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?

I normally tell my family what I'm buying if they're gonna possibly buy it aswell. Doesn't take much effort really.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I know I mentioned it yesterday but it turns out that not only did my older brother buy it, but so did my younger brother (on the same day). So now we have two copies, though for some reason one is in a black case the other in a white case.

Kinda annoying really as apart from the A Team boxset we havent been getting many DVDs and then we end up wasting money like that. Probably bought in some shop several more punds expensive than if they had bought them online.

I bought 21 grams.

I've not seen it yet, but I heard it was very good.

If not I'm gonna break stuff.
