Title: Haven't been adding as much to the collection lately...
Post by: Mini D on July 02, 2003, 11:46:21 PM
My DvD collection (http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mycollection.asp?alias=MrHanky)

Got Punch Drunk love this month and loved it.  I've been searching more for some of the older series that are finally being released on DvD.  Gonna get Scrubs, DS9 and a few others when I find them for a decent price.  Not alot of decent movies coming out these days.

MiniD...you were MrHanky too?  I just noticed the reference in the address on that link.

MrHanky was the handle that made me chuckle everytime I saw it when online...why did you change it?

If you liked Punch Drunk Love you'll probably also really like the other two movies written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson ( <----- incredible).

On the off off chance you haven't already seen them Mini, look into Magnolia and Boogie Nights. There's a package deal on those two movies at Amazon right now:

Title: Why Buy?
Post by: Arfann on July 03, 2003, 12:48:07 PM
Not meaning to flame anyone, but why buy movies? I know people who have racks and racks of movies and, for the most part, never watch them more than once. Do some of you actually watch them over and over, or is it a "pride of ownership" thing?

Its a "Pasty white Skin Guy" thing where you get no excercise, and your donut has pimples on it from sitting and watching too much tv.  First one to a heart attack wins, and you get bonus Cholesterol and high blood pressure if you also call people Nazi's on the net and then try to defend yourself. :D

Wow...that has to be one of the stupidest links I have ever seen Rip.  Is that how you really feel about Deja or are you just trying to sweet talk him?  You two should just make out and get it over with.

By the way, anyone else reading this thread...I wouldnt open that link if you are at work.  It would be nice if Rip would at least give a warning before he does something like that.

OK, I understand now. So who did you call a nazi?

Ooh, add me to the pimply-ass club!  As long as I'm never caught spending hours waxing my car and showing it more love than my children I'll be OK.

Arf- Why buy movies?  I like 'um, and I do watch them more than once.  Also, most DVDs have a lot more on them than just the movie.  If I find that I'm just not watching a movie at all or don't care to own it any more, off to ebay it goes.

Has anyone heard whether they will have an expanded DVD version of the Two Towers, lke they did with FOTR.

Although that diverted from the book so much I can't imagine what they would add.

I'd rather own them than rent them.  I pay about $8 average more per DvD to own it.  I don't watch any TV these days... I just pop one movie in about every other night.  My wife reads.  I suppose there's other things out there that people pay more to collect and use less.

As for what Rip does / doesn't do I don't know.  I do find it ironic that someone that spends so much time posting on the forums calls other people pasty.  Watch out rip... if you get too tan someone's gonna want to deport you.

Yes... a good place to look at upcoming releases is DvD Jornal (http://www.dvdjournal.com).  They have an upcoming releases section.  The LOR films are listed there... "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (widescreen) (2-disc set)" August 6th and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Special Extended DVD Edition (4-disc set)" on November 18th.

Since it's true confessions time (Rip admitting to calling someone a nazi as well as being one?? :p  )  there is one movie that I've rented so many times that I would have saved money buying it.

Go for it MT.  Then I can counter with the % of house occupants that are chicks.  It will make my ratio look huge.  And, according to arfann, that's what this is all about.

Nothing against the "Great White North", but no. And there are actually two movies I should own, "Blazing Saddles" and "The Meaning of Life". Pick up new stuff everytime I watch 'em.

Been trying to find "The Meaning of Life" on DvD... that's pretty tough.  They only had a limited special edition release.  Can't bring myself to pay $50 for a single DvD.

Just checked... Meaning of Life is due for re-release in September.

BTW... I've watched Blazing Saddles about 20 times too.

Saw Blazing Saddles for the first time at the theater when I was in college. I think the haze of alcohol and pot made it much funnier.

Still a favorite though.

Blazing Saddles is constantly in my DVD player.  It's got a great audio commentary with Mel Brooks too, about the making of the movie and such...very interesting stuff, especially about the casting of the movie.

The two best DVD purchases I have made (value vs. cost) would have to be The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and Boondock Saints.  Both great movies at only $10.

Other DVD's that I have gotten that are pretty well worth the money I paid for them:

Band of Brothers

LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring (super duper but not extra-special edition)

Blue Max (though this doesn't have any extras beyond the trailer)

The Recruit (surprisingly entertaining, if a tad predictable)

Black Hawk Down (extra-geeked-out version - 3 discs full of goodies)

Dogma (Special Edition)

Donnie Brasco (awesome movie - fuggedaboutit)

L.A. Confidential (a definite must see)

Spy Game

This is Spinal Tap (two movies in one - don't believe me?  Watch it with the commentary on)

The Thing (still one of the creepiest movies I have ever seen)

Tombstone (Directors cut - Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday = cool)

The Usual Suspects (if you haven't seen it, Gabriel Byrne is Kaiser Soze - oops, nm)
