(Click on the "DVD" thread icon to find threads going back to the beginning of the year...here are links to the new DVD lists for the previous four weeks: 10/30 - 11/6 - 11/13 - 11/20)
Hello.
With Black Friday's hangover still hurting our heads (and I hope you bought something from Amazon during THEIR Black Friday special!) there's a REALLY light load of new DVD releases coming this Tuesday. I guess they want to keep the good "gift" releases a little closer to Christmas and figure you might need a week with less temptation to rebalance your checkbook. Actually, I have no idea, but that SOUNDS pretty good. This week's tally: 252 DVDs, 5 HD DVD, 3 Blu-Ray, AND 1 UMD!
For those of you who HAVEN'T been here before, these lists work like so:
We got the big list on one page! We get them from Amazon, and they'll take you TO Amazon. Hovering over links should provide you with Amazon's current price.
CLICKING on links takes you to the Amazon shopping cart with a friendly referral from The W - consider making your purchase - ANY purchase - through us, as it'll place a few coins in our tip jar!
Because Amazon sometimes can't come correct with the information about certain movies or TV shows, you will see some exposition from me (or, more likely, a bad joke) in addition to the listing along with IMDb icons (which can be clicked to take you to a movie's IMDb listing) or tv.com icons (which can be clicked to take you to the relevant episode list from tv.com)!
All links will open new windows, so you can click, look, and then close to come right back here!
If you don't mind my asking for some promotion, please tell a friend (or vote this thread up Digg/Propeller/Newsvine/Reddit/&c. with a click of the icon(s) of your choice at the bottom of this post) about this post because it takes me a long time and I'm a big fan of more eyeballs! We're also happy for you to email this link to others as well - a lot of people do that!
Please feel free to add a reply and share your two cents about any of the listings you see here - show off your impressive knowledge, share your opinion about something you've seen, something you're looking forward to seeing, or make your own crappy jokes which are better than mine!
We also hope that if you buy something, you come back and tell us what you thought about it! This hardly ever happens, but it's always appreciated when it does!
If you have something to say but don't want to say it publicly (or register for the board), you can also email me direct at CRZ.DVD@gmail.com!
Our pick of the week would be a dead giveaway even if it DIDN'T have practically the entire week to itself:
PICK OF THE WEEK: Futurama - Bender's Big Score (The W at Amazon) (direct to DVD, 2007) Welcome back, old friend. Too bad it isn't on my TV every week, but I'm happy to take what you're giving.

I saw Behind The Green Door in high school--and yes, I mean literally IN high school, during a class. I went to an unusual high school. Certain scenes from that still stick in my mind. I suppose that's a sign of how young, impressionable, horny, etc.
