**Update 4/9/09**  Just got my new No Country Blu-ray from Amazon today.  In the “liner notes” is a mail in rebate offer.  It allows you to submit your UPC from the original DVD or Blu-ray release and a UPC from the new Collector’s Edition and get a $10 rebate.  So, they know they’re screwing us but if you’re one of the 10% of people who actually look at the junk they stuff in DVD cases and want to waste 20 minutes filling out the form and gather the needed proof of purchase you can have a fraction of your money back.  Thanks Disney, Miramax, and Paramount Vantage.

A site I’d never heard of www.entertainmentearth.com has a really great selection of Lebowski "toys". It doesn’t end their they’ve got all kinds of pop culture stuff. Pretty cool site. I ordered the Jesus bobble head.

Here’s a few reviews.

I’ll save you sometime though.  The move looks and sounds good on Blu-Ray but it isn’t really necessary for this type of film.  The extras aren’t too exciting either.  If that wasn’t enough to dissuade you from buying it, why not buy it now!
