a list of the most popular)
  
  
• An assortment of Star Wars comics (same deal)
  
  
• An assortment of Star Wars video games (ditto)
  
  Reasonably Priced:
  
  
• Star Wars action figures (preferably Black Series)
  
  
• Star Was Nerf Guns
  
  
• Star Wars Jewelry
  
  
• Star Wars apparel- ThinkGeek has a nice selection, but you can find T-shirts and the like at just about any retail store.
  
  
• Ticket vouchers to see The Last Jedi again (maybe in IMAX)
  
  
  
  
  Edit: If you really want to impress your hardcore fan employees, have the limited editions of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as a giveaway. Those specific releases of the film contain a bonus disc that has the last time that the original theatrical cuts of the films were released. Most releases of the films since '97 have had various changes made to them that some really hardcore fans dislike, so copies of the theatrical cut are highly sought after by certain fans.

Couple hundred bucks? Here's the used ANH dvd for 22 bucks:

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1488298488&sr=8-4&keywords=star+wars+original+trilogy

There is actually a DVD copy of the films in their original form. The DVD comes with two discs and one is the special edition and the other is the original release. Here is the one I bought. I found it at a local used movie store and got it for $3

I have the theatrical versions of the original trilogy on DVD. They are still available for sale on Amazon and sometimes eBay. They will cost more than the average DVD, but are well worth it.

Episode IV on Amazon

Episode V on Amazon

Episode VI on Amazon

I will warn you, [it might be a little expensive. ] ( http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Two-Disc-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B000FQJAIW )

Not impossible expensive, but a little higher priced.

Here’s a direct link to Episode IV, Episode VI, and Episode VII.

Enjoy.

1.) Something that is grey.

2.) Something reminiscent of rain. It always rains when I go camping

3.) Something food related that is unusual. Tiramisu wafer cookies. Better than sex.

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. I have a whole wishlist for other people. My boyfriend, gramdma, mom, dad, and little brother.

5.) A book you should read! Clearly. You should have read these already because they are the best books evar.

6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping Not on my wishlist

7.) Something related to cats Leopards are big cats.

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it.

9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Because it's the best trilogy of all time.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. To whack them in the head and the use the pick to smash their brains out. And it's foldable so it will fit in a backpack.

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I'm a student and I practically live in the library most of the school year. I need a laptop because the computers at school are SO outdated.

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.

[Anything that has my real name on it.]()

Anything made in Oregon. This is a bit of a stretch but bear with me. The Bourne Triology preceeds The Bournce Legacy. Which starred Edward Norton who also starred in Fight Club. A movie based off the book who was written by none other than Chuck Palahniuk who is from Oregon & resides there.

I'll be back to finish this!

fear cuts deeper than swords

I'm assuming that OP means the original (non-special edition) theatrical version.

There was a box set released a few years ago which had the original version on DVD. Amazon link.

Now the problem is that the DVD transfer wasn't very good quality. If you want to go down the rabbit hole regarding the quality issue, do a google search for the "despecialized edition."

If you do want to check out the films for yourself, start with A New Hope but I recommend to look for the so called "limited edition" on dvd.
Like this one here, but don't order it off of Amazon. Just get it from a local movie trading store, you can call them and ask if they have a limited editon in stock. (My local store sold Empire Strikes Back limited for $17)

It's a long story but the director, George Lucas, messed with the original theatrical versions with crappy CGI edits. It's a nitpick with some scenes, but others are ruined by the updated scenes. That's why alot of people don't recommend watching any new version of the original trilogy until the un-edited version is finally released. (Disney, get to work on it!)

And by watching the original, you mean (for the new consumer):
Purchase the DVD versions with the bonus discs, as the bonus discs are the closest to the original movie prints that exist on commercial DVD.

* Edit: These versions:

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Widescreen/dp/B000FQJAIW/

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-Versions-Widescreen/dp/B000FQJAJG/

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-VI-Widescreen/dp/B000FQVX78/

It was made in color. I couldn't imagine Star Wars being what it is if it was made in B&W. They do sell versions of the old and new versions. Just found this on amazon Star Wars. So shouldn't be too hard to find a torrent version I'm guessing.

There are no licensed bluray releases of the true original films. They are available on dvd though as bonus discs of the Limited Editions. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW And a little loophole is that if the Limited Edition is the full screen version then the bonus disc original films will still be widescreen. There are apparently still some very minor changes to the original films like a couple random sound effects but I've never gone through and picked them out. Although I dont suppose it matters since there's apparently nothing to compare it to other than the original 35mm print. Apparently no home video was ever released of the original films as they 100% exactly appeared in the theater. So the story goes.

As for the bluray Special Editions of the original trilogy episodes 4-6 I actually prefer Empire Strikes Back in the Special Edition. Every single change I think adds to the story and is very well done. Episodes 4 and 6 special editions are basically pure garbage. Episode 4 has a reincorporated deleted scene which is interesting but very badly done although I think they did the best possible job. As a star wars fanatic I think the only thing worthwhile in the episode 4 special edition is that its now the first appearance of Boba Fett although just a cameo. Not that he ever has much more than that anyway.

And I could've swore there are actually technically two editions with added scenes. I swear I saw in the theater A New Hope that was just the THX Remastered Edition which still had one new shot of a few X-Wing Fighters approaching a planet and also put the rings around the explosions of Alderan and the Death Star. I can't find any reference to this though but I swear I saw it in Dallas at Northpark in 1995

I found these editions for $12 at the local DVD exchange store just a few months ago. The bonus disc has the theatrical editions, and while I've seen some complaints about the quality, I had no problems with it. I was really pleased to show my younger sister the original versions for her first time watching them.

This dvd version of episode IV (and the matching V and VI) contain the only released dvd versions of the original theatrical release of the trilogy (full screen releases too). Naturally, copies of these versions go quite a lot of money because of this.

A while ago the movies were released as 2 disc special editions, one with the newest "remastering" and one with the original theatrical release on it.

Here is one of the amazon links, they run for $40+ now

The (first? this version.) dvd release included the unedited versions. it's a shame it's expensive now.

Not alone - but they were included in this series. Unfortunately they're letterboxed in a 4x3 frame, which sucks eggs … but that's what was on the LaserDiscs too.

The original cuts no longer exist on (usable) film - the "improvements" were cut straight into the camera negatives, and what original prints are left are too beat-up to use for video.

One more reason to go hate-watch "Strange Magic" this weekend. (It's a George Lucas pet project, and it's getting horrendous reviews.)

It's not well known but this specific version of the movies:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FQJAIW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1427746186&sr=8-3&keywords=star+wars+episode+4&dpPl=1&dpID=51u3YmzYxNL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
Has the original versions included on the 2nd disc as a "bonus feature"
Well worth the price, especially if you can find it used somewhere.

Edit: I'd still love to see the original unmolested versions of episodes 4-6 remastered on blu-ray

I wanted to watch this again before seeing 2049. It's been years and I wasn't sure which version(s) I've seen - so I checked my local library system and amazingly they had the 5-disc Collector's Blu Ray. I only watched the "Final Cut" version but it was better than I remember.

I bought this collection a couple years ago: http://www.amazon.com/Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Edition-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4

Back in 2009, I got that exact five disc set, except it was the Blu Ray, for $20 after shipping from Amazon. True story.

Glad I was able to convince you! it really is worth it. i mean the results speak for themselves!

Just one thing though, make sure that this is the box set you get:

https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Anthology-Aliens-Resurrection-Blu-ray/dp/B001AQO3QA/ref=tmm_mfc_title_1?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1469153835&sr=8-1

And not this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Quadrilogy-Blu-ray-Tom-Skerritt/dp/B00MBNZ1Y4/ref=tmm_mfc_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1469153835&sr=8-1


The 2014 blu-ray quadrilogy set (not sure why they brought that name back) from what i understand, is just the 4 movies and does not include the two bonus feature disks. so unless you dont want the extras, make sure you get the 2010 antholgy set not the 2014 quadrilogy set. (the disks themselves are the same though, so there is no difference in quality between the movies themselves in these sets)

Recently bought the Alien quadrilogy to watch. This Image will give you all the movies along with the special and theatrical editions. It has a mode in the special editions that shows which scenes are extra compared to the theatrical releases. I bought mine from bestbuy for $10 which I though was a great deal considering it was all of the Alien movies (except Prometheus) in HD.

This image should get you all the movies along with the special features. What you want to look for in the descriptions is disc 5 and 6. The whole set works like a uh..set in each of the individual movies there is a mode that you can tag the special features you want to watch and when you insert disc 6 it will bring all of your tagged special features to the front. They essenstially took disc 5 and 6 out of the set and sold that as a seperate version.

Both of the quadrilogy Blu rays have the same movies, features, and interface. The first one is just missing disc 5 and 6 with all of the extra special features. Hope that helps.

