The blog was on downtime for a while as I wanted it to be more of a secondary place for blu-ray release news and a primary place for other cool discussions, whether they be about you, new hardware, cool discoveries and whatnot.
Of course I still endeavour to post new information about titles as they come out, but I want to transfer all the trailers and features to the main list as the primary place, and this has / is taking time.
Anyway, expect to see some major upgrades this week, and the jigsaw will reform nicely.

Trailer (Clip only)
Description
Philo Beddoe is your regular, easygoing, truck-driving guy. He’s also the best barroom brawler west of the Rockies. And he lives with a 165-pound orangutan named Clyde.
Like other guys, Philo finally falls in love - with a flighty singer who leads him on a screwball chase across the American Southwest. Nothing’s in the way except a motorcycle gang, two sneaky off-duty cops and legendary brawler Tank Murdock.
Every Which Way But Loose was a change of pace for Clint Eastwood- and it proved to be one of his most popular films.
With a soaring country score and a solid supporting cast including Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis, Beverly D’Angelo and the great Ruth Gordon, it’s in every which way possible a grand time for all.
