dvds:
*Superman Special Edition...got it because apparently the new one takes place after this, so I thought I'd rewatch it, it's been years.
*Superman 2 - 'cos I'm probably gonna get 'em all now, I have this weird continuity thing and unless a sequel is like mega-bad, I'll usually buy it.
*The breakfast club - ALWAYS wanted it on dvd, got it for $15AUD brand new, which is pretty cheap.
*LOGANS RUN!!! I LOVE this film...CLASSIC action/sci-fi. Brand new for $7AUD, which is really fuck-all.

Also...went to an antique shop in my local area, which sells antiques, old stuff, books, junk, gadgets...I swear, every time I go here I realise it's one of my favourite places to be...the store owner isn't a prick like some either, he won't follow you around the joint (and it's two levels), and he'll encourage you to tinker with stuff...which is a far cry from SOME people that operate stores like this.
So, I found something I liked...a nice black glass bottle on top of which was a battery operated dispenser that looks like a statue, when the liquid is dispensed via a button press, the guy pisses it out...who WOULDN'T this appeal to. The insides looked pretty old, but I bought it anyway as they looked simple to repair even if they werent working, and they took modern batteries too. So I bought it, the guy wrapped it in newspaper and sent me on my way. Unfortunately, spal dropped the thing, and smashed the bottle, which is unfortunate because it was a really nice bottle... The mechanism and "statue" werent damaged at all though, so now it's a matter of finding a bottle (or having glass blown) at the right size for the thing to sit upon. No big deal...just funny how bad luck happens...thought I'd share.

Bummer dude. You should take a pic of it.

I thought the new Superman technically takes place after II? Just curious...

Alright i'm getting 3 DVD's soon and i'm trying to hype myself up for them

Okay im going to get the following.


Dawn of the Dead"Ultamite Edition(Never seen it,but have a feeling it will be in my top 5 of horror movies)


Bram Stokers Dracula(Seen bits and pieces,finally giving it a good go)


and


Interview With The Vampire(Havent seen it all the way either)

So...will i be dissapointed?

Yeah, but they're all in pretty good shape.

i was ....


Bram Stokers Dracula ... another Hannibal Lecter performance by wild tony hopkins and 2 of the worst performances by winona ryder and keanu reeves. (and i never understood the euro-gutter appeal of oldman in this film... he just looks goofy to me)

Interview With a Vampire ... 'Brokeback Nosferatu'

i found myself growing weary of the closeups of Brad Pitts pouting face or Tom Cruises inability to speak with fake fangs in his mouth.
I guess if you like the homo-erotic fiction of Anne Rice you'll like the movie.



sorry - you asked !



i'd stick with the dawn of the dead... then save your money for Cemetary Man coming out soon..

3 days ago was the official release...Futureshop still doesnt have it though:(

On order:

Kwaidan (because so many damned people here say it's awesome)

Kairo

The City of Lost Children (I love that movie)

Ninja Scroll: Anniversary Edition

Devil's Backbone

3 Extremes

Perfect Blue

Total number of days in a row I'll be eating Ramen & hot dogs because of this: 14

solid purchases ..

i wasnt a big fan of perfect blue and not too crazy about ninja scroll .. but the rest are some personal faves ..

i also love City of Lost Children .. breathtaking cinematography and set design.

i'll be getting my devils backbone signed by the director this summer (the hell with hellboy)

Thanks for the input.:)

Trip to the ol' video store on the lunchbreak:

House of Flying Daggers

Blade: Trinity

Stay

The Machinist

The Grudge

Ghost In the shell: innocence

Dawn of the Dead Vegemite Edition

I have Perfect Blue and the Ninja Scroll Anniversary edition...I thought those were both great movies...Ninja Scroll is one of the best anime films in my humble opinion....
I just ordered The Gate, The Dungeonmaster, and The Class of Nuke Em High on DVD...I borrowed that one from a friend and had to get my own.....later today I'm getting The Toxic Avenger DVD since my VHS broke:(
God bless the internet:D

Brother Bear
House of Flying Daggers

I just ordered Day of the Triffids and Saturday the 14th on Amazon....DOTT was extremely cheap, but I had to pay twenty bucks for a used VHS copy of ST14....I was really suprised it was so expensive, but a lot of the movies I grew up loving are really hard to get for some reason....I was going to buy The Monster Squad the other day and it STARTED at 25 bucks for a used tape...I didn't buy it. Howard the Duck is really scarce too, I don't really understand why....

Lucky

The Wal-Mart nearby just loaded up the "we can't give 'em away, but we can sell 'em cheap" bin, so I took a few off their hands.

Copycat -- I love Holly Hunter and Sigourney Weaver in this, and Harry Connick, Jr. makes me laugh.

Cabin Fever -- I don't know why, but I like this movie.

Stir of Echoes -- I remember liking this but haven't watched it in a while.

Pretty in Pink -- Ah, this one takes me back to my youth.

Eye for an Eye -- I like vigilante justice movies, especially when the bad guy has no redeemable qualities.

The Mothman Prophecies -- It's not a great movie, but it creeps me out for some reason.

Mothman Prophecies, how cheap was this one? Might pick it up. Didn't see it in the discount bin last time I was there.

$6.88 where I am.

All of the movies I bought were $5.50, except for Cabin Fever. It rang up $4.88. Some would say that is a sign from above.:D

VHS:
The Return Of The Living Dead
Return Of The Living Dead 3

then i played baseball.

last night i was so god damn sore everywhere i couldnt sleep.

i hate getting old - i really do.

Been looking for that myself. I'm gonna inject some more life into my music collection first before I do some overseas ordering. I've been neglecting it.

Shit... a young man would have aches aswell after doing all that!