EDIT: This is the amazon page.Depending on which one your looking to buy you can change the multi-format from October 2010 to October 2014 for the different versions. 2010 being the Anthology with discs 5 and 6, 2014 being the Quadrilogy with only 4 discs.

I know the Alien Anthology has this going for it. I've got this box set in my collection.

also - the blu-ray version says it comes with both versions as well:


Disc 2: ALIENS

1986 Theatrical Version
1991 Special Edition with James Cameron Introduction
Audio Commentary by Director James Cameron, Producer Gale Anne Hurd, Alien Effects Creator Stan Winston
Final Theatrical Isolated Score by James Horner
Composer’s Original Isolated Score by James Horner
Deleted and Extended Scenes
*MU-TH-UR Mode Interactive Experience with Weyland-Yutani Datastream

Keep a look out on the Alien Anthology. Picked it up last year for $20, and have seen it go on sale multiple times.

http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Anthology-Blu-ray-Sigourney-Weaver/dp/B001AQO3QA

No, you are actually quite wrong.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Harrison-Ford/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1313528922&sr=8-5

See that? It comes with both versions. There are DVD versions of the originals. I don't know what in the world would make you think there wasn't.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Harrison-Ford/dp/B001EN71DG

This has the original versions (in 4:3 with letterbox) as they were shown in '77, '80, and '83 as well as the new ones (in anamorphic widescreen) - not sure if they have the Hayden Christenson bullshit, though.

They released the original, unaltered trilogy on DVD. Did it kind of under the radar, but there you go.

Each of the 3 original theatrical movies are included as bonus discs, the only bummer is that they're letterboxed instead of being presented in anamorphic widescreen. Ah well, better than nothin', eh?

They made a dvd set which had the original trilogy unedited on the 2nd DVD. I have them, and would guess you can find them somewhere. Of course, a blu-ray version would be nice.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical-Edition/dp/B001EN71DG

You can get the theatrical cut of Star Wars on DVD.

This set, which you can find in many retailers pretty easily, has the "original theatrical cut" on the second "Bonus Features" disc. It's just the Laserdisc version droped on a DVD, but it looks better than any VHS.

This set (although I don't remember it being quite so expensive) has both the altered and original versions.

I agree with this...but they are not hard to find. This collection has both:
Amazon

They just aren't the best quality because they are non-anamorphic transfers from the Laser Discs. Still better than watching the special edition though.

The unaltered versions were released on DVD, packaged with the remasters about 5 years ago.

The idea that the originals don't exist in a modern format is a complete myth.

Edit: I'd like to point out that this comment thread was started with people pointing out that how good the film looks isn't as important as the story, acting, etc, and everyone who's responding negatively to the DVD release is claiming that it's bad because it doesn't look good enough, which is also bullshit, by the way. And how the fuck is that George Lucas's fault, anyway?

People love to hate, and even when their EXACT request is met, it's never good enough. If you, reading this right now, genuinely still care about this, go fuck yourself. You're an idiot. It never mattered in the first place. It's not going to start mattering just because you complain endlessly about how bad the world is because an okay film from 40 years ago doesn't conform to your TVs aspect ratio. Jesus, the Star Wars "fan"base is just the worst.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical-Edition/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1346868564&sr=8-17&keywords=star+wars+6+disc

Look for that box. It has six discs, three are for the Special Editions, and three have the Original Theatrical releases. As far as I know, it's the only DVD set to have all three movies.

George, in his typical money-grubbing fashion, decided to stop producing anything with the theatrical releases right before he released the BluRay versions. The sad thing is, that even the BluRays do not have the theatrical releases, even with all of the special features that they loaded on them.

Prick.

This

I think I got it for around $50 at Best Buy, but this was a few years ago.

I purchased the my set of the trilogy on DVD last year. It was new, from one of the sellers on Amazon.

Quick search on amazon shows this, which is the theatrical version:

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical-Edition/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1347293190&sr=8-4&keywords=star+wars+original+trilogy

(check out the top review for clarification on that fact)

You don't have to spend quite that much though, I'm pretty sure. I paid a little over $100 for mine last year, so probably you could get a lower price with a little more searching.

Yes. A few years ago Lucas released a widescreen limited edition with updated graphics for all of the rereleases. Blarg. The hidden gem that wasnt all that advertised was a second disc in each dvd case that has the original theatrical release with no additions. They are brilliant. They are the only versions that I watch now. They are well worth whatever the cost if you can find them.

As an edit aside, the only downside is that the original versions are all 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Still better than anything else that has been released.

Here is a link to the boxed set, but apparently you can find the individual discs for cheaper occasionally.

Awesome. I pay $30/month. Which is kinda lame, but they're 24 hour so it suits my fucked up schedule a little better than any of the other options.

If you ever get into lifting, send me your address. I'll send you a copy of this DVD.

Lou Schuler has a youtube channel with some form videos, but not a lot of useful cues, so I didn't find those particularly illuminating. Starting Strength, the book, has a lot of awesome discussion of body mechanics and proper form for the main exercises, which I would be most worried about for getting proper form; if you're more of a visual learner, there's a dvd that goes with it. And here's a youtube playlist for some of the most common exercises. Most of these people are well respected fitness professionals, with blogs and youtube channels that are worth following.

For form, I also wouldn't worry too much about some of the smaller, isolation exercises. Do your best to follow the directions in the book. Make sure you do a good job on the compound movements though, especially as you up your weight.

Deadlifts:

1] You look really loose at the start of each rep. The one thing I can think of that might help your back position is at the start of each rep to really squeeze through your chest. Rippetoe gives a fairly good explanation of this:

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x8f-dwyJsI
  
  If you enjoy that video and haven't already, grab a copy of Rippetoe's DVD which this is stolen from. It's fantastic and has a couple really hot girls in it. Which is a metric for the quality of every product from a man's point of view:
  
  
• http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c
  
  Squats:
  
  1] On those reps (especially the third) it looked like you were leaning too far forward, which was causing you to not balance correctly. Also, your knees buckled in a bit as a result (or maybe that caused it). I'm not sure what the proper solution is but if I were in your shoes I'd try getting my butt out more, really focusing on maintaining a natural arch in my back and spreading my knees out as I squat.
  
  That being said, the camera angle might skew the accuracy of my assessment.
  
  2] Definitely not deep enough. I have a mate who squats exactly like you. He complains that deep squats hurt his knees yet every time he focuses on spreading his knees out rather than moving them forward and back he gets to parallel without hassles. Plus I don't call him names.
  
  3] On your final 2 reps, you'll notice your butt starts to rise before your chest/shoulders. This is bad as it causes some pretty unworkable angles in your back that can really fuck you out of a heavy set. I can't really give any sound advice on fixing this but being aware of it will hopefully help you fix it.
  

First off, welcome! :)

There is already a ton of good info in the links, and other's posts, but I want to emphasize, as you've mentioned:

Starting Strength, the book, and Starting Strength, the DVD.

The book does a better job than any other program I've seen in explaining exactly what to do, and how to do it. The DVD shows you what good form looks like.

Sure, you can get both from links and YouTube, but as far as I'm concerned, this is some of the best possible money spent, in terms of return on investment. You'll get a good beginner's program, and you'll see exactly what the motions are you need to do.

A good trainer is a big plus, no doubt. The problem is finding a good trainer, and not one that will just try and push hard for you to do a 30-minute circuit and call it a day. And this really is a problem. It took me months upon months to finally find the guys I wanted to train with. The amount of bull pushed in the fitness world is astounding.

My advice for supplements (beyond a basic multi, fish oil, & D) is simple: For your first year of training, ignore them.

First comes form, technique, and newbie gains. That will fill out an entire year. There's enough to learn that you won't get bored. Honest. :)

Eat however you enjoy most that gets you the daily calories/macros you need. Timing details are when you're searching for the last half a percent of gain. Right now is not the time for that. Right now is time to bask in your newbgains and nail down the basics, because the rapid progress a beginner makes is an awesome feeling!

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wiki

There's also a book and movie to accompany this wiki-

http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-3rd-Mark-Rippetoe/dp/0982522738/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345235556&sr=8-1&keywords=starting+strength

http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2

If you can spare $20, http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/0982522738/ is essential reading. There's also a companion DVD at http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2/ but YouTube videos work nearly as well.

I got a great deal on Amazon. I love them, although the physical DVD boxset looks better than the normal plastic case the BluRays come in.
https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Extended-Editions/dp/B0026L7H20

To put it simply, yes. The blu-ray trilogy extended version is only $50 bucks from amazon.com.

edit: here's the link. I own it myself, great investment. It also has the most bonus features/footage out of any of the releases.

... Why is the Blu-ray set cheaper?

I picked up the LOTR Extended Editions Blu Ray for $57 from Amazon. 15 discs with 26 hours of special features should occupy me pretty well over the winter break.

