What should I get when I get home?
« on: November 07, 2009, 07:43:00 AM »
I got a problem,,being here for a month has set me back on my dvd collection a little.
 Sooo,,Im asking you fine people here in Diasfora what new dvd release should I get the day I get home?
 There are so many that came out this month that I cant decide which one to get first
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

Could thing is.. the major retailers are having price wars on news DVD's here. So, if you're going to flat out buy any new releases.. it will be a good time to do it.


..and i'll come back later and list a few and see if you have them.

Good luck,,I got over 400 at the moment and thats after the ex came over and took ones SHE wanted.
I was leaning towards Night At the Museum 2,,I liked the first one,, but I havent had a chance to see anything about the new one.
Maybe Angels and Demons,, the book was fantastic .

I heard Angels and Demons is better than The Da Vinci Code

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!

What about older movies, and foreign films.. how are you stocked on those? There's got to be something you're missing.

The movie is good. I think you will enjoy it. I liked it much better than Da Vinci Code.
I am harsh on movies that are created on a book. I thought The Da Vinci Code deviated too far from the book, but Angels and Demons was much closer to the book itself. The acting was better in my opinion as well.

side note- If you enjoyed the book version of A&D, you must read Brown's new one- The Lost Symbol.  That one will make a good movie too.  :)

Ilove Dan Brown,,Ill look for that book when I get stateside.
I wish they would make more Clive Cussler movies.
Sahara was good,( I like Dirk Pit) but the book was better, they left alot out when they made the movie.
I keep my standards low.

Have you ever seen the remake of Zat?ich, directed by, and starring Beat Takeshi? I like old Zato also.. but the new version is cool too, and something I can see you liking.

You know,, I saw that at Best Buy tuesday,, but I ended up taking oyur advise and getting an indie movie from New Zealand called Last Of the Living.

Not bad,, lower budget, but cool story in my opinion.
I even had to go to Scotland to get a couple movies Ive been after for years, Mario Bava and Dario Argento together in Demons 1 and Demons 2.
I got them for a pound each,,and here when I saw them on VHS they were 18 each.

^ about 30 minutes ago I had a long highly intellectual conversation with a random stranger where I explained the significance of zombies and their current day status. I was highly persuasive. And the conversation was super funny :D .. but actually good, and sort of clever also. It was memorable.

Seems zombies are a major part of society today.
I allways liked the movies that shpowed society and its changes due to them.
Many people think im into the gore and things, but the oposite is the truth.
I allways concider them a study of a society on the decline and another society on the rise.
Take Land Of The Dead for example. It wasnt the canibalism that the movie was about, it was about the decline of one civilazation, and the rise of a new one.
I think thats what Romero's movies were actualy about.

Reminds me of christmas here in my house lol.

School for Scoundrels was good, I have a burned copy of it.
I got Angels and Demons last night,, a little off from the book, but still and awsome movie.
 I loved the whole political thing they showed with the Church.
I keep my standards low.
