I will likely buy The Fifth Element elsewhere then given that and the fact that they won't give you the difference if the price drops after release day anymore.

I'm glad it seems that the release is a pretty good one though.

My Amazon Preorder sayings "Arriving July 11".

I was just going by what I saw when I tried to order it this afternoon.

It's probably just a ymmv situation. For a while mine said "Delivery date pending" or something like that.

Just price matched the BB regular version preorder which I got today against Wal Mart at $19.96. Great price! Way lower than Amazon!

[Cook]

Eh it's only $5 cheaper which is probably what I'd have to spend in gas driving to Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

OK so anyone seen it and is it less yellow now?

Does anyone have some non-stock photos of the slipcover version and/or the steelbook?

Steelbook is only $20 plus you get $5 in rewards. Not sure if I should just go after the slip. Not a big fan of the reused steelbook artwork. I am such a big fan of MJ, maybe I should just buy both.

I wish I had a ship to store option but it doesn't on my end so far. I have five bucks so it might be worth it for the steelbook and get my five dollars back for something else like Blade Runner. I was going to use it for Blade Runner, but my BB dollars expire before the BR release.

EDIT: WTF? I went to order and BB showed it costs 10 dollars to ship. I don't think so.

It sets the shipping to express. If you go to the next step you can change it to standard.

But hey, even if every hair remained unsplit his try-hard rudeboy act is like nails down a chalkboard to me. Reviewers gotta have their own schtick, I get that, but I'm just not one for habitually checking these things out like other folks do because it's usually 90% antics and 10% content. Seems like every time I do decide to click on one there's just another chronically annoying persona at the other end.

This is why I mostly avoid these YT reviewers, whether it's home video releases, the films themselves, figures, games or whatever else it is they review. It's like nine out of ten puts on a forced persona, tries hard to seem funny and/or cool, etc. and it's an instant turn-off.

Just relax and be yourself, talk about what it is you want to talk about, preferably know what you're talking about, film yourself in one take instead of editing it in jump cuts to make yourself appear "totally hyperrr!" (unless you have to do something over to correct a mistake, that's forgivable)... then I may watch and perhaps even enjoy your videos.

Aye, they're just not my thing in general.

looooool My original reviews are around 15-20 mins long. Noone has time for all that. Jump cuts are not a stylistic desision.

Yeesh, no thanks.

And he lost me at "2K digital intermediate" for the VFX, as although the VFX would've been done at 2K (or lower) it was then recorded back out to film for conforming into the negative and subsequent photochemical timing passes.

Makes me glad I'm not on facebook

lmfao. Theres layers to people you know. I respect your opinion. I'd rather be polarising than generic...like every other reviewer.

Read the rest of my posts, it's kinda obvious that this act is your thing and so I don't hold it against you personally. These guys up in here seem to love it but I've had more than my fill, thanks. Still confused about that DI line, mind you...
