Title | DVD Release(s) | Blu-Ray Release(s) |
---|---|---|
9 | Deluxe | |
Ally McBeal: Season Two | DVD | |
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans | DVD | Blu-Ray |
Battlestar Galactica | Complete Series DVD | Complete Series Blu-Ray and season two |
Comments: | The previous complete series box was more elaborate and collectable, but did not include “The Plan.” This box is less fancy and includes “The Plan.” | |
Blood Ties | Complete Series DVD | Complete series Blu-Ray |
Brothers Five | Blu-Ray | |
Comments: | Alex: Another Wuxia film from the Shaw Brothers. It’s not one of the well known classics… at least not that I know of. But, then again, just about all the Shaw Brothers classics had their names horribly changed when they were released in the US (such as 36th Chamber of Shaolin being renamed Shaolin Master Killer). | |
Cocoon | Blu-Ray | |
Code Geass Leouch of the Rebellion: R2, Part 4 | DVD. | |
The Delightful Forest | Blu-Ray | |
Comments: | Alex: The second of our trifecta of Shaw Brothers films, and one with (going by the cover art) a misleading title. | |
Dirt! The Movie | DVD | |
Dreamscape | Blu-Ray | |
Hart and Soul: The Hart Family Anthology | DVD | |
Comments: | Alex: Collection of various matches involving the Hart Family during their career in the WWE. There isn’t as much Owen in here as I’d like. Then again, I think Owen and Davey Boy Smith could each merit their own 3-disk sets. | |
The Heroic Ones | Blu-Ray | |
Comments: | Alex: Yet more Shaw Brothers. | |
Hidamari Sketch X 365: Complete Collection | DVD | |
Comments: | Alex: I had to look this one up. This is a anime series about a bunch of artists living togeather in an apartment complex. Very slice-of-life. It’s adapted from a yonkoma (four-panel) comic strip. | |
Jade | Blu-Ray | |
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens Complete Collection | DVD | |
Comments: | Alex: This looks like a very odd comedy series, involving Shinto dieties attempting to collect worshippers, while one of them has apparently converted to Catholicism. | |
The Lord of the Rings (live action) | Trilogy | |
Comments: | This includes the theatrical releases ONLY, not the extended editions. | |
The Lord of the Rings (1978 animated) | DVD | Blu-Ray |
Lucky Star Anime Legends Collections | DVD | |
Comments: | Series brick of the first of the two series that Kyoto Animation worked on between the first season and second seasons of Haruhi (the other being K-On). | |
Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Season 2, Part 1 | DVD. | |
Murder.com | DVD | |
The Natural | Blu-Ray | |
Naruto Shippuden Vol. 8 | DVD | |
The New Adventures of Black Beauty: Season Two | DVD | |

The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) | Blu-Ray | |
The Unusuals | DVD |
Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “snag yourself the complete Battlestar Galactica if you haven’t already.” Alex says, “I agree with Blaine, though if you’re into wrestling, the Hart collection is probably worth picking up.”

Is this altered comment format more readable? I’d still prefer to find some way to put an extra border around an entry and its comments, but now the list is at least shorter to scroll through.
It’s not bad, if you could maybe offset the comments by a column or leave out the “Comments” so that’s just a blank field I think it’d be even better.
I agree with Scifi^2, just leave out the “Comments:” text in the first column.
I like this format better than the one from last week.
Yeah, I’d go maybe (and I hope the formatting holds…):
| DVD | BluRay | Comments
Lord of the Rings | X | X | This is the complete live action blah blah blah
Hope that makes sense – I’d pay 50 cents for a preview button right about now!
Gah! that should be:

Name | DVD | BluRay | Comments
Lord of the Rings | X | X | This is the complete live action blah blah blah
I hope.
Ok, so this thing doesn’t like whitespaces. You get the idea, though.
It like work better like so:
Title in a cell that is colspan=2, then DVD / BR in a single cell
Comments on the next line, but just leave one blank cell first (just containing a & nbsp; ) and have the comments be colspan=”3″. Leave off the word “comments”, too, the indentation alone should enough to denote it.
Using that overlapping column for the end of the title and the beginning of the comments should help stop the title from being squished. It could further be helped with hard limits on the column size for DVD/BR.

(sorry if it posted twice, it seemed to sit there and time out the first attempt)
I like that you are playing around with it, but I don’t think it’s there yet.
The title should be more prominent, then the comment, and the dvd/blueray section should be less prominent. Right now bluray/dvd is by far the biggest section when it should be the smallest.
The title is hard to read cause it so squished to the left hand side.
Maybe reduce the color of the font, on the comments fields. Maybe a darker grey?
If we’re going to use this format, the chart lines need to be clearer (at least, as I see it). I find it a bit confusing and aesthetically awkward.
Absolutely– but perhaps disregard the final season.
