Join The Circle Of Trust
The fine folks at Oscilloscope Laboratories, the movie production/distribution company co-owned by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, have introduced a new subscription service called “The Circle Of Trust.” $150 will net you the next 10 DVD releases they have coming down the pipeline, and you get them a week before the release date.
I usually don’t take to recommending things like this but this is a great deal, especially considering the care that Oscilloscope puts into choosing films – they’ve handled the distribution for indies like Wendy & Lucy and No Impact Man and foreign fare like Burma VJ and Treeless Mountain – and the beautiful, recycled packaging that each disc comes in. Well worth the expense in this reporter’s opinion.
Adult Swim Lets You Build Your Own DVD
The folks at Adult Swim have locked on to a great idea that will hopefully inspire other DVD makers to follow suit. Offering an alternative to their TV season box sets, they are allowing you to put together your own collection of episodes from select shows (including Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and The Drinky Crow Show, among others) – and help design the packaging – for a mere $20. It adds a nice personal spin to the DVD buying experience and lets you avoid the episodes of these shows that you didn’t care for. Go here to check it out.

Glee comes to DVD on December 29th
Direct from Fox’s PR “Give a cheer for TV’s hottest, funniest and most talked-about new series when “Glee” Season 1: Road To Sectionals debuts on DVD December 29 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Filled with beloved characters and sensational musical numbers, “Glee” Season 1: Road To Sectionals is an electrifying, pitch-perfect winner. William McKinley High School once had a champion glee club, but now they are floundering. That is when an idealistic Spanish teacher (Matthew Morrison, Music & Lyrics) takes up their cause, vowing to transform the rag-tag group of singers and dancers into champions.” Continue reading
Blu-Ray hits 7-11
While in my local 7-11 tonight, I noticed that there was a small cardboard stand with a small selection of blu-ray discs on it. Big films such as 2001, The Perfect Storm, The Aviator were all available and priced at just $15.00 each. I guess blu-ray has finally reached the masses!
