"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?

Anchorman and Dodgeball

Picked up The History of Beavis and Butthead on eBay.

Very pleased as it's extremely rare. Why? It was set to be released, only without Mike Judge's knowledge and permission. When he found out he got in touch with MTV and told them they had broken their contract by not including him. So now some of the DVD's had been sent out, they had to be called back and the rest were deleted.

However some copies stayed out and when it was originally released it could fetch up to $500 on eBay. I bought one (although not for that price) and it turned out to be a pirate copy. But this time...I think I may have the real thing and only for £11.

I sure hope it's real.

Anchorman

I bought Creed's Greatest Hits, which had a bonus DVD. Does that count?

Sledge Hammer Season 1

I've only seen a couple of episodes but what I've seen has been good.
