I picked up Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and got my free towel and good thing, it's pouring ******* rain!  >:(

It's more like a hand towel.  :D

Who's exclusive was that, BTW?

Need feedback here folks. Hitchhikers.  Never read the book, trying not to buy this blind.  The only pick up this week was the Directors Cut of Natural Born Killers at Target.  $5.99 ;D

Rent it.

I thought it was hilarious (and I hadn't read the book either).

It was at our FutureShop. They always have some free stuff to go with there new DVD releases. It's just like the one in this eBay auction. Dang, that's going for more than what I paid for the DVD!  :o

I'll be watching Hitchhiker's on the weekend but nothing beats the original BBC series.  ;)

Someone's on a Cronenberg kick!  ;D

I didn't grab anything this week, but am planning on the new seasons of South Park and Arrested Development next week.

Yeah, I've only seen maybe 5 or 6 of his films, but every one I see I end up thinking is great - so I figure I'll just keep picking them up and collect 'em all...  Dead Ringers and Rabid are probably up next.

Hmm..well, since I last posted I sold about 25 or so titles and then bought/ordered/recieved the following:

Marx Bros. Silver Screen Collection (OOP)
The Rock: Criterion
Halloween 4
Prom Night (OOP)
Bad Taste 2 Disc LE (OOP)
Jurassic Park Trilogy 4 Disc Set (OOP)
Scream Box Set Bonus Disc
A.I 2 Disc SE
Don't Be A Menace... UR SE
Scary Movie 3.5
The Longest Yard (2005)
Mallrats 10th Ann. Edition
Carlito's Way Ultimate Edition
"Ed Wood" (The OOP Recalled Edition)
Haggard
Swamp Thing
CB4
Darkman
Rounders SE
The Fugitive SE
Maniac
The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection
Bourne Supremacy
Maximum Overdrive (OOP)
ROBOTS
Almost Famous 3 Disc Bootleg Edition (OOP)
Superman: The Movie
The Pianist 3 Disc LE
Munster, Go Home! (OOP)
Sin City (Dwight/Gail Cover)
Delta Force
Spiderman LE DVD Gift Set (OOP)


This weeks purchases, however..

The Fly SE (2/$20)
The Fly 2 SE ($2/20)
The Fog SE (Free ticket to "The Fog" 2005)
The Warriors DC
Cinderella PE
Star Trek: Nemesis CE
The Amityville Horror (2005)

"Suicide Club" is an odd movie. I saw that a year or so ago, it's more of a parody on how pop music influences todays teens, with glam rockers that like to hang out at bowling alleys.

I saw "Man With the Screaming Brain" this past Saturday on DVD, (got a PT job at Hollywood Video), and I couldn't stand it.. Don't see much re-watch value in it. Same for "Alien Apocalypse". Also saw "The Interpreter". Pretty boring and anti-climactic a la "The Manchurian Candidate" (2004), however, "My Summer of Love" was excellent.

BTW, if you're looking to get into Cronenberg, don't buy "Rabid". It's one of his worst, and that's pretty much public opinion. I'd recommend "The Brood" if you've never seen it. It's easily one of his best, and is better than half the Horror/Sci Fi out there today, even at 25 years old.

I'll end up renting "Kicking and Screaming" and "Kingdom of Heaven" on Thursday to review, while "Unleashed" and "Haute Tension" have been on my wishlist ever since I saw them.

Always seems we split right down the middle, eh, Rob. Like 1/2, don't like the other, lol.

Save your money - it was okay, but utterly unspectacular.

It was free. Out of everything that was available, it came down to either that or "Powder" for the freebie.

Deep Discount is having a big sale on Anchor Bay Horror titles. It started on the 1st, which was then the "Book of the Dead" 2 pack was announced, so I hopped on it, and pre-ordered the set for $33/shipped.

As for re-releasing the original "Book" singularly, nobody knows.

YOINK!

 "H" is a pretty good movie, I bought "Stacy" the other day for $3.99 and love it, and "Evil Dead Trap" may be a blind buy pretty soon here.
