Primer. Has anyone else seen this movie?

by **Hollywood_Bob** on Wed Jun 07, 2006 1:40 pm

last DVD I bought was the Venture Bros. Season 1....best buy in the last couple of months easily. Way better than any of the re-issues that have been spilling out all over the place, with the exception of course of the Dirty Dozen.

I just received Looney Tunes Golden Collection 1 and 2

by **raasnio** on Wed Jun 14, 2006 6:07 pm

I bought Venture Bros soon after it was released.

This week I was shopping online and purchased the latest Venetian Snares CD and decided to pick up Serenity as well.

I just bought Sympathy for Lady Vengeance - hope to watch it later in the week in a double header with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

by **Proinsias** on Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:02 am

Bought myself a Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Dead Mans Shoes double bill. The formers got the best title sequence in a long long time and the latter gets better with each viewing. The term - 'Fuckin elephant wiv massive eyes' - inspired.

Kingdom of Heaven - 4-Disc Director's Cut

I have yet to see the film at all, but I do recall reading complaints of how it was cut. I'll now get to see this as intended.

Last weeks media fix included:

History of Violence
Chronic-What! Cles of Narnia
Bakshi's Wizards (not as good as I remembered)
THX directors cut

by **Doc Holliday** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 8:05 am

What did you make of History of Violence Unikrunk? I really rate that movie.....but a lot of people were disappointed by it :shock:

I finally watched Sympathy for Lady Vengeance last night. I'm still reeling from it....what a brutal, cold, thought-provoking film. And yes, ok, some warmth in there too courtesy of her daughter....but I say all of the above in praise of the movie, not to its detriment.

I've watched the films you'd expect in terms of Asian - Flying Badgers, Hero, Ong Bakk, Tigger's Dragon.....but Sympathy really is the only one that stood out to me as authentically Asian cinema....as opposed to Hollywood-meets-wirework-meets-subtitles.

I am now resolved to get the other two films from the Vengeance trilogy. I also need to watch Lady Vengeance again as last night I was too busy watching it to think about it an have most likely missed a lot of little detail.

A really, really good film.

by **The Vicar** on Thu Jul 13, 2006 5:00 pm

Just picked up Island of Lost Souls with Charles Laughton & Bela Lugosi.
Its the first go at HG Welles's Island of Dr. Moreau.
I've waited a long time to viddy this....

dont wait too long to see them!

by **sleepflower** on Thu Jul 13, 2006 7:08 pm

I bougt the DVD thw work of director mark romanek.

All of his music videos and some extra stuff, with storyboards and photos in the booklet (about 50 pages).

Haven't watched much yet.

For the record, I though History of violence was amazing. Only saw it once at the cinema, got the DVD last month, just gotta find the time.

by **happydude3** on Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:24 pm

Vicar: I'm assuming that Island of Lost Souls is Region2? Damn, I don't get why they keep releasing second tier Universal stuff here- see the forthcoming Karloff collection- and this is nowhere to be found.

Otherwise:

Buffy Season One
Lawrence of Arabia
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

by **athenabodicea** on Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:26 pm

Last DVD I purchased (this week actually) season 3 Scrubs...
This is the season with Michael J Fox....
He was really fucking amazing.....

I already have seasons 1 &2...
I LOVES ME SOME SCRUBS!

I don't think its any kind of region at all - some bloke burned a copy off laserdisc...damned nice copy too.
Picked it up on eBay, of course.
As far as I know there's never actually been a legit DVD release of this title....and there should be.
Laughton is almost impossible to take your eyes off.

by **Leckomaniac** on Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:11 pm

The last DVDs I bought were Howl's Moving Castle, and Spirited Away.

by **The Vicar** on Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:13 pm

I've heard good things about Spirited Away...are they correct?
Not certain about Howl's Moving Castle.

by **Leckomaniac** on Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:22 pm

Both films are excellent. The animation is top notch and the voice talent is exceptional. I strongly suggest renting the films to see if you enjoy them.

