Mediabook Doomsday Blu-ray Mediabook [Austria]

Thank you Snowblood for making me aware of this one. You could say that I am a "bit" of a fan of Rhona Mitra, so it pains me to have to post details about this

But this was limited to 10,000 and the film itself is a must, IMO, for you "Apocalyptic" film flick fans. And, um, did I say Rhona was in it? I just picked this up myself through a family member, and am stoked

HD Trailer:

Ok, ok, here we go-pics courtesy of "Sammlerstucke" website.

Really? I heard it sucked pretty bad so I never bothered with it. Me thinks I am going to have to rent it this weekend

Cheers

P.S. Rhona is HOT, and I loved her in Hollow Man :oohyeah:

Disclaimer: I do not enjoy seeing the treatment of women such as is found in the particular scene of Hollow Man I am referring to, but in that scene she has just gotten out of the shower and is nekkid ---- giggity giggity

this film kicks-ass,it's an excellent bit of entertainment.

digitalbabe · Aug 11, 2010

Crash-this is one of those where you just watch it for what it is. If you're a fan of this woman, it's a must see. An Oscar winner it is not-but despite the fact that I am not usually into any kind of gore, I really enjoyed this one. The AQ is also not half-bad, and she kicks ass in this flick

I understand the scene from the perspective of how twisted Kevin Bacon's character had become, but I think it was unnecessary to take it as far as they did. A simple "in the room" peeping tom scene would have done the same ........ and she still would have been nekkid

I am into a bit of gore in movies, the slasher kind where gender is not a factor as everyone gets hacked up equally, but I am not into the stereotypical female bashing as a necessary component of the storyline

Hey Crash-yes, I could not agree more with the lack of necessity for some of these cruel scenes.

I was actually referring to Doomsday with my reply. But I agree, some scenes are thrown in to be gratuitious. I need to rewatch Hollow Man for the specific scene you are mentioning. In "The Life of David Gale", Rhona plays an opposite character to the one she portrays in Hollow Man-in the latter she is a very manipulating (and sexy) character, and here a specific scene is deliberately instigated by her, for instance.

In Doomsday, she is tortured by loons, but the good news is, she is a warrior, and gets her revenge. The violence and gore is definitely gratuitious in Doomsday, but given the story of the virus-infected population and subsequent "insanity" of the people it makes sense. She is a daredevil in this flick, and her gender comes second to her character's ability to "fight her ass off", to say it colloquially. So, the character is definitely paramount to the story-she just "happens to be" a female. I love tough, smart female leads, and this one, albeit being an action role (and not a meaty, Oscar-worthy performance), helped set her up as a female actress that is not afraid of taking on roles traditionally played by "tough guy" dudes, which is cool.

Opps on the mix-up of movies, must have just been focused on replay the Hollow Man scene in my mind :naughty:

Definately going to have to get Doomsday as I feel victim to the critics and reviewers, something I almost never do, and so have never watched it. I think it is awesome when females take on roles like you are speaking about as the term "kick ass" is definately not one that should be reserved for males.

To boot, you get the action candy and the eye candy all rolled up into one

Hollow man, now thats an old flick! I do want this digibook now tho!

digitalbabe · Aug 11, 2010

"Action Candy"...you're slayin' me

digitalbabe · Aug 11, 2010

Wreck-yeah, definitely worth a rental at least. Inet had it for $10 a while back, but some reported that there was some strange sound encoding issue with the Canada version (something about the center channel), so I'd rent the US version if you can. I saw a Youtube video about the Media Book and of course I thought it was "hot", because I am a fracken Geek (and to think in HS, I was a nerd+a jock). Now I have all bases covered: Nerd, Jock, Geek, LOL

digitalbabe · Aug 11, 2010

Some "eye candy"

Used Imageshack, Wreck, no worries

digitalbabe · Aug 11, 2010

And now I am gettin' outta this thread, before I, myself, go up in flames of "heat" exhaustion

digitalbabe · Aug 28, 2010

Mine is purchased and on the way soon-woot!

Wreck · Aug 28, 2010

where'd you buy yours from? The link from the OP?

digitalbabe · Aug 29, 2010

Wreck yeah family member picked it up from that store...

karl01 · Apr 30, 2011

what sort of price is this worth one going on ebay at the minutes

digitalbabe · Apr 30, 2011

No idea, Karl-but I've seen it sold by a few retailers for 29 EUR and 39 EUR.

karl01 · Apr 30, 2011

well its about £13.00 but 3 days left dont want to pay to much

Renius · Apr 30, 2011

it was never cheaper than 30€ shipped or also instore it sold out @ 30€, so if you get it for 25€ shipped it would be a good deal :oohyeah:
