I've lost a LOT of respect for Willis after hearing all that. Smith may not be the most technically inclined director, but if Willis didn't want to work with him or do the movie, why the fuck did he sign on?!

I agree with MZ - the pricing on BR's is fucking stupid. I'm NOT paying $30 for a movie like Cop Out - hell, I'm not paying $30 for ANY movie unless it comes with a red-headed hooker that's already been pre-paid to "go around the world"

Aye, my respect for him has dropped too. If you don't wanna do the fucking movie, don't ruddy well do it. If you've signed up, then put in a good performance, or just have a laugh - don't be a dick about it.
And no wonder the cover art looks so bad - it's all photoshopped bullshit - not even a photoshopped photo of the actual dude, it's a shit cut 'n' paste jobby.
As for pricing - there are a number of BRs I'd wanna get, but not for £15 to £20 (the latter makes me wonder how shops like HMV survive, quite frankly). Cop Out for example - I'd pay £6 for that, as it's really only the Maximum Comedy Mode that I'm actually interested in (I look forward to hearing more of the drip-drip of information regarding the production of Cop Out ... either in podcasts or on stand up shows).
Some movies I'll pay full price for - like Toy Story 3, or Avatar, because not only are the packages well worth the price, they're the sort of flicks I wanna pre-order anyway.
I have had a couple of decent prices on BR - for instance:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2 disc BR) - £8 in HMV (on a sale)
The Warriors: Director's Cut (BR ... just a shame it was the Dir Cut  ) - £6 in HMV (on a sale)
The Book of Eli (BR) - £7
But goddamn it's rare for a BR - of a good movie - to drop below £11, even when the DVD counterpart is like £5. If they want more discs selling they need to breakdown the sales prices after the first couple of months on sale at a gradual pace like they do with DVD.
