And my final orders of the month:

Fantastic double-header Paul, I went multi-region a forthnight ago and these are on my list of things-to-get... I'll be happy to fling out my R2 MGM equivalents...

Like you, when I first got a bluray player I was dead against upgrading my films but have done so for a lot of my favourites. It really does give the films a new lease of life.

I've recently gone Blu, and had made up my mind not to upgrade my collection except for a few favourite films but...seeing the difference in films such as "The Witchfinder General" on Blu compared to DVD, I'm very tempted to up grade more older films than new.

Yeah, some things I will upgrade - all my Tarkovskys, and stuff like The Devils, Performance, Eraserhead, and budget DVD editions vs well-stacked Blus... but I just can't afford to upgrade say my Bavas, or my Twilight Zones... Thankfully, I never picked up any Jean Rollin or Wong-Kar Wei due to variable DVD transfers so I'm enjoying these two film makers in HD at the moment...

Also I try to avoid picking up anything that I can see on Film4 every forthnight...

I went to the sorting office and spoke to the manager, who took my concerns seriously and put a system in place whereby he would phone me every couple of days to see what was delivered. Apparently, some action was taken (probably something along the lines of Royal Mail employee caught pocketing DVDs and sacked) and my orders were then delivered hassle-free.

There are some real bastards out there.

Plenty of good stuff and a guilty pleasure, and I'm not talking about Manimal!

Manimal kicks ass! I haven't seen the series since I watched it as a kid on TV in the '80s.

I'm currently keeping my fingers crossed that my Night of the Living Dead (1990) BD comes through Customs unscathed as, otherwise, I'll end up paying even more for the TT set.

Say, where we all getting this Texas Chainsaw 2 set from?
Watched this on the plane to Japan, and wasn't dissapointed at all.

Edit: ignore. Crossed wires

Can't seem to edit my previous post - ignore it as I got my wires crossed there.
