Grendelscott's DVD Corner: 11/06/05

[grendelscott]

Welcome back! Just to recap for any new members, each week I will post what is due out that week (or at least most of the main stream releases, as anywhere from 100-300 DVDs are released each week). I'll then spotlight a DVD with a review or news about a new one coming out. Finally, I'll post a DVD easter egg or two each week. Many of you might already know of them, but they are fun things to find "hidden" on your DVDs.

This Week's DVD Easter Egg(s)

Batman Begins Deluxe Edition
Source: Eye Crave DVD

There are three Easter eggs on this DVD which can only be found in the interactive comic book on disc two. You'll know when you found them because a short video clip will appear with a piece of paper saying "Finder's Keepers".

They can be found on the following pages.

#2 “Boo”
#4 “All Creatures Fear Flame…”
#7 “Protective body armor absorbed the impact…”

That's all folks! Thanks for reading, and see you next week.

[Ghost]

Thanks for the easter eggs GS! Looking forward to picking up CatCF, and maybe Jumanji, and check out what the Ed Scissorhands tin might hold.

[Bartman256]

Getting Charlie and the CF....maybe Jumanji.


I heard they were going to release the old Marvel cartoons...Cap, Hulk, Iron Man, FF(from the 60's) on DVD as a box set. Anyone know when this is coming out?

Not soon enough...I think someone posted a thread about it recently with something about Amazon showing a 2010 release. Is that the same set?

[Ghost]

Yeah I think that's the same set, Marvel Superheroes that Wktf mentioned.

[Bartman256]

2010!!!!!!!!!! WTF! Why so long!

[J Storm]

I prob pick up the Beavis & Butthead vol. 1 - but before I do, is there any talk of doing actually seasons or are they sticking with the volumes for B&B?

Has to be a typo on the Amazon site. They would never announce something like this out 5 years. I bet it's 2006

Dont believe it...that's Amazon's new system for DVDs that have no official release date yet, but probably wont come out any time soon.

[Ghost]

Well I went to Best Buy today and no Jumanji anything. Anyone else see it? Did see a deluxe edition for Big Fish which really only included a concept book that I want, but the dvd and the box are the same, I might just pass that on to me mum. Same with Ed Scissorhands, just some concept art and the tin, I'll have to check my other anniversary edition to see if it's the same.