Sorry, here they are

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0026L7H20?pc_redir=1410062889&robot_redir=1 it's $70 with Amazon Prime plus you get plenty of extra features, according to the reviews. I always go for the cheapest options since blu ray movies have the same quality unless they have been specially treated.

No release date on Amazon, but it's priced at $83.99. Link I wonder how long that is going to last. If you pre-order it now they'll give you whatever the cheapest price is from when you pre-order to the day it comes out which is pretty sweet. I hate how they tease us like this though!

dees juan

Nope, these are like 70-80 bucks. If you do fling the blu-ray box set for 20 dollars you should be buying them up and selling at 40 online.


http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0026L7H20/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1347989933&sr=8-3

I need me some Star Wars... May the force be with you!

Does he have a bluray player? The only set that contains all 6 movies is the recently released bluray set:
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Complete-Episodes-Blu-ray/dp/B003ZSJ212/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1323731301&sr=8-3

They're all still available on DVD, but you'd have to buy them separately if you want them new and don't want to spend way too much. Don't know how much you're looking to spend, but the bluray set is packed with features and you can find a decent BR player these days for like 50 bucks. Good luck!

Just so you guys know...

All 12 of Andy Sedaris's films are available on Amazon for the low, low price of $6.99.

That's awesome - I have Girls, Guns and G-Strings, a compilation of 12 of Andy Sidaris' movies.

If you haven't seen Hard Ticket to Hawaii, do yourself a favor and find a copy immediately - it's gold.

You can get 12 of his movies for next to nothing on this dvd set (http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Guns-G-Strings-Sidaris-Collection/dp/B004HHX9OQ) It is really worth it!

http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Guns-G-Strings-Sidaris-Collection/dp/B004HHX9OQ/

for the lazy =}

HARD TICKET TO HAWAII is one of the of the greatest 80s exploitation films. The razorblade frisbee is fucking brilliant.

Andy Sidaris made a ton of films in the same vein, like GUNS with Erik Estrada and Danny Trejo and my personal favorite, SEVEN with William Smith.

You should all pick up his boxset on Amazon – 12 classic B-Movies for less than $6! You can't beat that.

I know I sound like a pitchman, but I just love this guys' films.

Kinda embarassing, I got this 12 film Andy Sedaris collection on DVD. ($6 on Amazon, baby!)

At the moment, I believe this is the best (and cheapest!) collector's set. The American box set only has the movie disks, no bonus disks.

WTF is this?! Why can't I find this anywhere? Best I can find is this.

I see the Tesco link above, but is there a US version of this?

The full collection on Blu-Ray is only $39.96 on Amazon right now (sadly not 4K).

Link without someones referral code.
https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Complete-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B005OCFHHK/

Even on blu-ray, the extended edition version of the films are are 2 discs. I don't think I've ever seen an extended edition on 1 disc.

The full trilogy with everything (included appendices) is on sale right now for $53.

BTW lotr extended blu-ray set is $28 on Amazon today, lowest price ever

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZQAKHU

Yeah, it’s on a huge sale for $50 right now. We had Amazon points saved which brought it down to $20 in the end. Still, this is a $120 set so I’d definitely snag it!

Here’s a link: The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (The Fellowship of the Ring / The Two Towers / The Return of the King Extended Editions) [Blu-ray] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZQAKHU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_tLnaBbJS9C4AZ

Am thinking about getting extended editions.
What is the difference of the link you posted and this link?

Price history here. As you can see, the $119.98 price they are showing in the strikethrough on the page is the highest the product has ever been listen on Amazon, which was all the way back in July 2012. It has spiked up a little bit since then but it has spent a lot of time at cheaper prices. Worth mentioning that the current price is the lowest price ever.

So the Amazon page is actually comparing the highest price ever to the lowest price ever

Nevermind, I thought OP linked the regular version.

This seems to be amazon's lowest price and what I bought it at last year.

Just FYI, it's over 50% off on Amazon right now.

Well this is interesting.

On my main list it is a gift card, but underneath that is an XBox 360 carrying case I need it because I take my xbox around a lot and only have an old gymbag to throw it in.

On my health list is Kettle Bells I used to use them at the gym a lot and really liked them, would like a set of my own someday

On my movie list is Thor: The Dark World because I love comics and the movie was fucking awesome. Plus, Chris Hemsworth is pretty much the only dude I would go gay for.

On my "Wishful Thinking" list is Marvel Phase One blu-ray collection because god dammit I love Marvel movies

And on the stuff for my kids list I do not have a highest priority item. Its just loaded with kids movies and crayons. They aren't all choosy like I am :p

SO.. what's the super secret contest?

The cube looks like the one that came with the avengers phase one set.

Looks like the Marvel Phase 1 Briefcase.

Just buy em, man, you won't regret it.

There are "Phase" packages for One and Two

One: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Assembled-Incredible/dp/B0083SBMGW
Two: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Guardians-Exclusive/dp/B00Z7EMJ4E

I don't know how these compare to just buying them but I don't see a reason not to.

For anyone wondering how much this costs, (Trailers like this conveniently leave out the price) it's $219.00 "list price" and 139 on Amazon.

Did you do that on purpose? Because it certainly seemed like it.

On another note, I just ordered this sucker.

I know this is definitely on my list! A collection of the movies from the first Iron Man(2008) up to the Avengers!(2012) Marvel Cinematic Universe:Phase One

Snow, snow, go away

I loved the movie so much :) I thought it was absolutely adorable and sing to it all the time. The music is really good ((I love musicals))

Zambambo

I didn't know there was other products

Frozen because I haven't seen it yet and that's a sin.

Also, original Star Wars because I haven't seen them yet and that's an even bigger sin. ^^Shh

/u/theatre_kiddo isn't looking forward to her last semester of college

I think the only DVD on my list is [Frozen] (http://www.amazon.com/Frozen-Two-Disc-Blu-ray-Digital-Copy/dp/B00G5G7K7O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1395604253&sr=8-2&keywords=frozen) but if I add any other DVD's in the meantime, surprise me!

I love movies because...

They are such a great way to escape. I don't often have the time to devote to sitting down and watching a movie so these days it is a real treat. I really want [Frozen] (http://www.amazon.com/Frozen-Two-Disc-Blu-ray-Digital-Copy/dp/B00G5G7K7O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1PRII2BIRNFS3&coliid=I2XGTWOY0IKDRY) for my girls. They haven't seen it yet. I have heard so many good things about it that and am planning a special party for it when it comes out. We have movie picnics where I spread a blanket on the floor and we have snacks and watch the movie together. Fun times. The second movie I have on my list is [The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug] (http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1PRII2BIRNFS3/ref=cm_wl_sb_o?reveal=unpurchased&filter=all&sort=date-added&layout=standard&x=15&y=12) which is also not out yet and is one I also haven't seen. My husband and I looove Tolkien. All our kids have two middle names and they all have one name inspired by Tolkien. One of my son's middle names is Thorin!

Yay Movies! I would totally love to own Frozen so I can watch it with my daughter. She loves princesses and she hasn't seen this yet.

This is my all time favorite Disney movie!

I love the scene when Olaf gets impaled and says..... "oh look, i've been impaled. Hehah"
also when he says, "Hi! my name's Olaf and I like warm hugs!"
Olaf is my favorite part of that movie.
well, that and the fact that
**** SPOILER ALERT!!!! STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT!!!!

When anna saves elsa instead of going for the usual disney ending of true loves kiss. I was so happy when they portrayed the act of true love as her saving her sister. It was so touching and heart warming.
It made me think about why I joined the army and how my love for my own sister and other family was a big part of my reason to join. it was great.
My favorite song is hakunnah matata. it helps me destress. sometimes i catch myself saying it around annoying people at home and work.

I have never bought an anime before, so I have a question: I'm planing to buy Steinsgate: Complete Series Classic, but does this come with Japanese voice acting with English sub as well as dubbing? Also, does anyone know where I can get the movie version that doesn't cost like $70?

English is not my primary language so sorry for the grammars. And thanks!

Yep, and i can't wait for complete release of Steins;Gate next month =P

https://www.amazon.com/Steins-Gate-Complete-Classic-Blu-ray/dp/B00KU3Y5CG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494640098&sr=8-1&keywords=steins+gate+blu+ray

Link.

At 32 dollars for the combined Blu-ray/DVD set, not too bad, huh?

I'm really late replying but I hope still useful! I looked at the series you mentioned your giftee liking and used my knowledge of anime to go on Amazon and pick out 10 other series or movies they might also like, along with why I think these might be a good option. Your person seems to really like edgy and highly dramatic pieces with a scifi or fantasy flair. That's been my favorite for 15 years! A lot of these are a bit older; I am taking the gamble that with as many newer pieces listed, your person hasn't watched a lot of backlog, and therefore may have missed some really good shit.

