  • Kyle Matthews,

    Plus, how do you file it alphabetically? Very vexing!

    Exactly! If I was organised enough to file my DVDs alphabetically rather than just jamming them every which way into a drawer and then piling them around the TV when I ran out of room... This would give me considerable issues!

    Everything else in my life might be in a huge jumble of crazy, and I might keep all my clothes on the floor (which makes it very hard to find things when I have so damn many black clothes) but my books, CDs and DVDs are all in perfect order on their shelves, and I get very cross if people borrow things and don't put them back in place.

  • InternationalObserver,

    Three movies in a single dvd case just looks wrong.

    It's quite easy:

    B is for all the Barbie movies ...
    C is for all the Curious George movies ...
    D is for all the Dora The Explorer movies ...
    H is for all the Hi 5 movies ...
    W is for all the Wiggles movies ...

  • Bevan Shortridge,

    Unfortunately, getting an early R4 release means it lacks all of the special features that the season 3 set gets in the US. The one time they don't screw us on waiting time, they screw us on content...

    True enough. The Deadwood DVDs (well, Season 3 at least) were released here about the same time as in the US, but missing special features. I withstood the extreme temptation to get the BSG season 3 DVDs here to await the US release (March 18), for which I'll be paying the same or slightly less as I would've for Region 4, but getting the special features. Sometimes it is worth waiting...

  • Bevan Shortridge,

    Oh and isn't it weird seeing dirty ole Calamity Jane from Deadwood being the bosscop in "Life" ... that show is growing on me mostly due to gingergod Damian Lewis and offsider Alan Arkin.

    Something of a Deadwood recycle going on in "Life" - Lewis's/Crews's former cop partner was running for sheriff against Bullock in Season 3 of Deadwood, William (E. B. Farnum) Sanderson was a homeless guy a few episodes ago, Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood's Jack McCall and "Mr W") was a Russian mobster. Not that I'm complaining.

    But what about something called the romance collection with Love Actually, Wimbledon, and Bridget Jones's Diary?

    R for Romance?
    H or G for Hugh Grant (ignoring Wimbledon)

    I've just had a look at my DVDs, and I've put The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles and Weird Science under 'M' for 'Molly Ringwald'. Because Weird Science sucks!

    OMG! Burned by my own boyfriend! Hey Russ! I'm f**king John Campbell! So there!

    Get a room you two.

    Oh wait, you already have, disregard.

    Mostly, though. The three-in-box thing are worse special-features/second disc wise. You can also buy a Three-Disc special edition of The Wizard of Oz for $35.

    Sure, but it's a bit like my self of Jane Austen novels> I'd love to spring for the six-volume Oxford edition -- which is annotated up the wazoo, loaded with scholarly analysis, and the texts are lovingly produced facsimiles of the first editions in well-produced hardbacks...

    But I'm perfectly happy with my paperbacks, which may be a bit scruffy but are perfectly acceptable clean reading copies.

    I'm enormously chuffed with the 'Final Cut' of Blade Runner, which comes with a second containing a three hour documentary that is a model of its kind. (Also the image and sound quality and as close to perfect as you can get.) I just wasn't sure I was ever going to watch the edition that case out a few months later that also includes four other version of the film, and the kind of geeky micro-analysis you'd have to describe as 'for completists' only.

  • Craig Ranapia,

    Meanwhile, I've wasted productive time watching online 'Partners in Crime' (the first episode of the new series of 'Doctor Who') and ''He That Believeth in Me' ('Battlestar Galactica' - the beginning of the end).

    1) Catherine Tate is bloody good -- vastly helped by a script where Donna was a lot more than the one-dimensional (if still entertainingly OTT) shrew of The Runaway Bride. And I don't anticipate Donna doing a lot of Martha/Rose/Captain Jack unrequited crush pouting. I promise you'll never look at Supernanny or fad diets quite the same way again.

    2) BSG? Oy... Everyone is really, really paranoid -- except for the two thousand souls wiped out during the teaser. (And if Garry Hudsell doesn't score a second Emmy for the feature quality FX, there are no Gods.) Gaius Baltar is kinda sorta like a really horny Charles Manson. The Final Four are having an identity crisis -- and one of them has truly creepy quality time with a Raider. Chemo is doing nothing for Laura Roslin's trust issues. Starbuck can relied on to take any situation and make it a lot, lot worse. Helo and Gaeta are self-righteously hawt. Apollo is whiny hawt. And his father sets new standards in award-worthy stoic inscrutibility. Just as the icing on the cake, Tricia Helfer continues being a sport of nature -- an ex-model who can actually act.
