Because perhaps that's all they wanted? Or that's all that their supplier had? These people are usually fans that will buy the discs early or get early access to them.

Robocop 2 is Le bad cinema. I used to think it was really good. I saw it in theaters twice and even once actually declared it to be better than the original. I revisited the film about 5 or 6 years ago and I have to confess I don't know what the hell I was thinking. It's just bad.... like Running Man bad, or Cobra bad.

Bad good, as in you can still watch it and enjoy it? I still enjoy watching all three of those films even though I know they are not the greatest films in the world, like 70s Godzilla.

...and again, pulls a quote out of context. Read the second sentence and then work out your reply.

The thing with conspiracy theories is they always turn out to be false. Don't worry about it, I was not being genuine.

Okay, fair enough.

It's amusing. The people who are pissed about the changes to the films are pissed at George Lucas. The people who don't care are pissed at the people who are pissed.

It's all very silly.

I'm not pissed at anyone. I don't hate anyone. I just want to be left alone, I don't want to be part of your bickering. I want to be excited about this release please don't spoil it. Thank you. Sorry if I ever offended you but please just leave me be. Thanks.

Luke Skywalker and the heroes of the OT just shoved up in the right corner like an afterthought. Definitely got a head-shaking chuckle out of that one.

I can understand why. George with the prequels is rid of Marsha, Lawrence, Irvin, Richard, Richard, Gary, and anyone else that gave him grief.

There is no reason to feel like they are ruining your fun. I can't wait for this release and nothing they say can change my mind. They want to think I am a Lucas fanboy, who cares, I sure don't. On the 16th I plan on enjoying every minutes of these Blu-ray

Well, unfortunately for you, this is the internet and a majority of people are pissed off at this release.

I don't think you're going to find ANY forum that has people that are completely thrilled with everything about it.

You're completely within your right to be thrilled about this release. I wish I could be. No one is taking that away from you. Only you can allow that to happen.

Because no one cares about the PT's like they do the OT's. I can buy the set right now but I'm waiting on a review first. I already bought X men first class and Scareface, are they out yet? But hey keep hope alive.

Breather · 09-02-2011, 01:19 PM

We had a store around here that would break street date for a "fee". She closed and moved out of state around Easter.

Yesterday, I checked with a friend of mine that's a manager at a Wal-Mart near here. They don't even have them in the back yet, waiting for street date. In 2004, they had the big displays with the set sitting in shrinkwrap in the stockroom, well before street date.

Because this movie is not at any B&M stores including "porn shops". Anyone thinking that they will go into Best Buy, Target or Walmart and find it is deceiving themselves. As far as paying the retail cost $130, there are people right now that will give you $300 or more for the set (if they could get it this early).

If it turns out that LFL did fix stuff than this is what it will be like on the 16th:

And then we can all

But if they didn't then this is what it will be like:

Casey did an awesome, ethical, and complete analysis on the Alien box set and he will deliver for SW. Heck, I am as excited as any of you guys for the reviews to come out

Sounds like Casey is.

If you could direct them to me, I'd be MORE than happy to hook them up for a double profit.

How can you be pissed off when you haven't actually seen the offical Blu-ray release? Everyone is getting their shorts tied up in a knot, because of what might be.......

EDIT: Cryin' Won't Help You!

I might be willing to pay $300 to get this set early, I am that crazy about Star Wars

Very true.

If it makes it to CNN, then they have a big problem. Especially if the footage is fake.

My hats off to dude. Tell your sister, you were right and I apologize.