Ghost in the Shell is a cyberpunk classic. Older, yes, but for anyone who likes drama and scifi, this is a good choice. It focuses on a classic mind experiment: if you can move your brain freely among cybernetic parts and bodies, what is really "you"?

Steins;Gate is what instantly springs to mind for someone who also likes Psycho Pass. And I mean instantly. Fans of one almost invariably love the other. A tightly-plotted time travel thriller.

Revolutionary Girl Utena is a bit older, often controversial, and an absolute work of art. There's a strong chance your giftee is a girl based on the other series they like, but even if not, Utena is still a solid choice. Just be careful on this; sending it to a conservative person could backfire badly. I rather doubt that is the case with Attack on Titan and Shiki, but just to be safe. It's strange and beautiful...and stylish beyond all doubt.

Black Lagoon is anime's answer to a Hollywood big budget action movie. Comedic, violent, and unforgettable, it deserves a far wider audience than it's had. Almost every anime fan I know who's seen it has loved it.

Akira is without a doubt one of the most famous anime movies to ever be created. Animated without CG in the 1980s, the quality of its hand-drawn special effects has yet to be equalled by almost any other production to this day. For someone used to today's slick computer assisted animation, it's still mindblowing. Akira is often credited with being just as important as Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon in starting the anime boom of the 1990s, and this is a very nice edition.

Also in the classic scifi category we have Serial Experiments Lain, a show whose points on technology and the internet and the singularity still ring true today. Moody and thought-provoking with masterful use of color and a fantastic soundtrack.

Literally no adult-targeted anime is as famous and well-beloved as Cowboy Bebop. This space western with the jazz soundtrack is a perennial favorite on Cartoon Network Adult Swim, is often suspected as a major influence behind Firefly, and is one of the most popular anime in the US of all time... And it's hitting bluray this month.

Summer Wars should probably come with a bluray device as a tech test. It's that beautiful. A tale of virtual reality and the family and friends behind the characters, Summer Wars is an unforgettable movie which, despite being intensely Japanese, deserves a slot on any videophile's shelf.

My total wildcard pick is Mushishi. Beautiful and dream-like, like a series of 25 minute oases from ordinary life. If this is in fact a slice of life, these timeless Japanese almost fairy tales are like no life you've seen. Some call it slow and overhyped. I call it perfection. At any rate, this isn't at all what I'd get as an only gift; it's more a wildcard filler for a $20 other series. If you want my actual top pick.....

Baccano! is my final and top pick. It's really hard to go wrong with this. This rollicking action anime about immortal Prohibition-era Mafiosi in the United States is one of the best and most underrated anime of all time. Humor, violent action, mystery, drama, good characters, good animation, good music... It has them all. It's chronically overshadowed by its more popular sister series Durarara, and that makes me sad. But Durarara isn't easily available outside streaming, and this glorious madcap piece of anime is. Plus it has at least one theme in common with everything your person listed liking. You know what to do.

it's dubbed, and dubbed really well (though you can watch it in the original japanese w/english subtitles). the first 3 or 4 episodes are kinda slow, but it really picks up after that. like i said, i don't find (most) anime appealing, but cowboy bebop is one of my favorite things ever.

you can pick up the complete series on blu-ray for 30$.

In general, RightStuf has some nice deals, or you could try Amazon.

More specifically, here's Bebop for $30. Can't find Blu-Rays of Gankutsuou, but here's a DVD set. Summer Wars is here. Try this for Black Lagoon, but there's also a collector's edition here. Evangelion 2.22 here. Haruhi here, but as a pre-order and at an absurd price.

I can only find Madoka, Perfect Blue, Baccano, Code Geass, and Fate/Zero at prices you probably don't want to pay.

Desktop link for the lazy.

Hey everyone! If you love the show please check out /r/cowboybebop and join us in the conversation. We're constantly discovering new things about this amazing anime.

And if you're not aware, a blu ray version of the show was recently released. The perfect Christmas present for the Cowboy Bebop fan in your life.

Is there a difference between that edition and this one? :https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NP06DJE/ref=s9_simh_hd_bw_b3AOIXj_p74_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-20&pf_rd_r=P12JXYY780VT5EWQQNGG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=90696f85-fa1e-5a83-bff8-029d2882c605&pf_rd_i=2901953011

I know there's a Blu-ray set exclusive to Amazon, but there's also a single-case, multi-disc DVD set.

Based on the movies inside (and the drawing on the exterior), that seems to be the Hayao Miyazaki Directed Works Collection (or, in Japanese, 宮崎駿監督作品集). You could use google translate on the description in the amazon.jp entry for it or the page for the similar North American release to figure out how to describe it, but it looks like it has a disc for every Miyazaki film from Castle of Cagliostro through to The Wind Arises, with two bonus discs.

I don't know where is best to sell it (I'm not from North America, so I really have no good input here).

It's a touch expensive but you look at the price for buying all 8 of these movies on BluRay individually, and it's cheaper in the long run. I pre-ordered it, but if you're patient you can catch a good deal on it. A few weeks after it came out it was down to $199.

the brainwashing of my dad

available on amazon as well

This sounds eerily familiar to the recent documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad. It is streaming free with Amazon Prime.

A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation.

You may be interested in the documentary on Amazon The Brainwashing of My Dad.

Talks a lot about how Republican media shifted and became so toxic and full of crap resulting in it suckering in a lot of older people who thought they could trust the news. Same outcome in that story that the guy eventually saw through it after being exposed to less biased sources.

For anyone that went looking for where to stream this, it's on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6AFDM6/ref=atv_feed_catalog

I don't know these movie websites don't say that or link to it, ever.

Everyone here who hasn't yet needs to watch The Brainwashing of My Dad. It's free with ads on Amazon.

Link for anyone who is curious.

Show them this documentary. And tell them you miss the people they were before the Rush and Faux News outrage machine got its paws on them.

>Honestly, I'd love to see a documentary about how fox news changed the landscape and the effect it had on its viewership. I remember with my dad how quickly his mentality warped from their fear mongering.


So you want this?

It's on my own 'to watch' list and I don't want to spoil it but I heard it has a happy ending.

This is part of it.

It is a cult. When you can say government provided sources is fake news, the very information we base our entire budget on and make national decisions on.. I'm just at a lost of words.

I'm watching this documentary. It's pretty eye opening, you can watch it for free:

Enjoy your bubble where it's you vs the world and you live in fear outside of generally accepted reality.

Keep being afraid of immigrants! More fear you have, the easier you are to manipulate. Why diversify or supplement your sources? What kind of asshole asks you to do that?

I don't know the statistics, but here's an anecdote from the other day: a college-educated friend of the family (he's a retired military officer) who is in his 70s and watches Fox News daily told my folks that climate change is a hoax. I'm reminded of the following documentary: https://www.amazon.com/Brainwashing-My-Dad-Matthew-Modine/dp/B01C6AFEQG

This doc is appropriate to this conversation.

And they are also not sourced.

Here's all that I can do for you, buy this DVD. The second disc includes the original 1977 theatrical release of the film. Go to chapter 35, time 1:19:49. Hear the clunk of the stormtrooper hitting his head. It's there. I promise you.

I remember back in '95 when I first read a list of Star Wars Easter eggs. I immediately put my tape into my VCR and saw and heard the goof myself for the first time. This was pre-Special Editions. I can only give you my word on this, unless you want to come over and watch Star Wars this weekend.

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW

Should be able to find it cheaper, but that's what tolook for

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

I'm surprised more people didn't rush out and get the two disc set that came with the original theatrical versions of the films (Amazon has Episode IV, here. It's just hanging out on DVD, waiting to be watched.

There's also an official DVD release of the originals but it's just a shitty laserdisc transfer, so while it'll probably look better than your VHS copy it'll look worse than most DVDs

remain salty

the original Theatrical versions of Ep. 4, 5 and 6 were released to DVD.

So I'm kind of lost. I own Episodes IV, V, and VI on DVD, and all three came with a second bonus disc that have the original theatrical versions on them. I don't know whether or not they're remastered, but I wouldn't complain about the quality, they're just as good looking as I'd expect from any DVD. Everyone seems to go on about how they can't be purchased except on laserdisc or VHS, but that simply isn't true. I got these at Target maybe three years ago, and they're completely legit. Turned in my old special edition trilogy to a used store and bought all three again to have both versions. Are they somehow different than the originals?

Link to the version I have

I used to be obsessed with getting every version on VHS and DVD that I could. Very happy to have this set on DVD. The unaltered version was a bonus feature.

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW

2006, they have a problem though, lots of digital noise and artifacting in them. Harmy's Despecialized Editions are the best way to watch the original trilogy, with the laserdisc being the 2nd best.

Ummm he released the theatrical editions on DVD ins 2006.....

yeah there is. the 2006 DVD Version has the theatrical cut on the bonus disc.

