Today was D(VD)-Day for me -- my first (if you don't count the free copy of Babar: King of the Elephants , that I got in my cereal)!

I guess you now know why my alias isn't dvdhead...

As a matter of fact I don't even have a DVD player yet, I've never been much of a fan of watching movies at home on the TV, I seem to always fall asleep -- to me movies are meant for the big screen! The only reason I'm buying this one is for all the extras...

Any guesses which DVD it is? (...no, not Freddy Got Fingered)

New & Hot Teen Books at Chapters!

Lets see -- anything that did over $100 million in the box office we can count out. It has to be something non-mainstream as that seems to be your primary area of interest.

My guess is Magnolia .

The Fast and The Furious?
I bought it.. Lots of good extras and I enjoyed the movie.
Actually, could it be Monty Python and the Holy Grail SE? My friend just bought it, I can't wait to go over to his house and watch it....

I would say Moulin Rouge, since that was bookhead's top movie for last year. I think it safe to say that wasn't Pearl Harbour... he's got better taste than that.

Girls Gone Wild, Cyc66? I already have Vols. 1-8 on VHS...

No, Gilsan and Brash are correct (and vangleason too, with his anti-guess, but I'm still glowing from his "interesting list" comment about my Top 10 list, because, yes, he is basically a snob) - it is Moulin Rouge!

Yes -- this is a must have in any true DVD collectors library !

I could only part with my copy if someone had a sealed copy of Killer (OOP) for trade !

So you bought Moulin Rouge? I didn't know it came bundled with a free pillow?

Yes, I am a snob. And proud of it! The first dvd I ever purchased was the Criterion release of Nicholas Roeg's "Walkabout". Now THAT is a great movie!!! (On a related note, I now recall that the first laserdisc I ever purchased was the Criterion release of "Taxi Driver" in the CAV format. Still one of my most prized acquisitions and beats the hell out of the supposed collector's edition dvd.)



"Walkabout" is a pretty good one (7/10) and the DVD is decent, but not anamorphic, however, "Taxi Driver", which I once rated 9/10, today is only worth 5/10 in my book and I think I am being generous.

I watched Pearl Harbor for the first time yesterday and say whatever you want, but I enjoyed every minute of it! The three hours flew by very quickly and the DVD has great picture and sound. I watched both the History Channel documentary and the Making Of featurette after the movie and they were excellent as well.

In contrast, I watched The Patriot today and I checked the remaining time several times. Talk about ups and downs! I cannot name another movie where powerful scenes are interrupted with pathetic cliches and banality so frequently. Again, I am generous and give it 7/10, the same as I give "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Moulin Rouge!". (These are all weak 7s, more like 6.5, while Walkabout is a strong 7, somewhere around 7.3). I think the stories of these movies (Patriot, BJD, MR!) are clearly more cliched than PH's, yet they are all critically acclaimed with very good reviews. Well, whatever...

Sonja: Sex without love is an empty experience.
Boris: Yes, but as far as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.

Is that the Superbit version of The Patriot? If so, have you compared it with the regular version?

I don't think that I will be upgrading to the Superbit version of The Patriot...since it was only a fair movie.
