"What's your recent DVD purchase?"

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?

My business teacher told me, he's normally right about stuff because he is really into his films.

Apparently the alternate ending was filmed first and then they didnt like it so they had to get all the actors back to film the last scene again, so they had to take the crowd from the other scene and put it into the real ending because it would have taken ages to get all the extras back and check continuity etc.

Where did you hear that? From I can see, they took the film and knocked five minutes off it then claimed they'd come up with a new ending.

Staff 1: We need more extras...
Staff 2: How about an alternate ending!
Staff 1: But we didn't film one.
Staff 2: Hmmm. Well how about we cut five minutes off the end of the film and say that that can be a new ending.