Nah not the only way

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_vDDwybP220207

Actually he did release the original on dvd. Second disc of the 2 disc versions that came out. (2nd dvd release). Out of print now but were widely available for a few years. This version https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482829395&sr=8-4&keywords=star+wars+dvd

But if you want something to complain about, that version was the laserdisc transfer and nonanamorphic.

The DVDs that look like this: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-IV-Hope-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451895921&sr=8-2&keywords=star+wars+dvd have the original films.

There’s also a LD transfer on DVD!

> The fact you can't get an original cut of the original trilogy on anything newer than VHS just cements my not watching any of it anymore.

False

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

They are highly sought after, and can be very pricey.

It's not impossible, but it's not too cheap either (speaking of DVDs, not VHS or Laser Disc). These editions have both the remastered and the original theatrical versions:

Episode IV

Episode V

Episode VI

The original theatrical version of the trilogy was released on DVD. You have to buy it alongside the god awful "special edition," but it exists.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FQJAIW?cache=06e723b1268ef43b3c9a5737bf4bc250&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1407111532&sr=8-5#ref=mp_s_a_1_5

The 2006 DVD releases have the Theatrical versions and the Special Editions. Each movie is a two-disc set. They tend to be around $50-$75 per movie.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FQJAIW?pc_redir=1398469452&robot_redir=1

If those are out of your price range, look for the digitally remastered trilogy VHS box set.
http://coolwatersprods.com/images/kershVHS.jpg

My DVD sets that I bought around the time episode 3 came out have the original theatrical version included. (I watched them all when I was getting excited for episode VII) the quality was pretty bad but it was definitely the original cut.

Edit: found them on Amazon if anyone is curious. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FQJAIW/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482287254&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=star+wars+dvd&dpPl=1&dpID=51u3YmzYxNL&ref=plSrch

They got them on DVD for pretty cheap on amazon if you go with the used option. About 20 bucks a piece or less.

But rumor has it that Disney is planning to release them on Blu-ray leading up to the debut of episode 7. That's just a rumor though.

NO!! [You can find the "Han shot first" 2-disc sets that have the theatrical release on the bonus disc!] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000FQJAIM/ref=tmm_dvd_used_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=1373222690&sr=8-10)

I'd say the wealth of extra content is easily worth the extra $10 than the standard edition.

http://www.amazon.com/Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Edition-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1330763303&sr=1-1

Just looked on Amazon real quick, I'm sure you can find it else where for cheaper, point being it's out of print so now people are milking it. Blade Runner 5 disc

I'd get this one. It's 3 bluray discs and the extras are on two DVDs.

Sorry, I think you've misunderstood. I was referring to this blu ray http://www.amazon.com/Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Edition-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4 , which includes the superior Final Cut as well as the SUPER SHITTY international version that Scott fucking hates. However, because it was an official release, he allowed them to release it on the same blu ray with the final cut.

Well I found it on Amazon, great movie:
https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Runner-Anniversary-Collectors-Blu-ray/dp/B008M4MB8K

Edit: Also another off Amazon that's currently in stock:
https://www.amazon.com/Runner-Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4

There is a bluray out there with 4 different cuts in one pack. Watch them all. Start with the theatrical release.

http://www.amazon.com/Runner-Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4/ref=ed_oe_blu

The blu ray is stunning, and stunningly cheap for a 5 disc box set.

As mentioned by /u/hereisatoptip , Prometheus, Avatar and LOTR are positively stuffed with goodies. The Alien Anthology and Star Wars complete saga box sets are amazing, although navigating the bonus material in both is a bit of a PITA. The Star Trek 'classic films' box set actually included some great bonus features, even though the remasters of the films themselves left a bit to be desired. Also, the Blade Runner five-disc Collector's Edition has pretty much everything a BR fanatic could want, including the original workprint and the tremendous 'Strange Days' documentary.

*Blade Runner http://www.amazon.com/Five-Disc-Complete-Collectors-Edition-Blu-ray/dp/B000UBMWG4/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1367857985&sr=8-9&keywords=Blade+runner

The character Rachel from Blade Runner played by Sean Young.

Movie = Blade Runner

Book = One Hundred Years of Solitude

Found it. It's called the Alien Anthology, not Alien Quadrilogy. That's why it was eluding searches. Since it's Blu-Ray, it doesn't need so many extra discs, so it's just a 6 disc set rather than 9.

They talk about that scene, and how apparently 1 of them had to get cuticle repair after their fingers were jabbed during a reshoot of the scene, and how Bishop's actor barely got through the English version of TSA with the knives in his suitcase, etc.

On top of that, this film looks quite good in Blu Ray. And it has the 1990 special edition, which is good, as I consider that version superior to the 1986 theatrical release (I like that the deleted scene makes the leading character in Alien: Isolation canon, for one thing). And a few versions of the soundtrack.

I specifically picked a Blu Ray set which didn't have Prometheus / Covenant as I have zero interest in those films. Plus the version I got is half the price and has more special content than the more expensive version.

The 4 film version has all the same special content as the 9 disk DVD version but in Blu Ray disks, so better resolution. The 6 disk version is twice the price of the normal 4 disk version which lacks some special features. At $15 vs $30, I think the $15 is worth it since I buy movies for special content anyway.

Version with prometheus / covenant:

I am dying to see this franchise! Cheers


Shiiiit son, that's $25, never you mind. Here's something within the boundaries http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Private-Sapphire-Series-Blu-ray/dp/B003LL3N1I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413756996&sr=8-1&keywords=saving+private+ryan+blu+ray

Same price on Amazon, get it there instead.

also forgive me if this isn't the right place for this or if this has already been posted but I saw that the Alien Blu-ray anthology dropped down to $49.99 on amazon

Alien Anthology - https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Anthology-Aliens-Resurrection-Blu-ray/dp/B001AQO3QA

Thats the list price (the price it was launched at). It normally goes for $32 these days. Its back up to $33.90 now

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AQO3QA

The usual price is just an estimation so it is never 100% correct. It just gives you an idea how good a sale it is

Get the super-fancy Blu-Ray, i'ts AMAZING.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AQO3QA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

Oh, does this release have the original theatrical versions? I might pick it up, then, although it sounds like it's letterboxed into a 4:3 ratio by the comments? Annoying, but probably less annoying than End of Evangelion being letterboxed into 4:3.

Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_n4hFDb9SQDCZ5

You would have to buy it. This DVD set is the one to get

I have it, excellent set. It comes with both the original editions, and the 2008 updates.

You can still buy them. They were only released within the last few years or so, I think. It comes with two DVDs for each movie - the revised versions, and the theatrical versions (unaltered.)

This is it. I'm sure you can find it cheaper, somewhere. I got mine at Barnes & Noble for around $40-50

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1341770346&sr=1-1&keywords=star+wars+unaltered

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Harrison-Ford/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289809683&sr=8-1

The 2008 DVD release has the original theatrical releases in the set.

Currently it's on Amazon for $270.

It's available - if you don't mind buying used.

He re-released the laserdisc versions on DVD:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EN71DG/ref=s9_al_bw_g74_i6?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-6&pf_rd_r=1BZ5R6ZGDJ0GSP3N0KMD&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1779775202&pf_rd_i=281446

Don't ask me about the price. They used to run around $50 when in production.

> He went back to the original trilogy and "special editioned" them and made those the only ones available on DVD and Bluray

To be fair they did release this edition on DVD (it's a laserdisk rip IIRC): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EN71DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (I bought it in 2009 for 22 bucks )

That sucks about your testosterone levels. If you're having hormonal issues, that is probably the root of all your problems. Though, you didn't much about what you tried to do in terms of diet and exercise, and being that you're only 17 years old, I presume you aren't all that knowledgeable about fitness yet (at least I sure as hell didn't when I was your age).

First thing to do is calculate how many calories you need to eat to gain weight. Go to iifym.com and plug in your body stats into the iifym calculator and you'll get the numbers and macros for what you want.

Then get a calorie tracker, like myfitnesspal, and make sure you hit your calories and the macros. This is important obviously because it will help you reach your fitness goals, but also because a simple thing like eating enough calories and fat/carb/protein is pretty damn rewarding when you're in such a low place; every small thing you accomplish will seem like a big victory.

The next big step you need to do is get on a strength program like Starting Strength (SS wikia) or any program that incorporates compound lifts, I say SS because I personally know they teach you how to do the moves. I recommend just buying the DVD from amazon for $22.46 (maybe try the Amazon Prime 30 day trial and get it in 2 days). The DVD has videos of how to do the moves properly with instruction from Sensei Rip himself.

