Small tidbit:  Johnny has won a "Cancer Bites" 2012 Fright Night award for

Favorite Actor I would like to “Sink my Teeth Into”: Johnny Depp

 

Unfortunately, the vampire movie of the year went to Breaking Dawn pt. 1 rather than DS     Ian Sommerhalder won for TV or movie vampire.

A list of winners:
Cancer Bites / Fright Night Awards

I'm an Amazon Prime member, and pre-ordered HODS/NODS from them.  Usually I should've had them delivered by release day, which would've been today.  However, in between following Hurricane Sandy's track on Sunday, I was checking Amazon and noticing that they hadn't been preparing my items for shipment.  Ditto yesterday.  I finally got an e-mail apologizing for the delayed shipment, but that it's on its way now.  So, I wonder if this had anything to do with Sandy.  If so, folks might get their Amazon shipments a day or two late.  But at least it's on the way!

These were awesome, thanks MB!  However, JLM's back is quite nice, as well.  I wonder what 26.2 means??  I hope we can post thumbnails here, because I think my screen cap is too big to embed:



(awesome- it worked!)

I just caught up with the last episode, and am really enjoying this show so far.  I'm so glad it's been picked up for a full season!  I'm sorry I don't have it DVR'd- I streamed it from cbs.com.  Perhaps you could take a screen shot from the streaming video?  The shirtless scene is the first scene- btw I enjoyed it too    

Jonny Lee is a doll- it really is too bad that he didn't get a bit of a larger role in DS

Wow, that is a great price.  I do already have it (and with the Frid autograph, so no complaints), but I think I spent more like $379.  It's also really great to see the DS OS get the visibility of being the Amazon Deal of the Day!

Who's watching this show?  I am really enjoying it and hope it succeeds.  It's fun to be able to hear Jonny Lee using his natural accent, as I've mainly known him before this for his roles in DS and Dexter.  I think there have been some complaints that the show was "stealing" too much from the British series, Sherlock, which is also set in modern day (which I caught up on last summer and really liked, too).  But I think there is room for both, especially since most Americans are more likely to see Elementary than Sherlock.  Good luck, Jonny!

Villafane Studios has done an awesome pumpkin carving of Johnny's Barnabas Collins     Check it out:

All: Be aware that watching the "focus point" features is not the same as watching "Maximum Movie" mode. The latter is a picture-in-picture commentary/documentary thing, which looks like it has a lot of great stuff in it (I only watched the first couple minutes so far; I had to finally turn the thing off and get to bed...)

I find it kind of odd that no trailers for the movie are included on either the Blu-ray or the DVD. Maybe they figured that having them on there would only highlight how off-the-mark their marketing campaign for the movie was!

Thanks for the tip on this, KMR!  I got home late last night after a ~13 hr. workday, and only got a chance to watch the "focus points" and the "deleted scenes", hoping I'll have more time tonight.  Like Brandon, I was a little confused at first and didn't realize the "focus points" were actually featurettes that I could watch by themselves.  I thought they were some sort of interactive pop-ups that occurred during the movie or something, and almost didn't watch them, thinking I didn't have time.  But I finally figured it out (mainly, I knew there was supposed to be an extra about Alice Cooper, and didn't see it at first and I was getting mad, until I realized that it was one of the "focus points").  So now I will look to see how to find the "maximum movie mode", which I don't even think I saw last night so I might not have even known it existed! 

Haha, I didn't even realize there weren't any trailers.  I don't like too many trailers on a DVD, but sometimes I do like to watch a few that may look interesting, and sometimes I learn of movies I didn't even know about.  But I guess this proves that if they're not there, I don't miss them too much
