Amazon vs. Warner Bros. – Customers Lose

Josh Zyber — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 19:00:55 +0000

Had problems pre-ordering Blu-rays or DVDs from Amazon lately? Perhaps you wanted to book a copy of blockbuster hit ‘The Lego Movie‘ (scheduled for release next week) but were stymied with a “Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available” notice? This all stems back to a petty squabble between Amazon and Warner...

WBShop Now a Division of LexCorp, Apparently

Luke Hickman — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:00:28 +0000

I consider myself a collector, but I’m not an obsessive collector. I don’t feel the need to collect everything associated with something that I love. I’m a specific collector. For example, I love SteelBook packaging, but I don’t buy every movie that’s given a SteelBook Blu-ray release. If I love a movie, I’ll fork out...

Mid-Week Poll: Physical Discs vs. Cloud Streaming

Josh Zyber — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:00:49 +0000

Recently, Warner Bros. announced its Disc-to-Digital initiative, in which the studio will encourage consumers to trade in movies on disc for digital copies stored in a virtual cloud and streamed to internet-connected devices. The program will start with DVDs and eventually move to Blu-rays as well. Do you think this is a good idea? Would...

‘Barry Lyndon’ Aspect Ratio Controversy Solved

Josh Zyber — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 19:00:34 +0000

We home theater fans can be nit-picky types, sometimes obsessing over pixel-by-pixel imperfections in the latest Blu-ray releases. One such controversy erupted at the end of May when Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Barry Lyndon’ was released on the format in an aspect ratio slightly different than what people assumed it should be. After much arguing, a definitive...

Just in Time for ‘Green Lantern’ – Pseudoscientific Crap!

Dick Ward — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:00:50 +0000

Just when you thought it was safe to dislike ‘Green Lantern’ on its own merits, you can enjoy a whole new reason to look down on the movie. It’s the first movie to take advantage of the partnership between Warner Bros and the bullshit artists over at EFX Performance. You’ve almost certainly seen the advertisements...

Statuesque: The Warner Bros. Lot

Drew Taylor — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:00:47 +0000

As the Oscar derby – tightly contested and wide open mere weeks ago – gets whittled down to a remaining few, it’s looking less and less likely that Warner Bros. has a dog in this fight. What’s so fascinating about the situation is that the studio is finding itself let down by a solid workhorse...

(Not) The Chosen One

Josh Zyber — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:00:34 +0000

News circulated recently that Warner Bros. is planning to reboot the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ franchise by making a new movie without any involvement from creator Joss Whedon. This sounds like the worst idea in the history of all things ever. What worse way could there be to alienate a series’ fan base than by...
