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?

Yeah, I'd heard Gods and Generals was rediculously long and boring, but I've never seen Gettysberg and both came together for 20 quid. It'll be a LONG time before I watch it.
Took Open water back and got:
The Punisher
Cabin Fever
The Matrix
Identity

Prepare for boredom like you've never experienced. There is about one decent battle sequence, spoiled by the absolutely hilarious performance by some of the actors, which wasn't intended. In particular a scene where Irish troops are forced to shoot at their own countrymen, I can't remember laughing so hard at peoples facial expression as they pretended to act upset.
The rest of the movie is a collection of (very bloody long) speeches that sugar coat the real reasons why the North and South went to war while the standard of acting is so bad it almost feels as though you've accidentally started watching a soap opera set in the civil war.
And it's about 4 hours long too.

Gods and Monsters.
Marvelous character study of the gay Frankenstein director James Whale (Ian McKellen) and his friendship with his gardner Brendan Fraser. Excellent.
