    We can all hope, but I think the reality is that Paramount will wait until a new theatrical film is announced before they move ahead with plans for the Blu-Rays.

    cool, but is the a video of the awards?

    I didn’t see anywhere where there is a video. If anyone knows of a video post the link here and then I will add it to this story. Thanks.

  7. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRIDAY 13TH!!!!!

  8. awesome win, but an award for best packaging? The new cover art looks like crap! I guess a win is a win, though.
