Warner Bros. Embarrasses Self, Everyone, With New “Disc-to-Digital” Program

Michael Weinberg, writing for Public Knowledge:

The head of Warner Home Entertainment Group thinks that an easy, safe way to convert movies you already own on DVD to other digital formats is to take your DVDs, find a store that will perform this service, drive to that store, find the clerk who knows how to perform the service, hope that the “DVD conversion machine” is not broken, stand there like a chump while the clerk “safely” converts your movie to a digital file that may only play on studio-approved devices, drive home, and hope everything worked out.  Oh, and the good news is that you would only need to pay a reasonable (per-DVD?) price for this pleasure.

If Apple releases a new iteration of the Apple TV tomorrow, that and this little tidbit should be enough to get me and Scott on a jag about technology in the next episode we record. - Chris

    Stomp Tokyo quote on Gamera / Gamera 2 blu-ray

    15523_back

    Looks like Stomp Tokyo was quoted on the back of the Gamera/Gamera 2 blu-ray set as well. That brings our quote total up to a staggering 3 titles.

    Here’s the original review of Gamera 2.

    The other films for which we were quoted on the art: Gamera 3 and The Incredible Hulk Returns. How you like us now?

    tjmhw: Stomp Tokyo review of “Gamera 3” quoted on the Blu-Ray cover on Flickr. Nearly 12 years later, the Stomp Tokyo review of Gamera 3 lands us on a Blu-ray cover. Always nice to be quote-mined, even a decade later.