Suitable for Jillian?
( age five? )

She's a bit advanced in her viewing sophistication than a lot of kids her age.
She'll chose Iron Giant over a Care Bears video, fer instance.

by **St. Alphonzo** on Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:38 pm

I just bought the Pink Floyd "Pulse" DVD. No Roger Waters, but having a full-length live version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond pt. 1" is worth the Costco price of this one.

My 10 year old loves them.

On another note, I got the Brisco County Jr. Series the other day.

I'm a huge Miyazaki fan, and loved SEN NO CHIHIRO / SPIRITED AWAY,
but I was disappointed by HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE; something was missing
there for me; like hints of a war we never really see, and the heroine
spending most of the film as a crone! I want valiant, virtuous, pixie-girl
heros from Miyazaki, not depressed crones!

That settles it.
Spirited Away, and if she likes it, Howl.
Can't wait to see what she makes of these....

Thanks Bob & ZZS.

I just picked up that new 2 disc Halloween documentary.
Where it goes over all the movies in depth and has a fuck-load of interviews and what-not...

I'll chime in eventually when I get a chance to check it out...

It was just under $20 too...plus, of course, "Fuck-You Tax"

that's a good disc...some good special features...I actually recently picked up that one - Signs, 6th sense and checked out all the features over a couple days...(as well as the village, which i already had)

Very comprehensive and - say what you will bout Night's ego - at least there is alot of in depth stuff to peruse over...

enjoy it well...

Excellant.
She likes things with princesses in them.
Of course.

by **AtomicHyperbole** on Tue Jul 25, 2006 4:39 pm

If she's five either Totoro or Kiki's Delivery Service will delight. Particularly the latter. I think it's Miyazaki's most accessible film OVER Howl's and Spirited Away. Mononoke... could possibly be a little boring for her. It's quite deep, no doubt a beautiful film, but was necessarily criticised for casting its net too wide and contains some quite violent scenes.

by **Alex DeLarge** on Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:20 pm

I just got the collectors addition of To Kill A Mocking Bird, Criterion Fear and Loathing, C.H.U.D., Ichi the Killer, Robocop, Mean Streets, Straw Dogs and SE Once Upon a Time in the West. It was my first visit to Ameoba and i got a little excited.

Took a picture at the same spot Shadow did for the cover of Endtroducing.

by **Seppuku** on Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:45 pm

I got a friend of mine out in China to buy me three boxsets: 1) Had 15 Ingmar Bergman films 2) Had 17 Akira Kurosawa films 3) Had every film Hitchcock ever made. He got 'em for next to nothing as well. Sure some of the early Kurosawa movies have some very fucking dodgy translations (a quote from One Wonderful Sunday: "You will eat me later at restaurant?" when a character was asking a woman if she'd go to dinner with him), but at that price I'm not complaining.

by **tangerine** on Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:50 pm

Jack and the Beanstalk! Good ol' childhood memories.

And I just got my Flash Gordon dvd out of my grandma's attic where it has been waiting for me since I moved.

Thinking about getting The Story of O next, that s/m cult flick. Never seen it tho.

I have, repeatedly...weird shit. You should make it a double-feature with The Story of Ricky.

Heh heh, another one recruited to the Shady Acres asylum. Soon I'll get you all to watch that movie, and then I'll have all my friends around me to play with!

dude, me too.

we have a couple of pretty bitchin indie record shops down here in SD. Lou's Records, Off the Record, Blue Meanie, etc. but the first time i went to amoeba in SF, i almost cried. it was like almost a spiritually moving kind of experience. like i have thought about planning trips around going to that store, because they have everything. and i mean fucking EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
best record shop EVAR!!!!!!!
now they have one in LA, which occasionally has some great in-store performances, but they still pale in comparison to san fran. if you like records, and you are going to be in san francisco, do yourself a favor, and budget a few extra dollars to drop at old amoeba. you wont be sorry you did!
