In happy news...
Jan. 17th, 2005 01:48 amI just blew about 1/8th of my tax refund on DVDs...
Saturday night, I bought the Out of Print Criterion Collection Silence of the Lambs DVD off eBay.
Then, today, I went to Best Buy and went bargain hunting:
Dark City
Jaws
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Monty Python Live!
The Hours
Go
AND
Josie and the Pussycats, my favorite bad film this side of Plan 9 from Outer Space. It's just a fun fun flick that's completely over-the-top. It's at once a complete consumerist shill and a semi-satiric commentary on consumerist shilling. Just one of those bubblegum movies that I enjoy way more than I should.
Nice upshot of today's purchases is that I only need to replace my VHS of Life of Brian with the Criterion DVD and purchase Life of Python, and my Monty Python DVD collection is pretty much complete. ETA: Also, I just now saw that And Now For Something Completely Different is on DVD. It's pointless to buy it really, seeing that I own the entire series and the movie's just refilmed sketches from the show, but... I must have it all.End Edit
I was thisclose to getting Angel Season 3. I really need to get 3 and 4 before my birthday, because Angel Season 5 is released on my birthday, and then I can start my Ultimate Buffy Marathon just like every other Whedon-obsessed geek-with-no-life in the nation.
I need Parker Posey and Sarah Polley icons...
