DVD Day: December 16th, 2008
? Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Guys, there’s a commentary track…in song. There’s no excuse not to purchase this, unless you can’t deal with it being an Amazon exclusive.
? The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Dr. Horrible is outselling all versions of The Mummy 3 by a considerable margin on Amazon. that makes me feel incredibly good inside.
? Aqua Teen Hunger Force Vol. 6
I have no details about this DVD set. So sorry.
? Death Race
Like way too many Jason Statham movies, I’m told Death Race was actually pretty fun. Agree/disagree? Please don’t call the original Death Race a cult classic, because Roger Corman is a horrible fucking director.
? Naruto Uncut Boxset 11
I just wanted to point out this is the first boxset of the insanely horrible Naruto filler episodes. I don’t know if it has the episode where Naruto pees on everybody, tho’ (you think I’m kidding, but I’m not).
? Transformers Energon Complete Collection
Like Armada, but with more Unicron.
? The A-Team: Season One
Fuck and yes.
On a totally unrelated note, the commercial for Mamma Mia, which also comes out on DVD today, tells me, “You know what she wants–give it to her!” I feel Mamma Mia wants me to rape some or all of my female loved ones. Frankly, I don’t approve.
