New DVD Releases for 25 Sept 2007
These are the dreadful final days we can take the release list from DVDJournal.com for granted.
- Alone in the Dark: Unrated Director’s Cut (2005)
Stars Tara Reid. Strike one.
Based on a video game. Strike two.
IMDB synopsis: “This plot synopsis is empty. ”
YOU’RE OUT!
- Dr. Giggles (1992)
Dark Horse Comics fans will recognize the comic tie-in here.
- Knocked Up (2007)
This is the release of the week. Looks like a great movie. Got a lot of good reviews. Everyone loved it. Made a small fortune at the box office.
- Robert Klein: The HBO Specials 1975-2005 (4-disc set)
Wait, HBO existed in 1975? I thought it wasn’t around until a couple years later? I was too young to watch those specials, but I’ve always heard good things about them. Bring on the sniglets! Wait, that was a different HBO guy from the time, wasn’t it? Nevermind.
The Sniglet guy was Robert Rich Hall, right? By an insane coincidence, he’s in the news this week, for being Moe the Bartender’s model.
Maybe next week will be better? FANTASTIC FOUR 2 is coming out, at least.

Rich. Rich Hall. I used to love his stand-up, in and around the time he was on SNL. Of course I was 15 at the time, but still….

Yup. Rich Hall. I remember him and Taylor Negron doing a cameo in One Crazy Summer, and not much after that.
And if HBO is going to do sets of its comedy specials, I would love to see a set of Rodney Dangerfield’s Young Comedians Specials.

Knocked up was one of the funnier movies this year. I think it’s well worth the price of admission.
As for sniglets, I used to love those! I still remember two of my favorites:
Cheeriomagnetization: When you have 2 Cheerios left in a bowl of milk, and inexplicably, you can’t pry them apart.
Neutron Peas: In a TV dinner, when the peas are still ice cold while you’ve microwaved the rest of the dinner into a radioactive mess.

Three strikes indeed. Too bad about Alone in the Dark.
The first two games are classics. Arguably the seminal titles in the horror genre for video games. Great atmosphere for the relatively primitive graphics of the time (but still pretty, I love all my DOS games).
The next week’s better because FF 2 is coming out on DVD?!?!? Maybe we’re talking about different Fantastic Four 2’s. For me, looks like the next two weeks are expense free on the dvd front.

The Unrated, Unprotected, Un-whatever edition of Knocked Up is my release of the week. Great movie
I’m pretty sure that I have a couple of Sniglets books stored away in a box some where. I think that my favorite was either called Air Snorkeling (what I have been calling it for years) or Table Snorkeling (found if air snorkeling is googled) - frantic gesticulations when one bites into hot food and has to take in air to cool it off.
