What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 8

BigV · 12-13-2005, 04:00 PM

Indulged myself last night and purchased and watched Paint Your Wagon. Real nostalgic comfort viewing. Favorite songs: Born Under a Wand'rin' Star, They Call the Wind Maria...I enjoyed every minute, and there are a lot of them in this movie.

Recent purchases and screenings: Godzilla 2000, The Muppet Movie, Holiday Inn and Going My Way.

Recent rental screenings: Miss Congeniality 2, War of the Worlds, Mr and Mrs Smith, Fantasic Four, Madagascar... others insignificant enough to escape my memory.

Upcoming purchases: Sin City, Kung Fu Hustle, March of the Penguins. Purchased but ungiven: Revenge of the Sith.

I got a defective or scratched Sin City disc from PeerFlix... I guess I'll wait to see the director's cut about to come out.

I got a Hello Kitty DVD from my future mother-in-law for Xmas. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure it kicks all kinds of ass.

Happy Monkey · 12-27-2005, 11:50 PM

Serenity!

American Gothic (the TV series)

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since the series aired. I was quite a fan of the show and participated in an online fanlist at the time. I didn't realize that there were four unaired episodes ... I can't wait until I get to them. So far I've watched the pilot and rewatched the pilot for the production commentary, which was very cool.

Happy Monkey · 01-05-2006, 07:23 AM

A friend lent me Mythbusters. That's a pretty fun show.

(adds American Gothic to Peerflix list. Not available now, but hopefully will be...)

Love, Actually
and
Sin City

both well worth watching.

SteveDallas · 01-05-2006, 10:08 AM

If that's true, maybe they shouldn't auto-dump disks they send you into your "disks I want to trade" pile? (I got a request for "To Die For" a day after I received it.) That would probably make their availability stats plummet, but they'd be more accurate. (And it would acknowledge that some people, like me, are getting some things to keep and have no intention of ever sending them out. But I take that stuff off my list.)

Happy Monkey · 01-05-2006, 12:10 PM

Yeah, but then people might forget to put them into the trade pile again. I think this is probably the best way to handle it, even with the imperfections. Best not to pay too close attention to the availability estimate at all. I just use it to increase the likelihood that I'll get TV seasons in order...

BigV · 01-05-2006, 02:08 PM

Cinderella Man--Superior. Worth purchasing, maybe even new.
Stealth -- SonofV the Elder Christmas gift. I want his giftor's money back. Weak, very weak.
Lady and the Tramp (VHS, but who's counting, really?) -- Excellent. Plenty of replay value.
2006 Rose Bowl -- Loved the show, hated the ending. Very dramatic. (Also not "dvd". whatever.)
Mr and Mrs Smith -- Very Good.
Deliverance -- Christmas present to me (yay!). Good good movie, spooky still through multiple viewings.
Shrek 2 -- SonofV the Younger is fixated on it. Maybe...15-20/wk? Reeeaaaally tired of this one.
Payback -- Very Good with Mel Gibson. Dark, stylish, funny. Check it out.

SteveDallas · 01-11-2006, 01:58 AM

Well, I got a Worst Buy gift card for Christmas and I ended up with a list of about a dozen DVDs that I didn't really want to buy but felt like checking out from Netflix. The first unit was Cleopatra 2525. This is absolutely stunning--stunning in its badness. (Cleopatra's scream/whine is particularly annoying.) It's got its campy moments but over all it's beyond derivative. It was somewhat amusing to watch but I won't be bothering with discs 2 & 3.

We'll see what's next in my queue. (Oh and the disc doesn't like my DVD player--the menus make it freeze half the time.)

wolf · 01-11-2006, 02:03 AM

Would you respect me less if I told you that I actually watched that when it was on the air? I think it ran before Xena: Warrior Princess for a while.

The Chick Zorro pretty much sucked too. Avoid the Chick Zorro.

SteveDallas · 01-11-2006, 02:19 AM

Nope, not a bit--but I have to ask. Does Cleo EVER stop screaming??
