Currently I’m thinking that Saturday night (3rd May) around 7pm would be good for Life of Brian. Complain in the comments! The disc looks really nice for what it is, btw. edit: Moved to Friday night, 7:30pm to satisfy Justin. So he’d, like, better show up!

The latest batch of discs from Amazon arrived on Wednesday, and I took the time to compare the Blu-ray of Baron Munchausen with my Australian DVD copy (my old dvd.net review is here).

So, my Life of Brian disc arrived. Who wants to come see it, and what time works for you?

Home was first slated for September or October 2007 and then pushed back to “Spring 2008.” It’s now been pushed back again until Summer (our Winter) 2008. “We have come to the conclusion that we need more time to refine the service to ensure a more focused gaming entertainment experience than what it is today” [...]

This is how it is done

I approve. I approve overwhelmingly. I bought a Blue Jeans cable a month or so ago. It’s excellent, and it’s about 15% of the cost of a Monster cable, while being equivalent or better in build/picture quality.

It’s still early days, but I think Quickflix is going to be a keeper. It’s (as far as I can see) a complete clone of the US Netflix company – you pay a fixed monthly amount and create a queue of films on their website. They send you the first disc from the queue, you [...]
