[criterionmaster]

Oh that is pretty cool you got that graphic novel with it. I will have to read that sometime soon.

Yeah, I am SO happy!

[Nomansvally]

I just orderd John Cassavetes Director's Box [Swedish DVD R2 Edition]

I've never seen any Cassavetes film before, so i'm very excited!

[criterionmaster]

Holy shit! You are one lucky man to be able to enjoy all those films for the first time! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on them!

[Nomansvally]

Halloween 25th Anniversery (Got it signed by Charles Cyphers)
Kenner Star Wars Toy Commercials (bootleg that has every toy commercial from 77-83)
Slime City (got it signed by the director, looks hilarious)
Off the Beaten Path (terrible looking movie I won for half-answering a question.)

[criterionmaster]

I won Two Evil Eyes (which I already have) for answering the question, "Which of Romero's relatives was in Bruiser?" and I, having not seen Bruiser was just guessing and happened to say "daughter" first out of anyone and got the DVD.



As for the other one I forget which it was so I will post later. But here was the question anyways, "What film was casting right along with Carrie back in '76?" And according to PTAhole he told me the answer "Star Wars" even though we both obviously knew the answer having seen the doc on the bonus disc of the old SW set. So I got some crappy DVD for answering that, but still fun winning something nonetheless.

[ie]

Could be decent. If not, you could always scrap the DVD and use the case for something.


Costco finds:

- $7 (9/10 in my book)

- $13 (it's Gojira)

[criterionmaster]

Bought two DVD's:


Bought another copy to sell to Blackmoses.


Bought this for the family to watch, since it is the Christmas season. And got it cheap too.

[Nomansvally]

I preordered Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere [Live 2005] at Play today for £11.99. It's coming 29th of October.

"Filmed during the Deadwing Tour at Park West, Chicago, October 2005, ARRIVING SOMEWHERE explores how Porcupine Tree have grown from an experimental studio project into a worldwide success."



;D

Here's a taste form the DVD. WATCH THIS and tell me what you think! I love this group!

Expect massive dvd purchases after I get my first check from my new job at the movie theatre. My house is turning into the national print-off headquarters for Borders coupons.

[criterionmaster]

HAHA! I am glad someone is using those coupons, don't forget to use your rewards zone card as much as possible, starting November - Janurary they have that Holiday savings thing, and I have almost $50 saved up on there, so basically that means I have a $50 gift card. And plus you can still use your 30% off coupons and the holiday savings!

[Nomansvally]

I just blind-bought Nostalgia [1983] by Andrei Tarkovsky from Play.com. 2 Disc set for just €13.49.



;D

Oh, I liked that song very much! Definitely going to check out some other songs from them.

[agentknight]

That movie looks sooo good Nomansvally.

[Nomansvally]

Yeah I can't! I will post my thoughts about it after I've got it and watched it through, agentknight.

Hey kiddo, Porcupine Tree is one of my favourite bands, I recommend you to start with these three albums: 'Signify' (1996), 'Stupid Dream' (1999) [my personal favourite] and 'In Absentia' (2001). The song 'Blackest Eyes' you checked out is from the 'In Absentia' album, it's their most famous album. Glad you liked it!

[Nomansvally]

ahhhh, I couldn't resist! I was at Play.com just some minutes ago and saw 'Chungking Express' for just €11.99. Man I had to get me that film. I've only seen Wong Kai-War's 'In The Mood For Love' which I dig so I don't think this'll dissapoint.

[criterionmaster]

Oh, while it is a completely different film than ItMfL, it is still a masterpiece. And in some ways I like it better than In the Mood for Love. It is just so fun, stylish, and entertaining. The way the story(s) are told is just brilliant. And the performances, and just the overall look and feel are just wonderful. I feel like watching it again, right now!

I also hope you like "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas and the Poppas. !

[PTAhole]

Hah! Yeah, I prefer it to In the Mood For Love. Great film.

[Nomansvally]

Allright

The Mamas and the Poppas.

[kiddo]

... and Persona

Total price: 9 £

Havent seen any of them, but are going to watch McCabe & Mr. Miller right now!

[agentknight]

[Nomansvally]

Man, Ratcatcher is excellent, a really solid debut film from Lynne Ramsay, excellent cinematography. You're in for a treat agentknight! Trouble Every Day looks special...

[Clark Nova]

boy, let me tell ya people, that liquidation at Tower Records is complete and utter b.s. All it is is the already ridiculously high prices with a 15% discount, so instead of a ridiculously expensive dvd store it's a normal priced dvd store with a shitty selection. anyway, i couldn't go away empty-handed, so i bought Manhattan and the Criterion Collection of Solaris.

[ie]

Trouble Every Day is a good Frank Zappa song, I can tell you that.


I went to a local Barnes and Noble with a Music section, and guess what? They had Criterion Collection DVDs, and a decent selection as well. Even if they were full price.

[Clark Nova]

Yeah, it happened all of a sudden. One day i go to my Barnes & Noble and their selection is shitty, the next week i go and they've got this huge Criterion section. I was very pleasantly surprised.
