Why no pink on U.S. cover?

Well number 1 we haven't gotten screenshots from blu-ray.com yet. Second until you actually watch the disc you still can't completely judge how good or bad a move looks I don't care if blu-ray.com or any other website posts screenshots. If it is this deep for you don't buy the movie and stop whining about. It's not that deep for most of us but apparently it is for you. Reminds me of a kid on Christmas who didn't get the exact toy that he wanted from Santa. At least I can understand that situation but yours is over the top.

You're overinterpreting. I've just explained my view on this. I'm not whining. And even if I did, atleast I'm whining over a matter on topic with this thread, while you are whining about someone else whining.

Please no one is whining except you. I;m over-interpreting lol you got some nerve. I'm not the one bent out of shape over a few screenshots. l I get tired of people complaining about screenshots. Like I said if you don't like the way it looks don't buy it. It's that simple.

Who says I don't like the way it looks? The more accurate screenshots I've seen (of which I posted two) look fabulous. Can't wait to get this title. Love the movie too of course.

Btw, as far as I know, it's not against the forum rules to post screenshots and/or discuss them. If you don't like such posts, then ignore them, instead of resorting to personal attacks and snide remarks trying to ridicule the user.

Does anyone know if there's a place where one could obtain a pink Blu-ray case?

Bridesmaids in the UK has one. Maybe the US one does too?

If not you could order bridesmaids from amazon uk.

Murkurial · 01-15-2012, 10:22 PM

Wow, that's a pleasant surprise. When I googled "pink blu-ray case" a second ago, I actually found "Valentine's Day" to have a more neon pink. One more suited to be paired with the pink that'll be found on a custom "Drive" cover.

Thanks for the heads up though. Now to find a film that I don't mind owning (though I heard that Bridesmaids was pretty funny).

And now its time to hoard Five-disk Drive Ultimate Edition Blu-ray

blu-rayfreak · 01-16-2012, 11:24 PM

comes out on iTunes tomorrow, i think tomorrow would have been a perfect release. But no, two more weeks. I'm definitely getting it on iTunes in HD just to see it again once more!

El_Jay · 01-16-2012, 11:29 PM

So I've just recently become a big fan of Ryan Gosling.

I knew he was in The Notebook, but I've never seen it (I swear on my testicles haha) so he was just a name to me. I knew he was Canadian so I wanted to like him but he wasn't in anything I cared about.

Then in a span of about 2 months I saw him in Drive, The Ides of March and Crazy, Stupid, Love. The guy is awesome. I need to see Blue Valentine as well. Oh and Half Nelson, I heard it's disturbing but a really good Gosling performance.

Benchman · 01-17-2012, 12:43 AM

Review was posted on hidefdigest and got 5 stars for video and audio. I can't wait for this release!

Yeah man, JGL is great. I always liked him in Third Rock, but in the past couple years it's been Inception, (500) Days of Summer, 50/50... he's really been showing his chops. He's in The Dark Knight Rises as well, isn't he? Just checked IMDB, yes he is. He's also in Django Unchained, which is probably the movie I'm most looking forward to, period.

I also really like Ben Foster for younger actors, I wish he'd get more roles.

Can't wait for that one.

Glad to see JGL and of course John Lithgow getting consistent work, they were the best parts of that show.

Man that cover art is just suuuuch shiiiiiiit.

Great review from HDD. Generally I trust those guys, especially Nate Boss, but it must be noted that this is the same guy (Luke Hickman) who gave Warrior a 2.5/5 for PQ. That either means his standards are really high and this is really that good, or his judgment is a little questionable.

El_Jay · 01-17-2012, 01:22 AM

So happy I'm buying the Canadian one. The art is similar but somehow looks much less shitty.
