RT on DVD: Transformers Hit Blu-ray; Watch Office DVD Blooper Reel
10. The Promotion - 47% Tomatometer
Sean William Scott and John C. Reilly go head to head in The Promotion, a comedy that rumbles with the kind of corporate culture-induced agony seen in the aforementioned The Office. Unfortunately, first-time director Steve Conrad (who penned screenplays for The Pursuit of Happyness and The Weatherman) serves up a tonally inconsistent blend of screwball humor and subtle indie-film quirk. The Promotion is out on DVD this week.
Bonus features include six deleted scenes and a featurette.

on Sep 02 2008 08:50 AM I'll pick up The Office some time this week, I would call everyone an idiot if they actually re-buy Transformers on Blu-Ray considering you know a way better blu ray box set will probably come out around when Transformers 2 comes out. I definitely wouldn't say that The Incredible Hulk wasn't a stretch from HULK, I would say it was a better movie it was dumb fun while Ang Lee's Hulk was just kind of boring. Also I bet that 26 minutes that were suppose to be included on the full 70 minutes of deleted scenes are the scenes Norton wanted in the movie, so it is guaranteed that en extended cut is planned. Thats cool Band of Brothers is coming to blu-ray, great mini series I just dont know if I will re-buy it, I know I will probably re-buy Firefly on blu-ray though. Oh and that alternate ending on the Incredible Hulk I heard is that captain america part, so that may even be enough for me to get it on blu-ray. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 02 2008 09:23 AM "Megan Fox in HD". LOL...they should advertise the Transformers release with just that tagline. They would sell a zillion copies. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 02 2008 09:24 AM jokerboy, I'm amazed every week to see how big a DVD buyer you are. You must have the largest DVD collection ever! (Reply to this) |
on Sep 02 2008 10:11 AM "Fantasia" on Blu-Ray will allow our grandchildren to have the world's GREATEST trip sessions in the comfort of their own living rooms. Seriously, if you've never seen it on DVD with 5.1 (or better) surround sound, you have NO idea what you're missing. I literally had an out-of-body experience while watching... of course I had help... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 02 2008 11:15 AM Just picked up Transformers Blu-Ray and am awaiting my Criterion copy of Salo to arrive in the mail. Can't wait to see that one. ;) (Reply to this) |

on Sep 02 2008 11:19 AM And yeah Jokerboy, I'm an idiot for getting Transformers on Blu since it'll be rereleased in just 10 short months, give me a friggin break! (Reply to this) |

on Sep 02 2008 01:16 PM I never bought Transformers on DVD since it didn't come out on Blu ray in favor of HD DVD (good call Paramount! You nailed that one!). I might buy it now. I have no interest in the 'special features' for this movie. I don't want to know anything about how Bay blew stuff up and how cool it was, or how they generated the bots on their cool awesome computers. Whatever, I'm in it for the movie. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 02 2008 01:32 PM Ha! (Reply to this) |
on Sep 02 2008 01:34 PM Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray should be spectacular. I'll be waiting with bated breath for that one. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 02 2008 01:39 PM In reply to this comment (#2014471) Why not just wait until they release Transformers 3 on blue ray and get the 3 pack. That would be an even better deal. Puhlease. Enjoy it now while life lets you. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 02 2008 09:42 PM STFU JEN YAMAMOTO! Not everything is Tomatometer, HULK was loathed by fans. The INCREDIBLE HULK is considered a classic by fans, do the math [EDIT] (Reply to this) |

on Sep 02 2008 10:47 PM Huh. Who would have thought someone with the name "Spermian Jones" would not only be offensive, but egregiously misspell someone's last name. A name which is quite easy to look up and cite and spell correctly. It's really not that difficult. Plus, I did the math. Hence, the numbers. The Tomatometer numbers; the box office numbers; the production cost numbers. My point still stands - the two Hulk movies, however different in concept and execution, are really not that different in terms of performance. But there seems to be the perception that Incredible Hulk is MUCH better than Hulk. (And guess what? I liked Ang Lee's Hulk just fine.) (Reply to this) |

on Sep 03 2008 12:33 AM I really believe that The Incredible Hulk's box office was hurt by the other hulk movie though, and people out of the loop not realizing that it was completely divorced of that film. Therefor I would assume if they make another one then it will do better. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 03 2008 10:55 AM Sorry to break the news for you RT, The Iron Man trailer IS ON HD on the HD DVD...you just have to wait until the end credits finish...the only differences are the new Dolby TrueHD track, and the BD-Live features... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 03 2008 12:14 PM ...when is the incredible Hulk's release date? (Reply to this) |
on Sep 03 2008 12:19 PM Forget Transformers and Hulk. Maybe Shia could have a cameo with Rorschach and have his finger broken. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 04 2008 11:32 AM Hmm. Ok, thanks LJ. But then how many people have HD DVD and Blu-Ray? (Reply to this) |
|
on Sep 05 2008 06:58 AM I got my HD DVD player for $99 (when Walmart had them on sale)..and now most HD DVDs are around $10...answering your question, around 5% of DVD owners...still, RT was wrong...=p (Reply to this) |