The point here is that it's all planned out for you, all you have to do is go to the gym (get access to a squat rack if you don't already) and learn how to do the moves, and do it on the day they tell you to. Personally, I trained this with a buddy who had this program years back, and after adopting the deadlift into my later workouts, I gained 5lbs (150lbs->155lbs) in about 2 months doing it 3 times a week and I wasn't even dieting properly, I was just a bro here pls sho mercy. Those compound movements are no joke, they recruit a shitload of muscles and when you increase the weight you only get bigger, which is why so many people speak so highly of them.

If no one has a solid solution, give it a try, if you already did, then props to you for knowing how to diet and lift at 17 years old (srs, all I did when I was your age was bicep curls lulz). These are, of course, external physical/mental solutions; when it comes to hormones that's an internal chemical and physiological issue which can be more complicated than we think.

Actually, those aren't it. Those are just random clips from seminars he does.

He actually has a DVD, which you can buy here.

http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Basic-Barbell-Training/dp/B001U9FDP2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323100728&sr=8-1

This already exists.

Good form is insanely important so that you can improve and not hurt yourself. I've been deloading every once and a while on certain lifts when I feel my form hasn't been spot on to improve my technique.

Have you checked out the Starting Strength DVD?

that is the one that i have even though i'm pretty sure the blu-ray-box contains the same bonus material.. i might buy this one as well soon

Hell yes!

It has like 9 discs of special features, so I sprung for all the documentaries

https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Extended-Editions/dp/B0026L7H20

Sorry I'm late, but I have this boxset, and I love it. Theres hours and hours of behind the scenes and extra footage, and the movies themselves are amazing. Totally worth the money

This is getting out of hand considering this was just released 2 years ago. I think at this point, 10 years after the final movie in the trilogy was released, they shouldn't give a slap in the face to the true fans that try to support the franchise by buying everything only to have another $100 version come out 2 years later.

Does she have a Blu-Ray player? If so, the generic extended edition trilogy on Amazon is perfect as-is, and isn't ridiculously expensive.

Enjoy!

The awesomeness of Star Wars is widely known. What isn't known, is that George Lucas is really a group of German penguins in disguise. Through their buddies at the local zoos, they made a man suit and waddle around pretending to be human while creating the movies they want to see. Ich liebe Pinguine!

OK, that's what I thought. That blu-ray set (the blue cover with Darth Vader's head on it) does NOT include the original, unaltered versions of the films. That's why it's so much cheaper.

It seems that the versions that include the unaltered films are all pretty expensive now -- Lucas probably won't re-release them :(

I strongly suggest seeing if you can RENT the unaltered versions, or borrow from someone who owns them, or download them. Or spring for the expensive set.

At the bottom of the main description on this Amazon page, you will see a list of all the released versions of the movies and which ones contained the original theatrical versions.

Good luck!

Man, I haven't seen Star Wars in forever, but that CGI is terrible. Is this CGI in the newest, blu-ray re-releases of the series? This one

I bought this a few months back. No regrets.

go to amazon.com and find the entire blue ray disc.. then proceed to read the 1 star ratings on the bundle. I have never really been into star wars and was waiting for the entire thing to be released before I watch it (so I can go from start to end).. Guess I'll just wait that much longer till it's released "correct". and im 30, so I didnt grow up in the star wars era.. I was more of a trekkie :P

The Best $5 I've ever spent.

You can pick up the entire Andy Sedaris Collection on DVD for 5.89 on Amazon. That's 50 cents a movie. Everyone should own this...

You forgot nearly every movie in the complete Andy Sidaris catalogue, pretty much the industry luminary for boring jet ski and RC action scenes

For your viewing pleasure, the jet ski chase scene from the 1998 classic "The Return To Savage Beach"

Do or Die by Andy Sidaris.

I've just gotten into his stuff and as a lover of B-movies he is the epitome of the stereotypical 80's movie. Long hair, unnecessary sex scenes, cheesy lines, over-the-top action.

Not my favorite of his I've watched I'd say it goes
Malibu Express>Dallas Connection>Hard Ticket to Hawaii>Do or Die>Picasso Trigger

For those interested this set is an incredible deal for $4 for 12 movies.
http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Guns-G-Strings-Sidaris-Collection/dp/B004HHX9OQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369077074&sr=8-1&keywords=andy+sidaris

I don't even need to click the link. I know from the thumnail exactly what this is.

Hard Ticket To Hawaii.

And it's not alone in its batshit bonkers style. Filmmaker is Andy Sidaris, and he is responsible for this along with Malibu Express, Fit To Kill, and more. I highly recommend you spend all of $6 and buy this 12 movie collection of his work. It's the same as this previous collection I'm not really sure what the difference is between the two.

Do yourself and humanity a favor. Buy that collection of trash, grab a couple 12 packs, kidnap some friends, and start watching these.

If you binge watched them you could get them done in as little as two days. As a 16 year old during summer, I've done it. Also there are 8 movies, the last book was split into 2.

Movies on Amazon if you're interested.

Books

The books take significantly longer to finish obviously.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I've read and watched the whole series 10 times.

US release

I'm not sure that this has all the special features though.

Oh, if only there were some way to purchase these movies and keep them forever, without depending on Netflix to renew streaming rights.

I have this one. It's got some bonus features and content and it's a decent price.

Best option?

A blu-ray player

Amazon had a deal on this on cyber Monday for $99, so I pounced. I had been waiting awhile to get a box set because I wanted a Blu-Ray one, but I didn't want that $700 one with all that other crap, and I didn't want the $39 one without any special features.
I almost missed this one because when I read the comments and reviews, they all said "No special editions" so I dismissed it. Then I found they had lumped the reviews for the $39 one in with this sale item, and then took the plunge.

You can still purchase this particular box for $150 on Amazon, but if you're curious what it looks like or includes, check the album. Enjoy!

Me time.

My SO and I would first, go to the dog park together. Protect the car seats and make sure to bring the tennis ball launcher to tire out both pups. Also, here are the tennis balls.

Light this delicious, romantic Woodwick candle. Mood lighting/smells.

Make some homemade pizzas. From scratch, using ingredients out of these canisters and you have to make the pizza together. Sharing rolling and flouring duties. Possibly throw flower. Music should be playing in background, like this Momford & Sons album. Perhaps we'd even bake cookies together.

While pizza is baking, bust out Scrabble or Twister, whichever fits your style. Include drinks.

After getting significantly tipsy, watch movies together, Possibly a few Harry Potter movies.

Read books together. I'd read this new one by J.K. Rowling. Go to bed really late after doing some "adult things" together. Sleep on these warm sheets.

Thanks for the contest. I'm actually single, but this is a future, a-girl-can-dram plan for myself. ;)

I'm pretty sure this is the only one that has bluray other than the 32 disc boxset.

You can actually get them MUCH cheaper here

Harry Potter: Complete 8-Film Collection [Blu-ray] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OCFHHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_H2.3DbYCVEY6V

Honestly I think they are cheaper on Amazon than they have been in a while. When I first started thinking about upgrading my old dvds to blurays, I couldn't find a set below $80. I bought them recently on Amazon UK for about $45. They are region-free, so they should work in any bluray player and shipping to the US was only a couple extra bucks. Took a couple weeks to get to me though. Good luck on your search!

I nominate my mom! She loves watching movies with our family and since she's never seen any of the Harry Potter films, I figure this would be a good gift for her, and by extension, my entire family :) My mom is SUPER because she sacrificed her dreams of being a lawyer to be a stay at home mom and care for me and my siblings. I don't think she truly knows how much we appreciate her always being there for us.

Edit: And if that's too expensive, I know she'd like this or that.

Harry Potter, the complete set! Oh my goodness!

Tickle his pickle is bad advice because it often leads to a craving for pickles, even if you never liked pickles in the first place!

Goes on sale occasionally. I got it for $35 earliest this year.

Why not buy the Bluray set for $28

Like others said, Amazon, but if you don't want to pay full price, I suggest tracking it with CamelCamelCamel.

One of the greatest movie franchises in existence. I have the extended edition box set and it's super nice.

Bruh.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZQAKHU/

I got it for $27 at the time, new. ;)

Must have. Which is why I am so sad and frustrated for losing part 2 of RotK. I'd been rewatching one part a night and tonight I was supposed to finish... :(

Hey, do you think you could link me? Is this what I'm looking for? Is that the right set for the extended edition?

If you're gonna spend 50 dongs on Lotr, at least get the ridiculously extended edition with boat loads of extra stuff that is almost hard to watch in its thorough nature.

I don't know why it has a fairly low review score, but it's probably something to do with Amazon's stupid practice of combining every related product into one review.

Does anyone know the difference between these two sets?
This one is more expensive

But if you don't care about 4k, here it is on Amazon. Will probably go on sale for about $50 during Black Friday next month, though.

They're on sale for $28USD right now
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZQAKHU/ref=DVD_FB

I have the Extended Edition DVD's of each and just got the Extended Edition Blu-rays.

