Upcoming DVD releases

[Guest Askewniverse]

There's a ton of new DVDs coming out, but instead of clogging up the folder with a separate thread for each DVD, I thought it would be better to post the releases in a single thread. Feel free to add info on any upcoming DVDs which may be of interest.

damn I'm gonna be buying alot these next few months...

[Brush with Greatness 0]

Wow.

 

 

As for Fast Times, how much different will it be than the original. All those features sound exactly the same.

 

Unless of course they include the deleted Phoebe Cates sex scene in the pool shack.

[BlackFlagg 0]

for the Fast Times SE and Dazed & Confused Flashback Edition DVD's, Deep Discount DVD has a double pack with both of them for $20.40, seperately they'd be $13.99, so if you were planning on getting em both the double pack'll save about $8

[Hank Kingsley 0]

...holy shit! Shawshank, Raging Bull, Spiderman 2? Thank god I have a job.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Sweet, Spider-Man 2 comes out on my birthday!

[AndrewTS 0]

I had regretted selling my Raging Bull DVD (I got 20 bucks out of it since it seems they were quite rare)--but now I don't have to worry about tracking one down again.

[DMann2003 0]

[Guest El Satanico]

ummmm.....WHAT? Where did you read about this? I know Jennifer Jason Leigh has a sex scene in the pool shack, but that isn't deleted. Who did Phobe Cates get down with in the pool shack, and why was it deleted?

::marks out for Home Movies on DVD::

I just simultaneously orgasmed, shit my pants, and kicked my mom right in the face...

These are Fortune Star/FOX's fourth set of Hong Kong films, they all retail for less than $9.99 US each. This time, they even got Mono soundtracks (For all the purists) along with the DTS and 5.1 tracks. They come out September 7th.

Fuck, my bad, meant to say Jennifer Jason Leigh, but I just can't think about Fast Times without Phoebe Cates popping into my head.

 

But yeah, the original sex scene with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Rat was deleted. If they would have included it, the move would have been rated NC-17 and all that shit. The one they show is actually a more tamed down version.

 

I'll try to find a source.

 

EDIT: Among, others, the review for the original "Fast Times" special edition at dvd.ign.com

 

"I was looking forward to seeing the whole pool house sex scene which was cut to avoid an X-rating. I'm not ashamed."

This is odd. So Jennifer Jason Leigh had sex with Rat in the original version? In the finished film she doesn't at all. I do remember the scene with her and Damone in the pool shack, where he shoots the load in about 10 seconds. Maybe that is what was deleted?

I am sure he means Damone. And quite frankly, that was a pretty exlicit scene for two "minors" well at least they it was eluded that they were minors. Jennifer Jason Leigh was one cooperative chick for that movie.

[the max 0]

I want to know what the deal is with this version of Fast Times, too. I have the special edition already.

 

So far:

 

Shawshank Redemption

Spiderman 2

Arrested Development (awesome fucking show)

Mr. Show: Season 4

The Bourne Supremacy

Rocky collection (I'll just smash Rocky V)

 

I'm sure that more will be released soon. Isn't season 8 of Friends coming out soon? 24: Season 3 comes out in December, but I have to let my girlfriend buy it for me.

damn was she hot in that scene or what?

 

Anyway, I have Dazed and Fast Times already (orginal versions), they're good enough for me since I don't access the extra shit anyway on any of my DVDs...definently will get Shawshank, can't wait for Spider-Man2, Shrek 2 for the family and Bourne Supremacy...

The images on the CD-Roms were scanned from copies in the private collection of Marvel editor Ralph Macchio
