This Week in DVD

It's another slow week, so we'll be in and out of here quickly.

The Social Network: Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher team up to offer a take on the creation of Facebook. The scary thing is, if you're on Facebook, somebody somewhere can probably figure out whether or not you've seen "The Social Network." And how much you paid for it. And what you got at the concession counter.

Piranha: If it ain't in 3-D, what's the use of watching this at home?

Alpha and Omega: Why in the world would you name a kids' cartoon after what sounds like a fraternity rush week event?

The Green Hornet: Nothing against the old serial--which is the content of this VCI release--but that's been available before. Meanwhile, if the new movie isn't gonna get the 1960s TV show on DVD, what will?

Hot in Cleveland Season 1: Betty White=Money. Therefore, I expect this to the number-two-selling TV show on DVD OF ALL TIME. Trailing only "Tabitha."

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Season 4 Volume 2: It's been a looooong time coming for this final batch of episodes. Wouldn't it be funny if Fox produced a super-limited number of sets, then made this go OOP in like a month? No? No, it wouldn't would it? Not even a little?

All in the Family Season 8: There's a funny thread on the Shout! Factory message boards about a DVD encoding issue on Season 7, with fans complaining about it, the Shout rep getting defensive, more fans defending the company, and fans still griping about the issue. I just thought I'd mention it because it is sort of amusing. One would think it won't happen again with Season 8, but one never can be sure.

Louis CK: Hilarious: I was going to go the easy route and watch this on Comedy Central, even knowing it would be censored, until I noticed the run time on the disc is 84 minutes. Comedy Central is showing it in a 60-minute time slot with commercials. Uh, I'll wait for the DVD, thank you.
