Major League (SE) – April 10

Often times while watching MAJOR LEAGUE in a drunken funk, me and my friends (which consists of my dead mom and a

cat) will assign ourselves two characters and recite every line that is said by the characters. If you flub a

line, you have a shot. If you completely miss a line, you have two shots. If you pass out before the movie, you

get gang signs and swastikas written on you with a Sharpie. This “Wild Thing Edition” supposedly comes with a

“turf cover”, but don’t try to smoke it. Actually, go ahead and let me know if that works.

Includes:

• 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
• English DD2.0 and DD5.1 Surround
• French Mono
• Commentary by writer/director David Ward and producer Chris Chesser
• Featurettes:
  • My Kinda Team
  • A Major League Look at Major League
  • Bob Uecker: Just A Bit Outside
  • A Tour of Cerrano’s Locker
• Alternate Ending with Filmmaker Introduction
• Photo Gallery

Bobby – April 10

BOBBY, the greatest movie of all time with the greatest cast of all time, directed by……the guy who directed

MEN AT WORK (wah, wah, wahhhhh). Actually, I love MEN AT WORK and have been a fan of Emilio Estevez for a long

time, so I’ll ease up. There’s only a couple of extras and the DVD will be available in separate Widescreen and

Full Screen editions with English DD5.1 Surround audio with English and Spanish subtitles. There are two

featurettes: Bobby: The Making of an American Epic and Eye-witness Accounts from the Ambassador

Hotel.

Caption the Pic Winner!!!

Congratulations to Schmoe Zagorakis for his very funny caption for the 300 pic below. Though I,

and most of the JoBlo.com staff, have a real love jones for Natalie Portman, they say if you love something

enough, set it free. What that has to do with anything, not sure, but it sounded good enough at the time.

Zagorakis, please shoot me an email here or

private message via MYJOBLO.COM to claim your CLERKS 2 (SE) prize.

You have until Sunday or you’ll forfeit your prize and I will give it to the first homeless person I see.

Congrats again!
