Kevin Smith Was Lucky

Before I post the going ons in New Jersey I feel I should share this concept art from a movie Kevin Smith (a man from Jersey) made a script for and I am deeply happy it was never made. I am also happy Tim Burton only directed Batman. Some concept art has surfaced, if you haven't seen it yet, on Tim Burton's failed Superman Lives project which Kevin Smith has talked about and was happy that it never actually lifted off ground. Also a costume design featuring a certain actor has surfaced from the depths of development hell in this little video. I can't tell its fake, and thats the sad part:

DVD Exclusive Smash

I need to work on the title for this. Today we have very different mash of Exclusives. Normally I wouldn’t talk about disney exclusives, mostly because of how lame they have been in the past. But this week we have a very unique and interesting mash of exclusives. Also some aren’t exclusives, the re-release and Blu-ray edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, which is out in October, has some very interesting mix of things to come. It is also probably the most exclusive and specifically released movie I have seen. In other words I have seen 6 different packaging types for this movie, well from Amazon.com anyways. Well, 7 if you count Best Buy’s exclusive Steelbook packaging which is actually included and can be used as a separate packaging. I am also a bit confused with a certain piece of packaging which is the 2 disk set. You can choose between DVD packaging and/or Blu-ray packaging; both containing DVD and Blu-ray discs respectively. Kids and both adults-fans of the movies will be treated quite well and to their specific packaging needs. Just take a look at the exclusives: (also I won’t make it huge to save room, and just click on the image for bigger art detail)

In Order: Regular DVD packaging and DVD Packaging with DVD and Blu-ray Combo.

Here is the Blu-ray Diamond Edition which does include Blu-ray and DVD combo. Next to this is another non-exclusive but which includes a book (not sure what it contains). And $10 off your next Disney store purchase.

Here’s the biggest one which thought deserved a bigger space for: It comes in a huge box which has the collectors book shown above in a nicer book art (apparently), the Blu-ray and DVD, some production art, and apparently snow white with the seven dwarfs in a pin set. Now that’s what I call going all out.

Now here’s the final of the DVD goodies we have here, and this one includes the DVD and Blu-ray with Plushies of the Seven Dwarfs. Very cute for kids or people who are into the Plush collecting. Next to that is the Best Buy Exclusive Pre-sale Steelbook packaging. Its small, but that’s all I could get.

I have no problem with the choices on how you want to get your Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs copy I really respect this actually since this was the first actual Disney movie release. If your a huge fan of Disney before the Miley Cyrus and High School Muscial era (this era unfortunately), then you have a wide span ways on how to further your Golden Days of Disney collecting. Now if only they did this for Pinocchio or Peter Pan…

The Office: Season 5

Yep, not done yet. I got to talk about The Office Season 5 release. There are more exclusives now that I thought was going to be out for tomorrow. Here’s what Best Buy is getting; which is my favorite I think:

Everything that’s in the Shrute Farms box set is said right in the picture. Very awesome and huge set, but I really want this. Its really awesomely themed and got a good amount of stuff. I only wish it was in Blu-ray though, I’m hoping for a Blu-ray set like this.

This one I found very plain like most Target exclusives. Its very small but reads: Includes 45-minute interview with the writers, a script and cast magnets. I’m not too crazy about this one.

FYE is also having a small rebate on the DVDs for the money saver people. You get the DVD for only $27.99 after the rebate, a very nice money save.

We Are ODST

Thought I should give this a post. The trailer is really something. Its not directed by Neill Blomkamp (Director of other Halo Live Action Trailers and District 9) either. Its directed by someone who made other Halo Live Action shorts before. Also this is a shorter trailer the longer version airs on Spike TV on Monday at 10:30pm or was it 7:30? I dislike time differences between posts. But anyways here's a short version, seems long but it just means it will be way longer on Spike:

Time to Say It

This will probably be at least a very personal post, but this is something I have been planning very quietly in the dark of my bat cave (my room) for quite some time. Because of how messy the timing and how short a time it is, I may not be gone for long, depending on circumstances. I cannot really explain every single detail, but I have decided to very quietly take a leave of absence to the very faraway state of New Jersey. This will happen in a little more than a week. The reason I cannot fully explain is because I am not really sure how to explain myself. There is no reason for this, but one would be I would like to travel one day, and this is just a small start of it.Maybe I wanted to try something new, I cannot fully say. I do know I want to do some new things which include visiting some conventions coming very soon to New York, which is right next to New Jersey if you don’t know your geography well. I can very well report the happenings of the Anime Festival and Wizard World New York. Again I cannot fully extend the reasons for my actions I just thought I would do this for a little while or long while; depending on circumstances once again. I will be back again though, so things may be borrowed from my room as long as it is returned. I will also so I will be in fact be back by the time of the holidays. I am just rambling on with that, but I surely will be back. Future updates can be posted for updates on myself and what life is like in New York (its going to be bad). Well time to make the switch with Conan O’Brien and see what’s going on there, the unfortunate thing is they have Jimmy Fallon and not Conan anymore, but they still got David Letterman, right? Well, anyways only thing left to say is adios, and see you again soon family, friends (who are reading this), and Los Angeles.
