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?

Got Rushmore last week.
Excellent film. I'd not seen it for ages and hadn't realised it shares so many cast members with The Royal Tenenbaums.

T'is an enjoyable HK action flick. Chow Yun-Fat as a slacker goofball cop partnered up with a cliched tough maverick cop, plenty of action and violence, Mr. Yun-Fat shooting a shotgun around a corner with the help of some rope, a cool chainsaw fight, and a good little car chase scene. Good stuff.

I got this today. It arrived in a box the size of an X-Box, it was absolutely full of 'protective' material, and to top it off, the case was still cracked.

I got this today. It arrived in a box the size of an X-Box, it was absolutely full of 'protective' material, and to top it off, the case was still cracked.
Just ordered the first two series boxsets of Minder for the nice low price of £15.99 each. A classic show.
