Oh, and a few of Julia Roberts films from the 90's.

Hmm..

Anyway, I'll be getting this.

A League is a classic and one of my favorites.

"It had to be youuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

I agree 100%. Although I tend to like quite a few ROMCOM. I know they are cheesy and all but it is just kind of a nice way to chill sometimes the action movies are just way to cheesy. I guess RomCom's are my guilty pleasure. But it definitely needs to be funny. Like not overly funny but in like Fools Rush In. I always get a kick out of Matthew Perry when he falls in the cactus and comes home loaded. Or I really enjoy 3 to tango. great cast and movie.

Although, I don't think it looks terrible, I would prefer something else. Still, worst case scenario, you can always print your own cover, which I've done plenty of times.

Can you please elaborate on the older documentaries (which will not be on the Blu-ray release) and what formats they were available on?

Thanks!

Thanks!

The import DVD's had:
Behind-the-scenes featurette (6:56)
A League Of Their Own documentary (27:22

The second documentary was all about the REAL girls in the league.

There was also a documentary on HBO that I still have on VHS that was more about the making of the film and had LOTS of interviews with the cast and crew.

So annoying.

Sorry to say, according to The Digital Bits, that's exactly the cover we're getting for the BD.

Someone didn't check this thread before posting, eh?

Dubstar · 08-09-2012, 09:42 PM

the cover looks like a giant candy bar.

Not sure what you're referring to. Is it your "yuck" post which has a mysterious dead "red x" picture link?

EDIT: Hmm, after refreshing a few times, now the graphic is coming up for me. In any case, notice the time stamp of my post--I was clearly writing it as you posted yours, so it's not like you were being ignored.

critterdvd · 08-09-2012, 10:16 PM

While the BD cover art is pretty much an eyesoar I agree it's better than the DVD...

DetroitSquirreL · 08-09-2012, 10:16 PM

I like this film, but not sure how many times I'd watch it....so, to buy or not?

It's the exact same thing. Or are you referring to the very first barebones DVD from the '90s?

Maggot · 08-12-2012, 07:55 PM

So which cover artwork is official, if any at this point, the one on The Digital Bits or the cover on this site.

The cover from this site with the three-split looks like something you'd see on the back-side, NOT the front, of a DVD or Blu-ray. I prefer the "RED baseball mound" version, even though it looks a bit amatuerish. They need to re-work it.

Well, the cover on this site was an actual poster for the film and the other one (that you like) is a crap photoshop thing.

I said I preferred it over the other one, not that I liked it either. Neither one is great.
