Well... I finally saw Shrek the Third and I must say, I thought it was HILARIOUS! Truely was a big laugh fest! But still, I think it would've been better if their babies were a secret.

Well, I guess a lot of people would have seen it by the time a lot of the commercials were still showing.

Here's something else that was funny...

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT...

When the villains start to take over the kingdom of Far Far Away, practically everyone in the theater burst into laughter at the scene where the shop named "Ye Olde Bootery" was changed to "Ye Olde Hooters", BUT there was a little girl sitting a couple of seats away from me with her mom, and she turned to her mom and asked "what was so funny about THAT?"

Boy am I glad I'm old enough to understand stuff like that!

Shooooo. Close one. Thanks for the warning. Almost read that posts for a moment there.

lol, now THAT clinched it. I WILL be renting this in 3 months when it comes to DVD. I'm shocked on the fact that they aren't trying to capitalize on this by putting it out 2 weeks AFTER it was in theaters. Oh yeah, they wanna squeeze all the life out of it that they possibly can. How silly of me not to realize that sooner.

You mean it'll be on DVD in just three short months?

I wouldn't rule it out.

In the days of VHS, there was usually a six-month wait between theatrical release and home video release.

Today, a lot of studios want to get their new product out on the streets and into the home as quick as they can.

Example: The Departed opened in November of last year. By February, it was not only on DVD, but STILL playing in theatres! Casino Royale also came out in November, and by March, you could buy it at your local Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

So I predict by fall we'll see a lot of summer blockbusters out on DVD, Blu-Ray, HD...

Actually, I just read an interview with Seth Rogen, who is the male lead in Knocked Up, which just opened Friday. He said he's already working with the director on extras for the DVD!

Some directors do think ahead to DVD while they're shooting their film. Some will shoot material specifically for the DVD in their down time, and even shoot extra footage, knowing it probably won't make it into the final, theatrical cut, but will end up on the DVD.

Kevin Smith and Robert Rodriguez are two DVD-friendly directors who come to mind.

Yeah, I love directors who do that!