Yes, the movies themselves are blu ray quality. You really get to see the Gandalf's pores and each strand of Eowyn's hair. :-) It does make the landscapes look prettier.
It comes with the same appendices, but they are on DVD rather than Blu-Ray. Those discs won't look any better. It also comes with an additional "Behind the Scenes" DVD for each movie which appears to have a lot of the footage used to make the appendices, but also some new material.

If you're going to get your own set, I'd recommend
this edition.

Less than $60 for Blu Ray (well worth it, an incredible difference!), extended editions, and all the appendices. Can't recommend more highly.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Extended/dp/B007ZQAKHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373989826&sr=8-1&keywords=lord+of+the+rings+blu+ray+extended

No, there are special extended version dvds. They sell both versions. Here is the Theatrical Blu-ray. Here is the Extended Blu-ray (notice it says extended edition)

I think only once released both cuts on the same disc, but the norm is each has its own version.

Not OP, but here you go:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007ZQAKHU/ref=tmm_blu_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1563219618&sr=8-2-spons

Apparently this is not the real "Extended edition" as noted by half of all the reviews that gave it 1 star which is borderline false advertising:

> This is not the extended editions with complete footage, these are the "as seen in theaters" cuts. Wait for the real product to be released.

I thought it was just a one day deal on Amazon, but it looks like you can still get it for $120.

Here is the link, if you want to buy it. I have the collection and it's pretty awesome. Expensive, but awesome.

i'm saving up for the marvel cinematic universe: phase one blu-ray set! i want it because i adore marvel comics and the movies make me extremely happy, and help me escape from the rest of the world for a bit! have a fabulous evening! :)

I am on the fence whether to buy them like this or buy this instead

http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Assembled-Collectors/dp/B0083SBMGW

Can we say giftcards? Because I want to save up and buy this. If not, just choose what you want.

Girlsplaywow is a jerk

Can I also say, I really miss playing WoW. :( I played from BC to just before MoP was released.

You can get the Phase one collectors set, which has all of Phase 1 MCU in it.

I'd assume they're planning a Phase 2 one also.

Just an FYI, this is not the Phase 3 Box Set by Amazon.

This is by Zavvi and it's different, EU Market.

Previous Box Sets by Amazon:

Phase 1: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Assembled-Incredible/dp/B0083SBMGW

Phase 2: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Guardians-Exclusive/dp/B00Z7EMJ4E

Right now you can find that set new or used on Amazon for an exorbitant amount of money, with your link sold out these are hard to find. You can also find a Phase 2 set on Amazon for a decent amount. But to your question, I can see a Phase 3 set or a Marvel First 10 years set but I can see that First 10 year set running a grand easily. I can see a Phase 3 set running around $250 and the overall set running $500-$600 depending on the extras. I expect the case, like Phase One being the Tesseract briefcase and Phase Two being the Orb, being the Infinity Gauntlet. Just my thoughts anyway. I'm sure if Disney thinks they can make money on it they'll put it out. Though we probably won't hear anything about that till closer to the release of Avengers 4.

Hard to tell since the Bluray is not out.. but I would assume i would enjoy the movie.. that leaves 3 other discs of content. I can also assume i would enjoy the HD Free Digital download...

The digital download soundtrack would be nice on my Ipod, i would enjoy that.

I may even buy

1. I have many that I love. But I think my favorite has to be The Lion King. It's such a beautiful movie, it's deeply emotional, the music is gorgeous, lots of funny characters (cmon, Timon and Pumba? The best.) and the animations is really incredible. I had a nala costume when I was in Kindergarten that I used to run around in all the time, I wanted to be a lion after I saw that movie.

   I live in CA so my favorite memory in Disneyland would have to be the first time I rode Peter Pan's Magic Flight. I was 6 years old and I thought that I was actually flying through the stars, it felt like the most amazing thing ever at the time.

/u/CelticMara just woke up.

/u/TheRubyRedPirate is curious about boob science.

Frozen, but if you would rather pick, surprises are fun, too!

> And when it is available it will be $35.

Not in this case.

I'm not sure why their older DVDs, not even Blu-Rays, are so expensive. It's like they don't want people to buy it.

The guy in this gif was homeless but still entertained people for no reason. I can't not smile when I watch it.

If possible, I'd like a copy of Frozen

very rough , but a little...the one on amazon.jp at the moment is an english one i think .

If it's this one then you get both a DVD and a bluray and a digital one.

Actually looks like they readjusted the prices on Frozen and the Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Maybe that is because I already ordered them at $13?

wait...people actually downvote contests? I was always surprised to hear about anyone downvoting anything here -__- /u/purebredginger needs to get in here, I don't know nearly as much about cat stuff.

-cats: this shirt has to do with cats. *price: $22.50

-golden girls: bea Arthur on broadway. price: $12.29

-Disney: frozen because I heard it was amazing. price: $22.96

Limited shelf life applies with media as well though. There's a limited window in which a product will sell for it's maximum price, after which many people will no longer expect to pay the full price. Unless you argue that a copy of The Princess Bride (1987) should cost the same today as a copy of Frozen (2014). ('All you can consume' subscription services do not apply here as the individual performance cost paid to the licencer is amortized for the consumer across all subscriptions and viewings by the licencee/provider, i.e. Netflix)

List price for Frozen is $45. In a couple months the price will go up at least at physical retailers. I think I paid $40 for Brave when I picked it up a couple weeks ago.

• Done!
  
• I am A-okay with that.
  
• I totally understand.
  
• Frozen themed item on Amazon.
  
• I want to see Frozen because it looks like a great family movie. There are 7 of us in our family, we really wanted to see it in theaters but it's pretty expensive to take all 7 of us.
  
  Zambambo!

For any of you who don't know already they are getting ready to come out with the dvd/blueray box for the whole season.

http://www.amazon.com/Steinsgate-Complete-Series-Classic-Blu-ray/dp/B00KU3Y5CG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410629684&sr=8-1&keywords=steins+gate

Does 360 support youtube? You can watch it all on FUNimation's official youtube channel. They also have the first 4 episodes of the dub on youtube, if you prefer that.
That said, it's not HD, and the recommended subs are not the official ones. WhyNotSubs are usually what this sub recommends, which you'd have to find a way to acquire yourself (I do not believe this sub can publicly condone piracy). That said, if you do download it, I'd recommend purchasing the anime as well. $30 on amazon for 12 hours of anime is not a bad deal by any means, especially for a top anime like Steins;Gate.

You could just buy the dvds, and play those from your xbox, if you'd prefer that.

Rats, if you're convinced you'll love it, the Blu Ray/DVD set is pretty cheap. I own it myself and it's definitely worth 30 USD to me.

Think it went down in price

This is coming to Amazon and I'm really excited.

I love steins gate but why not buy the FULL SERIES for $25 on bluray with dubs in the classic edition instead - https://www.amazon.com/Steins-Gate-Complete-Classic-Blu-ray/dp/B00KU3Y5CG/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=steins+gate+blu+ray&qid=1549984147&s=movies-tv&sr=1-2

That "LE" has nothing special about it at all sadly

Any reasoning to this selection, because honestly I think we could recommend something better than these, if there isn't a specific reason to this selection.

Summer Wars

Garden of Words

Steins;Gate

Obsucre-er? (Though maybe not as great)

Patema Inverted

Children Who Chase Lost Voices

Well there is the classic one : http://www.amazon.com/Steins-Gate-Complete-Classic-Blu-ray/dp/B00KU3Y5CG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422561990&sr=8-1&keywords=steins+gate&pebp=1422561993078&peasin=B00KU3Y5CG

Anyways, I choose Steins;Gate complete series simply because it's my top series.

Anime to me this year has meant a lot of disappointment more than anything. I was super hyped for both Charlotte and UBW, and both were a pretty big letdown. On the other hand though I definitely did have some pretty big surprises with a hopeful future, in a lot of announcements including Steins;Gate sequel and Rewrite (although I gotta keep my expectations in check)

EDIT: Oh man how could I forget Aldnoah.Zero season 2 in my slew of disappointment? That was right up there as well.

Well this year in anime has had some surprises and disappointments. This was my first year of watching seasonal anime (winter 2015). The anime that had the most impact on me and made into my top 10 was the 2nd season of JJBA: SDC. My friend got me into it and I was skeptical at first but I ended up loving.

In general this year I became more enriched in anime and I've watched more anime this year than other form of entertainment in my life. I don't what I would be doing without anime if I hadn't discovered it (probably just still playing video games) but I wouldn't have had the influence of anime today. I've been learning Japanese since my 2nd year of high school (because it's offered there) so it has also greatly influenced my intake of anime.

As for what I would want I would like either Steins; Gate Blu-ray, Cowboy Bebop Blu-ray, or basically any quality wall scrolls for the Fate Series or Kara no Kyoukai Series like this, this, or [this.]
(http://www.amazon.com/Kyoukai-Fabric-Scroll-Poster-Inches/dp/B00SCZRHM4/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1451276748&sr=1-2&keywords=kara+no+kyoukai+wall+scroll)

Also thank you for doing this.

