Beer League - Blu-ray Forum

gixxerk3 · 03-28-2008, 09:28 PM

Beer League is not supposed to come out until Tuesday right? Somehow I managed to see a copy out on the shelf at Newbury Comics yesterday. Not only that, it was only $7.99. Someone messed up I guess. So of course I had to grab it. Even though the reviews of the movie itself werent all that great, I thought it was a good find, and in my opinion was hilarious.

never even heard of it.

This is the Artie Lange movie right? At that price, it's worth a blind buy. It'd cost me nearly that to rent it....stupid hollywood video, jacking up Blu-ray rental prices...

I believe that is Artie Lange's Beer League. I was surprised when I first heard that it was coming to Blu-Ray. I saw the movie when it was released on SD DVD. I did not like it much, although there were some funny parts.

I really wanted to like it since I am a HUGE Howard Stern fan and I think Artie is funny as hell on the show. However, the movie just didn't do much for me.

Baba Booey to all!

Sounds like nearly every comedy of the last 20 years (with the exception of The Naked Gun..)

Any extra features on the blu-ray version? I was thinking of picking it up but would like to know how it compares to the DVD version (ie. did they port over the extra features).

Its only 7.99 So please no complaints or gripes about the PQ and AQ it is what it is

katharsis · 03-28-2008, 10:49 PM

The movie is horrible, but then again $7.99 what do you expect?

Check the OP... Newbury Comics.

Even $9.95 on Amazon is cheap. I for one am not going to add this to the collection. Watched the DVD as a rental, thats about enough!

It looks like it has the same extra features as the dvd version. based on amazons write up.

Last week, a caller told Artie on the show that he was looking forward to the Blu-ray release of Beer League, and Artie replied, "what is Blu-ray?"

Interesting how his people don't keep him informed of the marketing of his own film.

Maybe he was in a Cebutex (sp?) induced coma when they told him about it!!!!!

Artie is hysterical, and although I really think the movie is a big turd.... I'll buy it because it has some funny parts, and Artie probably only has about 5 good years left before he pulls the John-Candy....

I thought that was an interesting response from Artie (doesn't know Blu-ray and yet he loves movies and owns a huge flat screen TV). That caller opened the door and Howard closed it quickly after Artie's response. It was a missed opportunity to promote Blu-ray and the release of Beer Leage onBlu. But it was a great week of radio last week. The interview with Ryan Philleppe was terrific.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was hoping that they delve into it more. Robyn responded "it's high-definition" over Howard's voice, but the topic was quickly squashed.

It's obvious that Howard hates discussions on high-def technology.
