I was passing through Best Buy over the weekend when I came across the huge new box set — The Sopranos - The Complete Series. I somehow missed the press release for this so I thought I’d cover it in Cool Stuff.

The album also includes 16-pages of editorial detailing the entire award-winning series. The set is loaded with over 3½ hours of never-before-seen bonus [...]

Iron Man hit DVD store shelves this week, but Paramount is offering eight different exclusives depending on what retail store you make your purchase. I know that Adam Quigley kinda covered this in This Week in DVD, but I thought this might be big enough to deserve its own posting. Target’s Iron Man Mark III Mask giftset is clearly the coolest. Lets take a look.

Target - Target Deluxe Edition includes exclusive Mark III mask packaging. Available on both the Ultimate 2-Disc Edition and 2-Disc Blu-ray.

After we win the war against the machines, what are we going to do with all the endoskeleton remains? How about we make the skulls into a DVD player? A Japanese company made such a creation during the release of Terminator 3. Much like anything on the internet, the photos are circulating around the web years later. Too bad the player doesn’t have component out.

On November 25th 2008, Criterion will finally be releasing a Director-Approved Double-Dic Special Edition of Wes Anderson’s first feature film Bottle Rocket. If you haven’t seen Bottle Rocket, than you are really missing out. It is Anderson before he too eccentric to tell a totally relatable story. And don’t get me wrong, I love Anderson’s work. But you have to admit, film by film, they got weirder, quirky, more involved to the point that it becomes hard to relate to three brothers taking a spiritual journey through India, when it’s really just the same story of family he’s been telling through all his films. That said, I’ve also grown to [...]

With summer approaching and its plethora of open window/outdoor Net grazing, parties and, of course, blockbuster movies, we’ve decided to create a glorious soundtrack-themed Muxtape for our readership. All of the awesome songs streamed on the first Slashfilm Muxtape come from films we dig sans a certain mission statement from Patton Oswalt. I’ve arranged the Muxtape to go from enjoyably cheesy summer movie nostalgia explosion to Nextlevelsville. Hope you guys and gals like it, more Slashfilm movie anthems to come. And if you want even more jams, here’s my personal Muxtape page. Awww.

“We are, like, major.”
The day all hardcore Kimya Dawson fans and Chan Marshall’s Miami hangers-on have dreaded is here, as the Juno Soundtrack has taken Soundscan’s gold medal, with 65,000 units sold. And take note, because this is the first time a soundtrack for a Best Picture nominee has dangled its legs from atop the flagpole since Titanic did it a decade ago. And in a possible Juno-boost, soundtrack artist Cat Power’s latest album, the swell Jukebox, debuted at number 12, her highest sales week in a long career.
As of today, Juno, which cost less than $5 million or $10 million to make depending on the source, has stuffed [...]
