Yes, very witty.

I'm sure lots of thought went into it :wink:

Recently received Chasing Amy, Clerks: The Animated Series Uncensored and a Region 0 bootleg copy of The Last Unicorn (kinda crappy, though - I think I'll send it back to the seller...)

Yesterday I got the Criterion Collection edition of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas for $10 at Suncoast - with a bunch of Replay Rewards certificates, of course. :wink:

I also rented American Splendor and Lion King 1½ this week. I really like AS - I might buy it sometime. But a big hairy NO to the other one. *gak*

Yes, but judging from your choice of avatar for the last little bit, you'd already made up your mind to dislike Lion King 1½. :) Can't say I've seen it, so i can't comment on quality.

Got the Foo Fighters - Evrywhere But Home live DVD last night....great stuff :up:

Got The Sword in the Stone for $14.99 at Best Buy. And while I haven't actually bought it yet, I'm going to pick up Fun and Fancy Free later this afternoon.

Got the Hulk: Limited Edition 3-Disc set yesterday (on a whim - the packaging is so cool :)).

Also picked up the Flaming Lips album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Not strictly a new DVD you might says...

...but it is the CD + DVD version. It comes with the original CD album, and a DVD (obviously). The groovy thing is that the DVD not only contains all the music videos from the album (which are very cool), plus 'making-ofs', trailers and other clips; but it also contains the entire album remixed in Dolby 5.1 surround as a DVD-Audio track. Even if you have heard this brilliant record on CD, it is a whole new experience on DVD-A. Just mindblowing (this is, after all, a band that released a previous record - Zaireeka - on 4 CDs designed to be played simultenously on 4 different CD players to accomplish the surround effect. The DVD is a definite advantage :P).

Worth checking out for music fans everywhere...

That's a damn good deal there, Miss Michelle. X2 goes in a lot of places for $30-40 by itself!

Did you get Freaky Friday from the US? I didn't think it was available here yet. Or am I mistaken? I'll get it here if it is...

Oh, you are right - might see if I can pick up FF ex-rental. Where did you get yours - I might try there?

I picked up the UK 2 Disc League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on Saturday as it was cheap (I think somebody priced it the same as the single disc) and it has twice as many deleted scenes as the US version and Trailers. Yay! Trailers. And TV Spots. Lots of TV Spots. Plus numerous other little additions :up:

Also recieved Jonathan Creek Series 1 and 2, 4 disc boxset and Red Dwarf 4 (the year before it all began to go to pot). I can't believe the Red Dwarf set contains "Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg". Why would anybody want to watch that abomination again?
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

My local Blockbuster ... hmm ... I did see another copy while I was there - $24.95 for it by itself (or 3 for $50) ... I'm a bit weirded out about giving out details on a board ... even if it is as obscure as a little Sydney suburb ... ummm ... if you want anymore details PM me ... or email to save bandwidth *smiles sweetly* :lol:

It's ok...you don't have to disclose your suburb.

I'm assuming all Blockbuster stores would have them out. My local (or locals - I live in an "Eastern" suburbs area that has at least 2 stores within walking distance). Thanks for your help, M. :D

This message has been sent via PM and posted on the forum to waste as much bandwidth as possible. :P

I know this post is a few days old, but in case you haven't sent this back, I would do it now. It comes out here next month. Amazon has a release date of 3/16.
