Our Van has a DVD layer, not a bluray player, so those double packs are good for us. The kiddos can enjoy the movie over and over in the Van, while I can watch it in HD on the big screen.Vidor wrote:Just saw a commercial for the release of "Ted" on DVD, and it was a 2-pack with a regular DVD and a Blu-Ray. See this a lot nowadays. Why do people do this? If you have a regular player you can't play the Blu-Ray and if you have the Blu-Ray you don't need the regular DVD.

Re: movies
Watched Black Narcissus for a second time and it's in the running as my favorite Powell & Pressburger film. David Farrar, Kathleen Byron, Deborah Kerr (and Powell & Pressburger) at the height of their powers. Throw in a young Jean Simmons, incredible scenery, technicolor, Jack Cardiff behind the camera and a story about nuns and sexual tension...
Got another five to watch this week:
Design for Living
Les Enfants Terribles
Cul-De-Sac
Les Cousins
Clean, Shaven

I seen the Hobbit. I think there might be another one because I thought the dragon part would be longer.

Lincoln. I really enjoyed and so did my preteen daughter though she whined about having to see it instead of something else. A very compelling story done beautifully.

I didn't ask. She whined when we saw Moonrise Kingdom instead of Bernie. Then she loved MK.Freed Roger wrote:What was the something else?lukethedrifter wrote:Lincoln.
