What's your next DVD?

[Joshua B]

Probably nothing for me until April 6, Matrix Revolutions. I did not see it in the theater. Although I might just take a chance with House of Sand and Fog on March 30. Then there's not a lot until May 4--The Last Samurai.

P.S. Not counting the myriad of kids DVD's we get for the van. Oh, and no, I'm not one of the ones watching porn in the van either!

Well I was in Norwood visiting my folks on Saturday and I went a little nuts in Walmart (Walpole). I picked up:

Journey Greatest Hits 1978-1997 Music Videos and Live
The Best of New Edition: The DVD Collection
The Police: Every Breath You Take
The Black Stallion
End of Days
Orange County

The total was about $60 for all those. I need to stay away from Walmart!

I saw on TV Land a bunch of old "Sid and Marty Krofft" produced shows that I grew up with in the mid 70's & early 80's. I remember Land of the Lost. I did a search and there is a 3 DVD set, "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft". That will be my next purchase.

Skijay-

From memory--

Marshall, Will and Holly
On a routine expedition
Met the greatest earthquake ever known
High on the rapids It struck their tiny raft (insert screams here)
And plunged them down a thousand feet below
To the Land of the Lost
To the Land of the Lost

 

[Joshua B]

Skijay,

I checked out that DVD on Amazon. It looks great. Now did that team also create another show I used to watch on Saturday morning? It was a futuristic, Land of the Lost type show where the main characters would travel in a large land rover that would roam the area. I remember a scene with a large, outdoor, glass panel floor where lasers were shooting at one of the characters who had to navigate his way across without getting fried. Sound familiar?

Oh, and brilliant memory Jaytrek57!

 

[MichaelJ]

Oh man ... there's also the complete series of H. R. Pufnstuf available!

Dr. Shrinker, Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl, the Lost Saucer ... woo-hoo! Gimme a bowl of overly-sugared cold cereal and the remote!

Now, how about some Hong Kong Phooey?

 

[Jaytrek57]

MichaelJ
Hong Kong Phooey! Brilliant.

Let's take it up a notch...shall we.

Banana Splits (Secret Squirrell or Danger Island anyone)
Jabberwocky (Although I believe this was Boston based.)
Superfriends (Before Legion of Doom)

 

[Joshua B]

I remember all those shows Jaytrek57!

By the way, I picked up a few more DVDs. I've started to make a list of great looking DVDs I want to own, culled from other published lists. I added

Minority Report
O Brother, Where Art Thou?

I also bought a music DVD from Erasure, a synth pop group - Hits: The Videos.

And I'm still looking for Do the Right Thing, the Criterion Collection, not the standard release.

View all my DVDs here.

I just bought a Palm Zire 71.

A week later I was paying to ship it to Palm for repairs. That sucks.

(I tend to buy gadgets instead of movies and music.)

DVDs are the only non-essential spending I've been doing lately. I actually had my cable TV turned off for a few months to save money as I'm closing on a townhouse early next month. I'm doing very well with my savings, and DVDs help me out of my apartment life depression as I look forward to moving into a place where I can't hear the guy below me snoring at night.

Stephen....I lucked out with my Sony Clie. Out of the box and no problems. One of the games I installed, Race Fever, has a tendency to eat the life out of the battery. Even though the Sony powers itself off, the game still runs.

I now exit the game before I shut it off. Sony's tech support was great in helping me figure it was not a hardware issue. Thankfully I did not have to send it out for a repair.

JoshuaB....Erasure, I remember that group from the 80's. I did order my World of Sid and Marty Krofft DVD set. It should be here anytime. Whenever I am in Sherbrooke, Canada I go to HMV records and find DVD releases that I can not find here in the states. Do they release to Canada first?

I am also looking for a French-Canadian movie on DVD, "J'ai mon voyage" from 1973 starring Jean Lefebvre. I only want it because of the classic 1973 Toyota Celica that is in it.

Josh B -

When you got the O Brother DVD, did you get the soundtrack too? The vesion of "Down to the River to Pray" by Alison Krauss is worth the price by itself........

The Coen Bros rule. Raising Arizona and Fargo are two favorites....

 

[MichaelJ]

Oh Brother is pretty much my favorite movie, and yup, the soundtrack is excellent!

 

[skiguide]

this thread just reminds me of how bad I need to catch up on movies!! I am so unusually behind in renting & going to the theaters!

Luckily, I just saw "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" a couple weeks ago, which I highly recommend - Jim Carrey, who i've always loved, is at his best in this movie. I only wish it was later in the Oscar year, because i fear he'd be overlooked again, and this is by far a work most deserving.

Of course, my "date" was one of my high school girlfriends i was visiting in Texas... gotta do something about that situation! LOL!
