What was the last DVD you bought and why?

For Christmas, my lady friend and I were going to "give" each other a road trip to Washington D.C., but we've had to put it on hold. Because of this, I'd only bought her some small, supplementary-type presents. So to make up for this, we decided to use some of the Christmas money we received to go on a little second-hand shopping spree at the local Goodwill, Marshall's, and The Exchange.

The Exchange, for those of you who don't have them, sells new and (mostly) used media; DVDs, CDs, video games, etc. Pretty good place to go for cheap used movies and discs just rare enough that you won't find them at Target or Wal-Mart. Tons of DVDs for $5, and a fair number for $2.50.

Anyway, I got the following...





That's not Aeon Flux the movie, mind you, but the complete animated series.

Less than $60 for the whole lot, and the last two were almost two-thirds of that. Love The Exchange.

That's cool, Yoda. I'm not sure, but did you see this post?

Wow, Aeon Flux the series! I can still remember watching that when you were a wee sprite, Yoda. (What channel used to play it? I keep thinking MTV, but I could be wrong....)

No, I hadn't! Wow! That's amazing. I have to run now, but I'd love to ask you some questions about this later. That's very cool.

It was MTV, but it might not have been the actual series. It started as a series of shorts on Liquid Television, I believe. I think that was what we saw.

Well, yes, Liquid Television. Now I remember. Now, wasn't THAT on MTV?? LOL....

Geez, mark, very cool! My claim to fame is a childhood/high school friend who did music producer-type work on Empire Records and also Jackass: The Movie and got her name on the soundtrack and DVD.

Aeon Flux, though. Yoda, I'll have to borrow that.... (Ha ha ha, after I give your Arrested Development back, I knowwwwww.)

The IMAX scenes are awesome.

I noticed the first of those Female Convict Scorpion in HMV for a hefty price, how do they compare to the Girl Boss series? I've seen a few of the latter but these ones don't like pinky flicks....

Yep, it's been years since I've seen Dust Devil and Hardware.

I've not seen any of the Girl Boss films (gyaa too many films), for one they're still pretty expensive to import from the US, and the film fair I go to (which is tomorrow) never seems to have them. Could do with a box set of these really, an uncut UK release would be nice too.

You can see my thoughts on parts 1 & 3 of the Scorpion films here: -

Not sure what you mean by the above though.

Holds up much better on repeat viewings than the other two Leo/Marty collaborations.

Taxi Driver (2-disc)



Raging Bull



Pineapple Express

Wanted

Because I really wanted to see it, but they were out at Hollywood video. A lady gave me a dirty look when I bought it cause she was looking to rent it also. Hey that money was for gas lady, so now I am bummin rides for a few days, but dammit I got to see my movie while you hovered around the returns area!!!
