bah, I was too late! I did get the PGA tour indoor or outdoor putting mat for my dad though. I would have preferred Jaws :mmph:

I'm pretty sure the Totoro blu ray comes out soon. :happy:

Does Totoro have a women with a snake coming out of her vagina? I think not. :coolblue:




I kid of cause. The Ghibli releases are prity high up on my list to come to think of it.

The picture quality on this is fantastic.

I don't think I ever met an Orson Welles film I didn't like. Welles' Macbeth and Touch of Evil should be required viewing for Horror fans. Touch of Evil is one of the most nightmarish films ever to come out of Hollywood...

I don't think Citizen Kane is the best film ever, but it is a very good one. The performances are pretty much first rate and there's something strangely addictive about Orson Welles - I had to seek out Touch of Evil, which was terrific, and F for Fake is also really good - I was not sure about it when I watched it, but it kept me thinking and replaying various scenes over and over. It's thought-provoking with a nice bit of cheek thrown in


I think Citizen Kane is one to be admired, but Welles' other works are more to be enjoyed.

I took advantage of Deep Discount's black friday sale. I'm very happy to upgrade Intruder from the Wizard Entertainment dvd for less than $10/£6.27 I hope I can restrain myself from going back and buying more.:happy:

I watched Kane on blu last week. I really enjoyed it but didn't think it attained the Shakespearian sense of tradgedy it was seeking - I just never cared about the title character's fate deeply enough. Visually though, its peerless

Not a film but I've just ordered Alan Partridge Mid-Morning Matters on Amazon as part of the Black Friday deals, I'm not sure why we have it over here but I'm happy about the discount! Anyway for the next 3 hours it is available for £8.99! So if anyone is interested I'd get in there as the cheapest I've seen it elsewhere is £12.95 on Zavvi.

Any good? I caught the last ten minutes of one show where he was wine-tasting - it was really funny but how's the series on the whole?

Thanks for the tip, just ordered Father's Day BD/DVD/CD.

BTW, after ordering it noticed it has a different cover from the one first announced.
Is there a new US disc? Can't find any mention of it, and the Troma site only mentions one version.
Besides, it should be a bd/2dvd/cd and deepdiscount only mentions bd/dvd/cd (3 discs), but it could be a mistake.

The series was great, I didn't feel like it was missing anything, or it wasn't as good as previous stuff. It was great to have Alan back!

I think Odeon Entertainment are supposed to be issuing their own Blu-ray set of The Asphyx at some point? They've already released a nice looking 2-DVD special edition with front cover art by Graham Humphreys.

I've really gotten out of the habit of watching episodic TV and have missed loads. I do love Partridge though. Thanks for the recommendation. I've just ordered :)

I know what you mean, from my late teens until my late twenties I became hopeless at watching series, I'm still pretty bad but I don't get out any more and I have Sky+ it makes it easier but I still have a hard time with 20+ episode American series, I just run out of space and can't keep up! If I'm not in the mood for something I just can't watch it and it will sit there for months.

We tend to watch a film most nights. We've got Sky+ but to be honest, the notion of recording rarely enters my feeble brain!

Everything is recorded, series linked, I rarely watch live TV although I did used to watch Batman before heading to work in the morning.

The linking of series for recording is inspired, I must say.

it is, especially when a series has a break, I would be hopeless otherwise and spending more money than necessary on TV dvd sets.

Yeah, me too. I've been quite bad at going back over the stuff I have recorded. Was quite disciplined before, would watch something fairly fast and erase them.

And then the baby came along! :D

Yeah, I try and keep on top of things like its a full time job. I've been ill and off work quite a bit this last year and you would think it was a lot easier but I've rarely been in the mood for stuff. This has left it up to my partner to deal with it but he is useless, he doesn't keep on top of the recordings, he will look at the percentage left, work out what is left to record but forget to include after midnight. Also the amount of times he has deleted something half way through a show. He really doesn't pay attention so I've had to make the occasional trips out of bed to sort it out. I do waste space by recording films I own just because they're on in HD.

Yeah, HD is a space gobbler for sure!

but it is so attractive! I've been recording Cheers in HD! But films in HD on a channel that has adverts is usually 7%, it goes so quickly. With the amount of dvds I buy I should just get rid of the movie channels.

Another one to plug in the gaps in my collection:

Yes, I think the film is a milestone because of the filming techniques employed, which were revolutionary at the time. I can't say I was bowled over by the content of the film, but the masterful execution really is amazing.

I'm about the same, but I'm always surprised by how funny the screenplay is, just how good the first time actors are and how innovative Welles' use of sound is to the development of sound in films.

Touch of Evil is a great film, although if you want nightmarish Welles, I'd highly recommend The Trial. Superb film.

My German Ascot Elite dvd of Exterminator 2 arrived today, and the back of the sleeve said it had a reversible cover (which was expected) but it also said with alternate motiv. So here's the reverse. Myself and Reaper will be happy! Only wish they had kept the original title font for this artwork. Ah well, there's still the Shout Factory release for that (and hopefully in widescreen).

My Basket Case Trilogy Steelbook arrived yesterday, along with another as I accidentally ordered two. In order to get into the case, you have to get through an incredibly well stuck paper outer sleeve, which ripped at the bottom.

To say I was annoyed would be an understatement. DON'T USE INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH GLUE TO STICK DOWN PAPER!

Sam, great selection of purchases there, especially the Redemption/Kino and Criterion BDs.

Sam those are great titles, a fantastic selection. I've spent so much non-disposable cash on Criterions last week, I am trying my best to stay away from all the bargains flying around. Although I couldn't resist picking up the Planet of the Apes Blu boxset (that's the 5 originals). 20 bucks from Amazon and the US box has a slight edge on the UK issue - the final Apes film comes with an extended cut on the US box...
