    The Family Guy set with the giant Stewie head is more obnoxious looking, though at least there wour not getting the same dame video in 4 ways.

    Apparently the time machine technology broke down a bit, and the best they can do is send back a head and some how-to DVD's on destroying the planet.

    I understand that the endoskeletal head is an iconic piece from the movie, but there's got to be something else that can carry over the Terminator theme.


    I SO WANT a liquid metal case, with the screaming face of the T-1000 sticking out of it, making the same expression when he was dunked into the molten steel. I would buy that in a New York minute.

    For me, it's a tough sell, these "special" DVD thingies. Now, the entire LOTR set in a leather-bound book-like package with a very well made strap and latch, then you have yourself a deal.

    @Kaiser-Machead:
    Which version? All three releases have completely different bonus features. The 4-disc packs look pretty nice in the over-sleeve, like a set of antique books. I'm not sure if an actual leather-bound case is a good idea, though, as that could end up going moldy in humid environments. Also, if the strap/latch stick out from the surface, they could damage any case that it's located next to on the DVD shelf. If it was mold-resistant and the strap/latch could be set into the surface so it wouldn't press into the next case, it might be a nice idea. You know other than the fact that they'd probably get animal rights protests.

    The what now? All I'm saying is that if I'm going to add a fourth set of the LotR trilogy to my DVD shelf, I don't want it damaging any of my other pretties. Or decomposing.

    Why is this environmentally devastating? I disagree. Since the consumer is likely to keep the decorative head for decades, this is far more environmentally friendly than standard packaging which almost always gets tossed right away.

    @bandit: I don't really know of anyone who buys jewel cases for their DVD's and tosses out the actual packaging/sleeves. It really doesn't make any sense.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I'm with you, K-M. I treasure my prodigious piles of polyethylene packaging.


    While I have heard of the occasional oddball out there who will transfer their DVDs to sleeves and then actually discard all the hard shell storage cases--arghhdkkk--oops, sorry, involuntary spasm just at the thought--I not only am proud of how much volume the DVD cases command in my apartment but am actually designing extensive shelving just to showcase them.

    @bosskev: I seriously don't see the point of owning movies or even music for that matter.


    When I walk into somebody's house, and I see huge shelves full of disks, I can't help but to hear the giant CHA CHING sound from all that wasted money. I also start seeing the word "sucker" showing up on the person's forehead..

    @timak: I wholly disagree with this. Some people enjoy having a library that's readily accessible for repeat views/listening, and some people do not want to rely completely on Netflix rentals to come in the mail, or rely on rental music or random streaming, torrents, or our crackwhore friend, FM radio.


    I own all of my music and movies, because I listen/watch these things with enough frequency to justify the prices I paid for them, and that is the point. Perhaps owning is less of a priority to others, but this doesn't automatically make those other people, who do find it higher priority, suckers.

    Exactly the point! Nothing says "I'm cool" like needless extravagance. Say, you wanna see my Rolex?


    (OK, so it's not a Rolex, it's a Ralex, just don't look that closely. But I'll still impress you with my breathtaking DVD collection!)


    (From which, of course, I've carefully cleaned off all remnants of the Blockbuster Previously Viewed stickers...)

    Spending $15-20 every couple of weeks months on new releases is a serious waste of money. I could've spent it on cocaine!

    @bandit:
    I've only ever seen one DVD collection that was rolodexed instead of left in their original cases, and to me, that means that this head-case is more environmentally friendly than the carbon-neutral cardboard crap-cases that the Futurama and Wall-E movies were released in, which are damage-magnets, and which leave me wanting to replace all five of them with _real_ DVD cases (you know, ones that won't scuff up the DVD read surfaces).

    @Kevin Kronic: I bet the head is just crappy chromed plastic though. The only reason they're doing this is they have a bunch of extra discs around from previous printing, and somebody said "I know a good way to get rid of them, let's put 'em in a box set! Never mind that a box set generally has a series of movies, people love T2 so much they'll want to own four copies of it!"

    The jaw should open and the whole head should become a DVD player. Then it might be cool.
