DvD collection additions... its been a slow month
« on: August 15, 2002, 10:30:21 PM »
Big Lebowski, The
Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring: Special Edition
Super Troopers
Simpsons: The Complete Second Season: Animated
Time Machine, The: Special Edition
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist: The Chosen Edition

Time Machine was so-so (hadn't seen it in the theaters.  Kung Pow is going to be hit or miss for many.  Personally... I loved it.  And everything you ever needed to know about life and its mysteries can be learned watching the Simpsons.  The only downer is that I have to wait 6 months for Season 3.

I'll buy the beer,

If you'll have me over for a movie night! :cool:

I bought the Big Lebowski too. The Cohens are my favorite film team at the moment. Every one is more amazing then the last. Also got O' Brother where art thou? Must'a watched it 10 times, howling like a banchee. I hope you can get The Man Who Knew Too Much in letterbox or 16x9 if you've got the set for it. Imo, it's the best photography I've seen in years.

The Big Lebowski is a RIOT

LOTR is a no-brainer purchase. Did you see the Two Towers trailer? Its creepy how its possible it will be even better than the first one.

Super Troopers.... WTF?!? from the trailers it seemed like ass, though I could be wrong, havent seen it.

The Simpsons, my favorite toons ever, but I dont know in wich season my favorite episodes are, and some seasons kind of sucked.

Time Machine, havent seen it, seems so-so

Kung-Pow, havent seen it, but from the trailers I was rolling my eyes. The fight against the cow seemed not funny, kind of tired of the Matrix imitations.

I bought Willow 2 days ago,  I love that film.:D
"Willy's gone and made another,
Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."

I've always had mixed feelings about this movie.  I love everyone in it except for Bridges.  Everytime he insisted on being called "the dude", I'd squirm in my chair.  His character seemed over the top.  Of course, I loved the "stupid people getting together and coming up with stupid ideas" aspect of things and Goodman and Biscimi stole the show.

I almost feel like an bellybutton for looking so forward to a movie that's not coming out until December.  The trailers look awesome.  I'll also be getting the special edition FOTR version coming in November with 30 additional mins in it.

Its lightweight.  I liked most of the humor in the movie.  I wouldn't recommend a purchase here without previewing it first.

I'm suprised that some of my favorite episodes are in the first two seasons.  Its also very interesting to see how much different the show portrays Bart and Lisa in the earlier episodes.

What the previews showed you of this film is not representative of the movie itself.  Not at all.  Its a 70's Kung-Fu film that has the main character inserted in the original script.  Some of it is stupid, but the rest manages to be one of the best parodies of a Kung-Fu I've ever seen.
