DVD updates
Just got time to swing by for a few DVD-related updates. Generally speaking I'm considerably less enthusiastic about standard definition DVDs nowadays, given the monumental leap in quality that HD DVD constitutes, but a couple of titles have recently been announced that I'll definitely be buying. The first is
Asterix and the Vikings, which is getting a release in France on October 25th from M6 Vidéo. I've no idea whether or not this will include the original English-language audio or just the French dub, but either way I'm very anxious to pick it up. The second is
Operation Crossbow, one of my favourite WW2 movies, which I've been hoping would get a DVD release for ages. It's coming out in the US from Warner on December 19th, just in time for Christmas, and is part of a
scheme launched by Warner earlier this year to allow fans to choose which catalogue titles would be released. I voted for
Operation Crossbow, and I'm exceedingly glad that it was selected for release.
I also bolstered my DVD collection with a free copy of Lars von Trier's
The Idiots (R1 Canada). Thanks, Noel!
Oh, and the DVD release of
Garth Marenghi's DarkPlace has been delayed.
Again. The speculated release date this time ranges from January 29th 2007 to March 26th 2007. What are Channel 4 playing at? This is beyond a joke.

its a little off topic but try and check out The Fast and the Furious when its released on the 26th for HD-DVD. From the looks of its SD counterpart, its sure to be a reference/demo disc.
as for the movie itself, it never tries to pass itself off as anything more than a stunts driven action film, but this is where it succeeds spectacularly

I've already seen The Fast and the Furious, and to be perfectly honest I have no real desire to ever do so again. It just didn't grab me at all, and there are plenty of other titles I intend to pick up in the coming months.
