Posted on September 27, 2011 by JamesInDigital

I’ve been waiting for this for quite awhile. Since 97-98 when I bought my first DVD player and in truth as far back as the early 90s when I could find no VHS copy to replace my taped off the television version.  Some of this is ground I’ve already covered in previous Treasure Island posts.

Coen Brothers Collection Blu-ray

Posted on July 3, 2011 by JamesInDigital

Coen Brothers – Blu-ray Summer The catalog of quality films from the Coen Brothers has always been somewhat slow to appease it’s fan-base in the non-theatrical sense.

Posted on November 16, 2010 by JamesInDigital

Ok, we have an quite NSFW Red-band trailer of Your Highness courtesy of IGN. So with fair warning of really strong language and thongs, proceed knowing it’s a medieval comedy featuring James Franco, Danny McBride, Zooey Deschanel and the thong belonging to Natalie Portman. So mysognistic as it is I must again point out Natalie Portman in a thong. Good lord this woman is beautiful, I’ve been in love with her forever.

The ratings have dropped from their 1st show and some people are acting like this is surprising. Conan on TBS beat two network backed shows from a basic cable station. This is a big deal.
