What was the last DVD you bought and why?

It's a Christmas pressie, ok? Still in the cellophane. I'm not going to watch it. I don't want to watch it/play it.

It's in a cupboard.

Ok, I'll throw it away. I feel unclean.

Look at the grinning, smarmy sh*te on the cover. How do you think I felt actually walking up to pay for the thing? Giving up smoking was easier*...

*And that's something I'm still struggling with.

I have that on dvd too, but mine has a different cover, and the print is absolutely crap. Looks like they just took the vhs (which they dragged through a sewer first) onto a dvd. Is that one any better?

Steve Vai: Live At The Astoria, London

Why I got it? Cause Steve Vai goes whicky whicky wah wah vrooooom kacha ping ping ping ding. And because Eric Sardinas is on there too, and he is awesome to the max.

It's really good. Works well.

Went DVD mad at the pre-christmas sales, well I've been a good boy the last couple of months, and due to my Diploma I've become a virtual recluse, so the splurge was on:

Crash

Don't look now ( this film terrified me as a kid, time to face the fear )

Insomnia (Didn't think it was that great, but Al Pacino for a £5!!! )

The Pianist ( again only a £5 )

Rules of Attraction ( again wasn't that impressed, but I'll give it another go )

So I married an axe murderer ( A £5 for the best Scottish accent by a non-Scot, ho, heid move!!! Let's get pished!!! I love this film )

The Warriors ( can't resist, again only £5 )

What Dreams may come ( haven't seen this, but I've heard there are some cool visuals and effects, and there's always Annabella Sciorra )

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?

Had to get this


And this. Now I have double but I didn't pay for the first release I just got one off my friend who bought 4.

Crap, does it say that thing completes with the complete first graphic novel? Am I reading that right? That's one fine insert, if you ask me.

YES!! It does come with the first book, It's about palm sized instead of the normal size but it's still the full book and rocks!

Yeah, that's how they print them all now. I believe they've discontinued the larger versions.

Seriously! Whoa I did not know that. I should pick up some Big copies if I see em. I got the 3rd one in the large version. and 1st in smal

The Honeymooners
Fantastic 4
Havoc
Mi Vida Loca

I just picked up 3/20 at a local record store. I got Reservoir Dogs, The Graduate and Wayne's World. Good movies, I finally got around to watching Reservoir Dogs, which I should have watched long ago. Amazing.

I actually just won an eBay auction for "Annie Hall" and I can't wait for it to get here. I'm watching a few more auctions on my Nabit, so I'll probably have a new list here soon.

Yesterday

Airplane"Dont Call me Shirley" Edition
A Nightmare on Elm Street Box Set
Boogie Nights
A Christmas Story 20th Anniversary
Edward Scissorhands Anniversary Edition

I just bought a DVD of live classical music. It's for my mom though, as an x-mas gift. Not sure that counts for this thread...

For myself, the last DVD i bought was the Alien Quadrilogy. Great set, lousy packaging. You need 9 feet just to fully open it!

I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?

Cries and whispers (criterion) - 'tis a rather good film.

Seven Samurai (criterion) - A favourite.

Ali: Fear eats the soul (criterion) - recommended by a friend, I couldnt rent it on my dvd rental service, so i just bought it.

8 1/2 (criterion) - to go with my other criterions
