Before DVDs came along there was VHS. I never bought a single movie on VHS, my brother only bought 3 (SE Star Wars) and my younger brother about 10 (a mix of 80ies films like Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Red Dwarf).
But now we seem to buy DVDs all the time, collectively we have just under 200 DVDs now and we buy atleast 1 DVD a week as a family. (we used to rent a lot but we dont anymore and the nearest cinema is 30 minutes drive away). I guess it is good news for the television and film industries. Anyone else noticed that they're buying more DVDs than they did VHS?
My recent DVD purchase was Donnie Darko Prism Edition. At a very nice price of £4.99 to encourage those who wouldnt have bought the film otherwise, despite having no special features. It's a very interesting and unusual film nothing like I've seen before.
I also pre-ordered a DVD boxset. Most of you are too young and would probably confuse it with the awful Matt LeBanc movie that came out years ago. It's the Lost In Space Series 1 boxset. 8 DVDs, 31 episodes, a collective running time of 23 hours and 42 minutes (possible marathon attempt?) At a nice price of £39.99 "DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!"
Anyone else buy anything on DVD lately?

Next up is either The Last Samurai or Family Guy Compendium, haven't decided yet...

It sure is a darn good movie and the dvd looks mighty fine. Though I prefer the look of the region 1 version; it has all the same extras and disc content (apart from the original Italian mono track I think), but the US version has superior packaging and extra artwork postcards, and I'm a sucker for better packaging.

Yea it was a great movie, I've yet to buy a rubbish HKL title. The scene with the shotgun on the rope was brilliant and the chainsaw fight was crazy, but how on earth someone manages to get back up after a chainsaw in the belly, I'll never know. It was a strange mix, it's a comedy, but when the fighting started it got incredibly bloody and violent, good stuff, as you say.
