So, you're going to give me a hard time because I don't like crass humor? That's pretty shallow. Steve Carrell's a funny guy, but this last one didn't do much for me, personally. Granted, "Ring 2" was funnier, albeit unintentionally, "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" was more my style. You know, that "British humor" nobody seems to understand, but is quick to dismiss?

Just...wow.

I've seen 4 movies in the past 2 days, 2 each day, at the theatre.

"Four Brothers" - Singleton's 3rd best behind "BITH" and "Shaft". Little too heavy on the unnecessary profanity, but a really good Western/Reveneg flick. Not quite up to snuff with "The Devil's Rejects" though.

"March of the Penguins" - Beautifully shot, great narration, and a really sweet film overall.

"Sky High" - Uber family friendly superhero movie with lots of positive reinforcement towards family togtherness. Very fun to watch, probably get the DVD.

"Red Eye" - Wes Craven's best movie since "Scream", hands down. Tight script, good pacing, characters you love to hate, and stays very tense until the action packed, and sadly cliched, last 10 minutes..where Wes Craven really doesn't know where to go with it. Infact, it's basically the original "Scream" ending all over again.

I'm hoping to see "The 40 Year Old Virgin" tomorrow, possibly "Valiant" as well.

Also today, those of you who happened to pick up 20th Century Fox's The Simpsons: The Complete Sixth Season  today will find a little card inside your packaging... "For all those that fear change." Basically, if you don't like the new "character head" packaging, Fox is offering to send you (for the cost of the postage) replacement packaging for the Season 6 set that matches the packaging for Seasons 1-5. All you have to do is call 1-888-223-2369 for instructions (the insert mistakenly says it's a 1-800 number - it's not), OR visit the special simpsonsbox.com  website the studio has created to handle the replacement program. You know, I have to give Fox a lot of credit, both for trying something new with their packaging AND for offering to take care of the fans who preferred it the old way. Very nice indeed.

I had a great weekend movie wise and I wanted to share, sor-ry. Besides, you can't "scalp" something that no longer has an established value, not that a $0.99 starting bid is scalping, not to mention profits go to buy ME more movies. If that's the case, there's tons of people just like me that you guys deal with on a regular basis if you're buying anything released before ROTS.

I'll refrain from sharing anything I bought, rendering my participation on these foums useless.

Ruth Buzzi - Laugh-In Bag Lady
Jim Nabors - Gomer Pyle
Florence Henderson - Mrs. Brady
Sandy Duncan - Peter Pan
Candice Bergen - Murphy Brown
Ben Vereen - Ehh..he was a dancer?
Phyllis Diller - Comedienne
Vincent Price - You're kidding..........
Valerie Harper - Had a sitcome
Twiggy - 60's supermodel


Picked up "Kung Fu Hustle" as well, that was it. Was considering "Dead Next Door" but passed. Probably will get "Sin City" for now, along with...



Only points of interest the rest of the month for moi aside from the 3 disc "Gladiator" and a blind buy of "Oldboy"would be...



I'm hoping by "Ringu 2", you didn't mean this......



One of the worst movies I've ever seen, right along with the new Wonka. 

I had a really good afternoon, DVD wise. Got "Fantasia" for $11, the LE "Halloween" DVD w/ hologram cover (30,000 worldwide) for $5, got 2 Disc "Close Encounters..." for FREE, and sold my "War of the Worlds" disc for $60.

Nothing of interest this week, until I rent/evaluate "Downfall". Good month overall with the new Dave Chappelle DVD, 3 Disc "Gladiator", "The Dead Next Door", new "X-Files" set, "Kung Fu Hustle", and SE of "The Transporter"

..all this on the heels of learning about the new "Batman" and "Batman Returns" 2 Disc sets!
