Disney is rolling out yet another new edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  Considering the movie has been rereleased 8 times theatrically and on several different home video options, Disney has made a lot of money off their first big Princess. However, this time, Disney is cutting you a break.  When you upgrade your VHS or DVD copy of Snow White to the new Diamond Edition DVD/Blu-ray edition, if you enter your UPC at Disney’s website, you get a $10 off coupon towards your new Blu-ray edition.

That’s not the end of the bargains for those of us who shop online.  Big Picture Big Sound has all the details on the special Amazon coupon code (snowhite) you need to get the most bang for your movie-buying buck, and details on the Limited Edition Collector’s Set which has pretty much everything you could possibly want related to Snow White and her short pals.  There’s also a gift set with a book, a gift set with plush dwarves (which admittedly is pretty awesome), and two different packaging variants for the DVD/Blu-ray combo discs.  If you combine the two deals, you can get the digitally remastered Snow White for $25 below list cost.

Now, I’m not a Disney fan, but this is something I can get behind.  When I upgraded from VHS to DVD, I had a whole lot of perfectly good VHS tapes that were basically useless to me.  Instead of letting me trade them in for DVDs (or money off DVD editions), I just sold them at the second-hand store.  And don’t even get me started on getting burned on buying a normal edition movie when the Extra Special 2-Disc Director’s Cut With Free Toy Inside comes out a few weeks later.

It’s about time customers got rewarded for being repeat customer, not punished for being suckers who bought too early.  Kudos, Disney!  You guys are awesome.

Margaret O’Callaghan had a need for a new type of kitchen utensil.  The round-bottomed ladle and the spatula are just not good enough when you’re dealing with things like crock pots and serving dishes.  That’s why she invented the scrudle, a combination ladle and spatula designed to scrape the deliciousness from any sort of cooking […]

Every day, Tom Baker deals with the issue of traffic.  Given Southern California’s massive concentration of cars, it’s no wonder that Baker would get frustrated dealing with the daily traffic routine.  That inspiration resulted in these great images of Los Angeles without the cars.   Here’s the full image gallery, and it’s awesome.
I love the […]

Have you ever wondered where salt comes from?  I mean, salt is in everything from fertilizers (potassium chloride) to the dinner table (sodium chloride), but where does it actually come from?  Why, salt mines, of course!  They’re not just for horrible industrial accidents or mad scientist lairs anymore.  English Russia has a great look inside […]

For some reason, the kids these days love the Twilight saga.  Believe me, it pains me to call it the Twilight saga, because to me a saga is a great, sweeping work of masterful literature, not a teenage vampire romance novel.  Either way, the latest movie based on the Twilight books, New Moon (officially The […]

People worry about all kinds of crises as the world ends, but as the movie Zombieland taught us, sometimes it’s our snack foods that are most important to our happiness.  For Tallahassee, it was his beloved Hostess Twinkies.  If your favorite food is the humble Eggo waffle from General Mills, then you’d best head to […]

I love goofy little websites like this.  From the Wal-Martians to quality engineering, I love a nice, odd corner of the Internet to investigate.  If it’s something that can result in some comedy thanks to random word generation, even better.   That’s why when Mysterio offered to predict my holiday gifts, I jumped at the […]

Linguist d’Armond Speers is an odd bird.  How else could you explain someone that taught his son Klingon as his first language? For the first three years of his son’s life, Speers spoke to his son only in the fictional alien language Klingon from the Star Trek universe.  His reasoning?  It was an experiment to […]
