good deal, great show, but a quick price check looks like you can buy it now on ebay for about that price

6/3/2010 9:11:43 AM

i really want to pick this up, but i'm still hoping for an eventual blu-ray release but i don't see that happening anytime soon.

6/3/2010 9:16:24 AM

i may grab one and save it to give out as a christmas present or something

6/3/2010 9:17:57 AM

I think they shot in standard digital 4:3 because it was designed with tv in mind. Thus a blu ray is basically worthless, FYI

yeah they would have to re-scan and re-edit all the original super-35 film which would be timely and costly...maybe if they sell enough DVDs they will do it!

6/3/2010 9:38:07 AM

The aspect ratio is not a factor in how good it can look. It seems this comes up every time a 4:3 show/movie is mentioned.


^Correct. It's all about how it was shot and what it was shot on. I agree, it would be an expensive procedure. Looks like DVD it is.

6/3/2010 9:52:10 AM

6/3/2010 5:20:53 PM

rrrrrrgghh

6/3/2010 5:24:35 PM

yeah fuck you for posting this.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

Bought it.

Standard shipping is $2.98, you can get a free one month trial of Amazon Prime and two-day shipping is free or next day shipping is $3.99.

So for a buck more than I would've paid anyway, it'll be here tomorrow.

*sigh*

6/3/2010 7:06:31 PM

Standard shipping should have been free. At least it was for me

6/3/2010 8:46:32 PM

awesome. never seen the show, but i plan on watching these this summer. i had started to dl these as torrents, but this is better.

6/3/2010 11:09:19 PM

^^ i thought super saver was free and standard was 2.98

either way, i'll take $4 for overnight

6/4/2010 4:33:49 AM

yeah, that's what i meant. i guess super saver is "slower" than standard?

i've never really noticed because i never order anything from amazon that is time sensitive.

^^ Super Saver is supposed to be 5-9 days (as opposed to 3-5 for standard), though I've never had anything take more than 4 with SS.

6/4/2010 5:09:17 PM

yeah i actually got my shipment notification with SS this afternoon. So i imagine it'll be here tuesday.
