January 15th is the just announced release date for the Family Guy "Blue Farce" - apparently an extended version of the season six premier that is a protracted sendup of Star Wars.
I'd link to a trailer or some clips, but hey! Fox has taken everything related to this down off of YouTube. And of course, the Fox media site is lagging their press releases with no coverart, trailers, stills, or anything related to this release available. So enjoy some mildly descriptive text instead!
Featuring hysterical cameos from Rush Limbaugh, Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo and Helen Reddy, Family Guy Presents: “Blue Harvest” is “a dead-on homage that hilariously picks apart Star Wars, along with much of real life” (Associated Press). The DVD features more than four minutes of never-before-seen material; an uncensored track; animatics; commentaries; interviews with Seth MacFarlane and George Lucas...
Man, these guys are bundling hard on the SE release. T-shirts, 3-D glasses, trading cards (meh), and, of course 3D footage to go with the glasses...

An interesting bit of news I stumbled across: a new Braveheart release on DVD. Uninspiring audio, but a new features list - I don't think, from a cursory scan of Amazon, that all of these have been seen previously...

Urggh. 42 disc (dvd) set, includes all 20 original films, plus Casino Royale. In their own words:
"Presented on two-disc special edition DVDs spanning 42 discs, each mission grants all-access to the chronicles of the agent's storied career from the Bond archives, including deleted scenes, rare interviews, documentaries, featurettes, interactive film guides, music videos, audio commentaries and more."

(click the cover to expand, btw) I know nothing about this movie other than that the concept sounds intriguing, and that it hits DVD October 23rd. Directed/produced/co-written by Arquette, Fox describes the film as an homage to slasher flicks by Wes Craven & Tobe Hooper. The plot is right from the slasher playbook: group of teens stalked and killed. But the "Arquette Homage" element is intriguing. Calling David Annandale: do you anything about this?
