Nice to see some love for Mallrats.
Ben Affleck is funny in the cast commentary.

Affleck kills it being the biggest a$$hole on the planet.
He was also the bomb in Phantoms!
So far only watched the extended cut (that's nearly 30mins longer!) I don't know if it's my bad memory or them using alt takes for a lot of the scenes but damn the main male & female leads (Jeremy London & Claire Forlani) are absolutely terrible!!

I've just got the region 1 DVD, maybe I'll see the extended version one day.
If I remember correctly, I made my parents go to shops in California to find this, Dogma SE and The Killers DVD (both films and loads of extras).
The Kevin Smith Blu-ray's and DVDs are what have made me so moany about extras. Very little compares to his added value.
I agree with you re the 2 MCs.

As topless psychics don't exist, my wallet is safe.😲
 
I received two Blu-ray titles from Crunchyroll US this week, one on Tuesday with a Gift Item, and one on Thursday along with a second Gift item:

Psycho-Pass: Providence Limited Edition with GWP Standee (11/5)
Extra Psycho-Pass GWP Standee shipped separately (11/7)
86 Eighty Six (11/7)

With the power of a region-free player in my hands, I can buy releases like this now and actually play the Blu-ray that comes with it.

Kino Lorber's release of 12 Angry Men from Amazon US. I've read that this is the best looking transfer of the film, as it is sourced from the original camera negative, and films from this era look stunning in 4K. The cool thing about this release is that the extra Blu-ray also contains the 1997 remake as a bonus feature.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (Part 1) (HMV exclusive version)

A shame the spine won't match with the main series but at least they're consistent enough they both have slipcovers.

I genuinely think Anime Limited is run buy two separate design and marketing teams that have never spoken to each other and are assigned titles at random. It's the only explanation.
 
Had a bit of a dabble in the sale at HMV, also created my 746th account with them to swindle a further 20% off.

Firstly, just a couple of things to tick off for on-going releases I'm collecting:

Inuyasha: Season 2 standard edition
Vinland Saga: Season 2 Part 1

And then, although, not in the sale, I picked up my first DVD purchase in God knows how long: Beck Mongolian Chop Squad. I had no idea Anime Limited released this. As a teenager, I remember owning the special edition guitar amplifier set (which, looking into it, was a Funimation release back in the day). I have fond memories of this show, like many I'm sure, it actually inspired me to pick up a guitar (it didn't last very long though, I got to about playing Smoke on the Water on one string and gave up 😂). I remember the show having a very cool soundtrack, and with me, any show with killer music is already halfway to winning me over!

Another one for Second Sight's new Blair Witch Project release, from HMV. This has had a lot of talk about it, as this transfer is said to be how the film was originally intended to look (according to those that worked on the film). I believe they did something funny with the theatrical release when this was shown in cinemas originally, meaning that the film looked different as it was transferred to 35mm film, rather than shown on the original material (i.e., Hi-8 tape and 16mm film). It was this inaccurate theatrical release that was then used for all the home video releases since... until today!
