But will we ever see "Song Of The South"?

Sparhawk · Dec 7, 2012

I have a copy. But a publicly released version, would probably require lots of special interviews and "this is what this meant" type moments. They did some stuff like that on a couple of the Loony Toons collections that I have.

They should release Song of the South on a special DVD that includes the uncensored version of Silly Symphony where the Wolf pretends to be a jewish peddler to ensnare the 3 little pigs.

I agree, I think that it should be released. But there are so many people that will scream "THAT'S RACIST!" at it that it probably won't happen. It's part of our nation's history, and shouldn't be hidden (best word I can think of right now) from our memory (not saying it should be celebrated either) but looked at so that people can remember and not have anything like it repeated.

Plus, the music in the movie is just awesome.

I'm saddened at the loss of all the MST3k's they had in instant watch. Grumble!

I had a "the fuck?" moment when I saw that. Apparently the license switched--went onto Amazon Prime and discovered a ton of the movies up for free watch if you're a subscriber.

Damn it. Now I'll have to look into Amazon Prime. I have a free month of it for the Kindle, so I might as well.

SpecialKO · Dec 7, 2012

You know, I really find Prime worth it. I do a lot of my shopping for household things over Amazon, and less than $10 a month to get things really fast is quite nice. I see the video thing as more of a bonus.

Absolutely. The $79 a year is really not much considering the amount we've saved on shipping. Didn't really pay attention to the video selection until they got the app for PS3, but now they actually have a better selection sometimes than Netflix.

I've been an amazon prime member for years, just for the free 2 day shipping. I mean, that's insanely worth it by itself.

I've never used their video streaming. I should try that.

Totally agree. Been a member forever. Once they got their video app on the PS3 we now watch stuff on there almost as much as netflix. The big thing Amazon has going for it is it's also a "Blockbuster" store at my fingertips so we now rent more movies than we used to.

Damnit. Neflix only has 4 seasons ("collections") of Garfield and Friends, but according to IMDB there are 9. Where are my other 5 seasons?

Are you viewing them on a PC or some other device? I've found that my Wii, PS3 and TV all have reduced libraries compared to my PC for some reason. In fact, some seasons of shows will skip over 3 or 4 episodes for no discernable reason, but when I look them up on my PC, they're all there.

I do all of my Netflix viewing on my PC. This is just them not having all of the program available. It could be because a digital copy of those seasons isn't available - like how only the first season of WKRP in Cincinnati was ever released to DVD.
