Might just be the best single comedy series I've seen on TV. Closely followed by Arrested Development season 2.

Blade Trilogy as it was only a fiver on Play although it isn't anymore. Cock up by them I think as its the 8th best seller on the site.

Also picked up the Mad Max Trilogy for £9 as I've never seen them before.

6 films for £14 ain't half bad I think.

And it just keeps on giving. I recently finished yet another run-through of the entire series, and no matter how many times I see an episode, there's always something new to find. Some subtle visual joke, some dry double-entendre, some masterful piece of self-reference calling out through the years.

Watchmen Directors Cut and Coraline on Blu-ray. Both confirmed as region free so should have them in a couple of weeks from US.

Just bought Scrubs Series 4 and Frasier Series 3 to feed my DVD box set habit. I also have The Wire Series 4 and Undeclared to watch.

You're in for a treat. It's an absolutely hilarious show.

As for me, I picked up Life of Bryan, and Die Hard.

I loved Freaks and Geeks, my brother got the super duper yearbook version last Christmas but I'm not allowed to touch it until he's read it.

I found a great bargain today! On one hand, I wish Big Lots! (cheapo closeout/liquidation shop) wasn't right next door to my credit union, 'cos I'd like to stop buying so many DVDs at some point. But on the other hand, they had individual seasons of Tales from the Crypt for $3.00 apiece! Alas, only 2-6, so I'll still need to pick up 1 and 7 to complete the set. But still, that's a damn fine price for a damn fun show.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for a fiver in HMV, and Them! for three quid.

Not worth it!

Probably not, but it's been a while since I saw it and I bought it in a moment of weakness!

ETA:

Damn, I was had - it's only £3.99 on Play!

Watchmen does indeed work. So all the blu-ray owners in the UK who want the DC are not missing out. The maximum moviemode is quite cool as well.

Complete Dungeons & Dragons for £4. Nice.

I have that. Never watched more than 3 episodes on it though...

Dara O'Briain - Live at the Theatre Royal
The IT Crowd - Version 2.0

Because it is utter balls. I loved it as a kid

Has anyone bought the Let The Right One In dvd? I just had a look at it and it didn't say whether it had the theatrical subtitles or the infamous dumbed down ones. Anyone know?

Yes and I don't know but they seemed alright to me. Any examples of stupidity for me to compare?

Here

Good grief, that is shocking.

It's the proper ones. The "cancer" line is intact as is the "more or less" one. I'll just pop the dvd on and do a quick compare with some other scenes to be sure.

Wait here.

EDIT: Yup. All as it should be. I still can't believe how nonsensical some of the wrong subtitles are.

Trainspotting
The Serpent's Kiss

Flight of the Conchords- Series 2

It's got really, really funny outtakes on it. Surprised by how giggly Jemaine is.

I am within a hair of buying myself this. If I still have enough for it come the end of the month it shall be mine.

MASH, Waiting For Guffman and The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash for 3 quid each.

With the exception of Hancock, do you have a hard-on for McGregor? LOL Can't say I blame ya

The Boat That Rocked

The King of Kong - A Fistful of Quarters
Anvil! The Story of Anvil
(both in readiness for a double documentary day with friends I plan to hold)
The Long Good Friday - 2 disc set (with good retrospective documentary, plus the soundtrack!)

Didn't want to spend any money but I ended up getting a bundle.

Repo Man
The Fountain
Hud
Romero of the Dead Collection
Hitchcock Collection

A Scanner Darkly

Star Wars Trilogy
Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Those will keep me busy for a while.

Why, Crank 2 of course.

Also in Fopp picked up Amazing Stories Season One (£5) and The Early Hitchcock Collection box set (£13) - 9 films spanning 1928 to 1932.

Regular Fopp-sters please note - 5 pallets worth of cheap stock started hitting the shelves today.

I was holding out on getting Crank 2 in the hope there'd be a 1+2 set with more extras for the first one (I know other countries have all sorts of commentaries and features and whatnot), but it looks like it ain't gonna happen (same with a region 2 director's cut of Commando).

Still, I might motion down to Fopp tomorrow.

If that Trial of a Timelord box set appears again, can you nab me a copy?!

Damn you/thank you Sostie. I shall have a good nose round Fopp next weekend. I shall be poorer, but no doubt slightly happier too.


Incidentally, I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this on forum already, or if anybody is even aware, but The Peter Serafinowicz Show DVD is scheduled for release on 1st Feb 2010. Bang!

Have you been firing Kitchen Gun?

No need! I've managed to bag me a copy for £6.21 from Amazon! (now I just have to watch it . . .).

The Inbetweeners Series 1 & 2
Ghost World
Juno

I love HMV sales.

That's my business.




So does me. I boughtified The Beat That My Heart Skipped, and a Kubrick DVD boxxy set.

That's a fantastic film, I borrowed it from my library a few years back just because I liked the title.

So do I; I got a copy of The Long Way Down for just £2.99 last week (and I was prepared to pay £15 for it from Play), as part of my Dad's Christmas present.

However, I also want to watch said DVD so I was toying with the idea of buying my own copy... only to find out that they have took the sale off and put it back up to £22! Figures. I'll just have to wait until my dad has watched it and borrow it.

Thanks to Fopp staying open until 10pm, I managed to bag a copy of the first season of Northern Exposure for a fiver! (how long are the episodes? There seems to be a lot of them on each disk for something that is 45 minutes long . . .).

They are about 40 odd minutes long. Love to hear what you think of it. One of the best TV shows ever. If you don't fall in love with Cicely and it's folk you have no heart.

Cheers.

I'll probably watch them next, I'm just finishing up some old Next Gen episodes at the mo . . .

Cassandra's Dream, Robots and Once for me, and Bee Gees - One Night Only for my mammy for Christmas. This may be the first time I have ever managed to get her a present so early - before I've even finished buying for my dad (who is the easiest to buy for out of my six main family members), in fact.

Teeth for £3 at Fopp. Already seen it twice, but it's such a good film with an incredible lead performance from Jess Weixler, the price was right!

This Is Shane Meadows (Twenty Four Seven, A Room For Romeo Brass, Dead Man's Shoes, This Is England)
Somerstown

I already own Romeo Brass and Dead Man's Shoes but it was about the same to buy the collection as it was to buy the other two separately, and the extras make up the difference nicely. Somerstown I haven't seen since I watched it in the cinema but watching Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee reminded me how much I liked it.

I ordered Neverwhere and The Land Before Time [1 & 2] from Play last night; like I hadn't bought enough DVDs for one day!

State of Play - the telly version. Never seen it, thought I should.

The Shield: The Complete Collection

Because I have no fucking willpower when it comes to DVD boxsets. I'm even seriously considering buying the Deadwood: Complete Collection that's going for £45 at HMV at the moment and I already own it all on DVD.

How much? Fopp were just putting on their shelves this lunchtime at £45.
