I know 10,000 BC was a bit lame but I'm looking forward to seeing this in BluRay!

[Ari]

The picture is supposed to look amazing. And it's Warner Bros, so I'm not sure the studio store is going to have it.

[Abraham Smashington]

"You're saying the FBI is going to pay me to learn to surf?"

Fuck yes. I shall own this!

[Ari]

Next week, in our studio store, it's gonna be epic!
