New DVDs

After a couple light weeks (only picked up two new titles this week: The In-Laws and The Mission), next week is one of those absolute killers. I've already ordered or will be picking up next Tuesday...Adaptation, Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing, "Cheers" season one, 25th Hour, Max and The Hot Rock. That's a lot, even for me...and I clearly have a problem. Then the following week is "Homicide: Life on the Street" seasons one & two, Throne of Blood, Talk to Her and The Pianist. And of course, this doesn't even include the constant stream of R2 and R4 titles I'm incessantly ordering.

I swear, sometimes I think it'd be cheaper if I were addicted to crack. At least with that, at some point you either get arrested or die, putting an eventual ceiling on your spending. I just keep acquiring more, and more, and more DVDs. I'm beginning to scare even myself.

Not so scared I'm gonna stop, mind you.

Maybe if your DVDs came to life and tried to eat you with the teeth they could grow from the opening of their cases.

Holden, I love The Mission, it's one of those movies made by a mega-star that's seemingly forgotten. Great stuff! I too love Insomniac. When the show came to Portland, I tried getting on it, but alas....

The Mission is a nice two-disc SE, with a Joffe commentary track and a good one-hour documentary.

X2: X-Men United - DVD-R

Adaptation:Superbit.

My birthday is arriving soon, so I expect a wealth of new DVD's on the way.

Adaptation here as well. It's not a bad DVD. It needs audio commentaries though. I liked the menus. Liked how Nic Cage's filmography shows a closeup of his man boobies. Glad they used the shot of Meryl holding her feet up several times because I like the shot. Like the ants the appear crawling on her feet - I thought I had a real ant on my screen at first!

For fun, slow-mo the car crash scene (when Laroche's mom dies). You can see dummies of the uncle and mom in the backseat -- they look hilarious.

Spun - B+

The Good The Bad And The Ugly
Terminator 2: Extreme Edition

I'll have to get around to listing all the other new ones in my collection, but it's been a week or two and they've kind of blended in with the crowd.

The epic 1956 classic Giant 2-disk set, and the Steve Martin/Lily Tomlin comedy All of Me.

I just got Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4 box set....

I LOVE this so damn much! It has, of course, the "Silent Episode," as well as some of the best director's commentary I've ever listened to (from Buffy Creator Joss Whedon. Listening to the commentary for the episode "Restless" is like a mini film-school....). seriously, I am a Buffy fanatic. I haven't watched anything else since buying this. (It's six discs! ) and yes, I almost cried like a damn woman when Oz lost his girl to....another girl. But then my love for all things Amber Benson took over, so It's cool. mmmm...Amber Benson....

Gotta get around to watching the DVD of Castle in The Sky I just bought sometime soon, too.

I've added Peter Jackson's gorefest Dead Alive, Wes Craven's Last House on the Left and Tool Box Murders to my shelf. I have recently had a craving for 70's horror--it seems. as of late, they are more readily available on DVD.