And the full series is available on Blu-Ray for $32.96.

Link

Most stuff that comes out these days has both dub/sub on it.

This link here is for a $28 Blu-Ray of the series and it says in the product that it has both. For what it's worth, I have the DVD-version with the same cover and can absolutely confirm that that one has both.

Just to make sure we're looking at the same stuff, I've linked the items' listing and wrote some of notes. Let me know what you think.

Cowboy Bebop Complete Series BD (used?) - $15

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Limited Edition BD (used?) - $15

Spirited Away BD (used?) - $10

Your Name Limited Edition (Sealed) - BD (new) - $50

What a Wonderful World! 1-2 - manga (used) $10

A BluRay does exist. I own it.

I'm from EU (Finland), so I guess I can get it from the amazon.. But what I was actually asking that is that I couldn't find it from any torrent websites, I guess no one has uploaded it to online.

I wouldn't mind buying it but I still wonder why I can't find any bluray rip out of it.

I guess I will have to just get this then http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NP06DJE/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687782 (it's the same on than the funimations one released (Dec 16, 2014)

I believe so. Or it feels that way. I think it's amazon purchase only

http://www.amazon.com/Collected-Miyazaki-Amazon-Exclusive-Blu-ray/dp/B0117V8BX8 You can get it here.

Yeah, this one. It really is a quite gorgeous set of (just) Hayao Miyazaki's work, since the oeuvre is now complete.

Do you know which version is in the Miyazaki collection?

https://www.amazon.com/Collected-Miyazaki-Amazon-Exclusive-Blu-ray/dp/B0117V8BX8

Hayao Miyazaki Collection is the closest thing I ever found. After you get this there's only a handful left. I think?

I have the Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki selling it for $130 ish. The collection is all bluray :)

The Cat Returns $15

The Secret World of Arrietty $10

When Marnie Was There $15

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya $15

Pom Poko $10

Only Yesterday $15

Grave of the Fireflies $12

From Up on Poppy Hill $15

and my personal favorite, Whisper of the Heart $15

Individually, or if you buy everything, I'd sell them all together for $200 (the box set and every other movie listed). If you have an offer, PM me :)

I'll accept payment through Paypal
It is in mint condition. :) PM me if you're interested!

But it's just so much.

Are you talking about this one?

Because it says in the product details that there are subtitles. There's more info here as well which says there's English audio tracks available.

Sweet! I know you guys mainly do recent theatrical releases, but maybe you could watch some of the Ghibli movies? Amazon sells a collection of Ghibli films directed by Miyazaki, and Fathom Events will be having a Ghibli series in theaters this year. The Wind Rises is a more recent film that is intended for an adult audience, so I would recommend that one the most for you guys.

The Collected Works of Hideo Miyazaki - although you can probably buy all these movies individually for cheaper.

Stanley Kubrick: The Master Collection - doesn't include some of his earlier films, unfortunately.

Universal 100th Anniversary Collection - just a lot of great films from a wide range of genres for the money.

Back to the Future 30th Anniversary Trilogy - self explanatory

Indiana Jones: Complete Adventures Collection - comes with a free Indiana Jones 4 coaster!

While this is most definitely a bootleg they did license a complete miyazaki collection

I’ve got a few:

• Whiplash slipcover
  
  
• The Dark Knight Rises exclusive slipcover/cover from Best Buy Canada. It comes with an exclusive 30 minutes on-disc documentary that isn’t even noted on the case, but I can verify that it’s there
  
  
• Damnation, Werckmeister Harmonies, Almanac of Fall, and Sátántángo DVD releases from Facets Video. Aka the only NA distributor for Béla Tarr films. They took a lot of Amazon perusing and $ to finally get (I also have The Turin Horse on Blu-ray)
  
  
• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story steelbook (only version that came with a 3D disc)
  
  
• The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki Blu-ray set
  
  
• Chungking Express Criterion Blu-ray
  
  
• And various Batman steelbooks from the DCAU, including The Killing Joke. Got Batman Ninja preordered and super hyped!

Sure... I ordered from this Amazon link

> Our populace is just dumb.

Brainwashed, not dumb. They're mentally conditioned.

I'm really thinking that it isn't helpful to say that people are dumb when it's possible for anyone to have fallen into that trap.

Brainwashing of My Dad on amazon right now

I think what gets underplayed with this thinking is the reason they're racist pieces of human garbage. This is due to years and years of exposure to extreme right-wing media, starting with Rush Limbaugh, through Fox News and now Breitbart and freaking InfoWars. They're brainwashed. It's not the most well-constructed doc ever, but The Brainwashing of My Dad does a pretty good job of illustrating the problem.

Looks like it. I'd have expected them to be more. Have bluray prices come down from $30-$40+ per title?

Looks like it. Althought why in the world are DVD and Bluray prices the same???

1. $30, and it's not just Steins;Gate. Most releases through Sentai, NIS, and Funimation are fairly priced. It's mostly Aniplex releases that can be somewhat pricey.
   
   
2. Imports often come without subs, any NA released Blu-Ray is guaranteed to have subs and the subs for the most part are okay (with some exceptions).
   
   
3. A lot is an exaggeration. Oppai mousepads and body pillows make up a small portion of OFFICIAL merchandise. There's other stuff available, but maybe you don't like it?
   
   
4. Thank you for putting what I said in all-caps to make it seem like I was screaming at you.
   
   I'd rather not continue discussing this as it seems pointless to go back and forth with someone whose problems are seemingly non-existent.

It's called the [Phase 2 Box set](

Didn't they already? Yeah it's super expensive now but still. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Two-Disc-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1374454600&sr=8-12&keywords=star+wars+original+trilogy+limited+edition

To expand on this a bit, the 2006 dvds are what you would want if you can find them. They look like this, though as you may notice they are now out of print. Its the closest that you'll find to the originals from an official release. I would definitely not recommend the blu rays, they have visual issues and the changes really affect anyone's ability to take it seriously. ("NOOOOoo!", etc.)

Yes

There aren't any blu-ray but there are dvd releases of the original versions. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Two-Disc-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1417373914&sr=1-4&keywords=star+wars

A few Andy Sidaris movies.

Hard Ticket to Hawaii comes to mind immediately.

I recommend this set. Lot of fun movies in there for $5.

>You know, if you take those criteria and apply them to US education or tech, you kinda find that white men are second class citizens, and conservatives are about as discriminated as gays in the 50s.

I argue the latter is entirely false for a couple of reasons:

• Conservatives aren't discriminated against, they are just illogical. There is an entire book called "The Brainwashing of my Dad" on this exact concept. Likewise Conservatism is the act of conserving government funds and spending appropriately which is a UNIVERSAL concept, not just a party based one, therefore saying that you should be smart about Medicaid isn't Conservative, it's common sense.
  
  
• The ideology of being Conservative now-a-days is closer to SOCIAL conservatism, not FINANCIAL conservatism. Conservatives are usually anti-gay, sexist, or bigoted in some way. Why? Because change is hard and they don't want to assume that those things can be adjusted around, therefore you must go against it because it's obviously assaulting you by not bending to your tastes.
  
  
• Don't ever state that conservatives are as discriminated as any social groups, especially gays. Gays were not only getting fucking killed, but harassed by the government. The entirety of the aids epidemic was blamed on gays who had absolutely nothing to do with it. Stonewall Riots were caused by repeated raids by the local police force. You could, would, and often were fired, injured, hurt, and verbally assaulted in any number of ways, from being excluded entirely out of your community, becoming a social pariah to being lynched. To this day the lie that Gays caused AIDS is still around and actively hurts members in the community to the point of where "The Moral Majority" decides to completely skip decent LGBT+ sex education, leading to far more kids not only being bullied by their peers to the brink of suicide, if not suicide itself all because of something they can not physically control. The lie that it is a CHOICE has led to countless deaths by suicide, by starvation as they fled hateful homes, to poverty stricken lives and countless other travesties. Conservatives fucking deserve the shit they get and more for helping create one of the longest lasting lies about an entire segment of people to this day.
  
  
• Conservatives = Republicans universally as anyone who says they are Conservative often times vote Republican who's entire platform is based on it. Trump is just as Conservative as McCain or Raegan or Nixon, all of which raised the deficit and did the exact opposite of what being "Conservative" is supposed to be.
  
  > you kinda find that white men are second class citizens,
  
  I briefly cover this but white men aren't second class citizens, as that would be closer to slaves. All people are actually in indentured servitude at worse if you consider how much debt everything gives and how little money we make. No one in the US is debt free unless they have gross amounts of money and that is actually whats causing our current issue involving the deficit, poor distribution of money = bad economy, government and societal uprising.
