Aaron, yes, I did buy Amy :D But it didn't bring the CD with it too! :x I wanted a double 5" disc thingie!! :twisted: :lol: :P I've looked in a couple of places for that green thing but haven't seen one yet.

oh and keeping with the new DVD thread:
Luke in another thread wrote:This can't be good for The Lion King lovers here! We're starting to get outnumbered! :o


Well today I succumbed to the LukeForce as I saw a giftie thingie called The Lion King waving at me. Deathie Vader the bringer of balance into the UDark side.
The Circle is now complete. :twisted:



Also, like it happened once before, while I was looking for Amy in the cd section, Mickey caught the corner of my eye by the import section and i found something that i would at best describe as (Foreign Country's Version of) "American Idol sings Disney" ! Maybe there's even a dvd version with videos of those songs in that strange strange land. Need to investigate further :twisted:

I got 2 new DVDs today. "A Life Less Ordinary" with Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz, and "Tigerland" with Colin Farrell. I've wanted to see both for a while now and it was only $12 for both. They're really good movies so I wasn't dissapointed.

Oh my... I feel so excited. This is the first time I post here.

I feel like a virgin (touched for the very first time) :huh: So please, be gentle. :oops:

My last Dvd was Gremlins 2. I really like those movies (including the 1st one). And I always had them on my wishlist. But because they usually range between $15-$20. I think they're too expensive or if it's $15 so cheap I felt better to invest in something else. But finally Wal Mart brought it for $9 ; Halloween DVD's, so I couldn't skip it this time.

Right now I'm waiting for 2 movies. An upgrade to my Species DVD and Dawn of the Dead... I love that movie!

Oh yeah... I also bought a new home theater so I can't complain.

Yeah, the DVD is just the DVD (orange cover). The CD is sold separately, and if you buy it at a non-Christian retailer, you'll get the bonus CD with it (for a limited time). It has a green cover and should be on the new release stack- there's been a big display for it in every store I've been in. If it's not there, then it should be in either Pop or Christian sections (hopefully both).... or *shudder* in the back room. But then, I've heard of some stores placing it in the country section. Best Buy and Media Play are both selling the CD for $9.99 this week only.

In Suncoast they have this special where you can buy 2 movies of $14.99 for $20.

I'm going to take advantage of that!!! 8) Today I got: The Changeling (I heard it is a very good horror movie) and the first season of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. More than season it has the pilot episodes plus 4 never before seen ones.

When I went to pay, the register said " old school". :shock: I'm feeling old. This cartoons aren't that old, 1987.

Picked up Day After Tomorrow at Costco. The movie's pretty good, but I bought it mostly because of the $5-Off coupon for I, Robot that came with it.

Recent DVD purchases:

UK: Day After Tomorrow - 2 Disc, with Slipcover and 3D Cover!

UK: Fahrenheit 9/11 - sadly missing a couple of music supplements from R1

US: Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy

CAN: Due South Season 3 - Unlike most people I actually like the faux Ray, and think he was introduced cleverly

UK: Ross Noble Unrealtime 2 Disc (includes full Ross Noble Live At Regent's Park)

UK: Conan The Destroyer SE (sent by accident - but has slipcover and lobby card reproductions)

UK: Amityville 3D 2 Disc (with slipcover! includes lobby cards, 2 pairs of 3D specs and 3D and Non-3D versions of the film)

US: Friday 13th Ultimate Collection - it's ok, but as we know if could have been better. Why no Friday 13th 3D? They managed to do a crappy film like Amityville 3D in the much smaller UK market :roll: Disappointed the advertised "Scary Trailers" featurette is not on the bonus disc.

UK: Dungeons and Dragons Box Set - this is excellent. 4 Aramay discs in a solid cardboard slipcover which "opens like a book". Wonderful. Looking forward to seeing the discs.

UK Black Books 3

UK Little Britain

And I just went out and bought

UK Danger 50,000 Volts! presented by Spaced and Shaun of the Dead's very own Nick Frost!

Items still not come: US Aladdin Gift Set and US Star Wars Trilogy.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

My favorite from all the Star Trek movies, with II and VI following.

Oops, I didn't buy any new DVDs so I really shouldn't be posting here...should I remedy that and buy some this weekend? LOL

Hey MickeyMouseBoy, since you have the new Dracula'31 dvd in the Van Helsing 3-disc, can you tell if it has being remastered again and actually gotten right this time? Or is it a clone from one of the previuous 2 DVD masters (OOP individual release, or Legacy release).

evil dethinquiring minds want to know
