I Just Bought...

I remember there was this family who had the biggest VHS collection I've ever seen. Think Macs DVD collection, but in tapes.

They moved away before the whole DVD thing hit, but I always think about how awful they must have felt when their shit became obscolete.

the major diff is that hd dvd and blu ray players are backwards compatible.

Mac, let me know how that Dracula disc is (aside from that godawful cover art - seriously, they have a whole movie of absolutely amazing imagery to draw from, and that's the best they can do for a special edition cover?).

It's really worth the buy ($20). It has completely different material than the Criterion laserdisc, including a new commentary track by Coppola. The Behind The Scenes featurettes (over an hour's worth) are similar to the Apocalypse Now ones, in that they are a mixure of footage and interviews from that time and new interviews. The cool clips are Coppola working with the actors in rehearsals and on set (pissing off Oldman in the process), making a "pre-vis" version of the film using the storyboards, sound effects and actors voice-overs (I wish they had included the entire version), and Roman explaining the visual effects.

An even better price is at Wal-mart. 13 bucks!! Supposed to be in a special halloween display.

i don't want to show off but i didn't realize this was released this early in october. i thought it coincided with the uk release at the end of october. it's kind of a "surprise" release like new radiohead album was.

I thought this wasn't going to be released in the US till december...

Here are mine for the past couple of days

The Heartbreak Kid (1972)-ordered off of ebay...
The Beatles Anthology
1408
The War (with kevin costner and Elijah wood)

it's still going to be released in the us in december. i was first going to buy the region 1 because of the plastic thing which you pull off, you know?

aaanyway, i couldn't resist buying the region 2 though. and there's plenty of good extra material, audio commentaries etc. outtakes of sawyer smearing bananas on hurley's naked "torso".

Paid (and how) a visit to my fav used DVD store:

I hope you'll have something left for when you retire, because DVDs are not really a great financial investment.

If Mac's house is on fire, I wonder what he saves. Does he have any pets?

[Pubrick]
