What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just got a couple of new movies recently.

Hollywoodland
Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God.

FELIPE NO

Transformers The Movie 20th Anniversary Special Edition (now there's a mouthful!) arrived today. Only had a brief look at it yet but the image quality is excellent.

How ya doing, buddy?

Picked up the Following Albums, mostly on impulse

Broken Boy Soldier - The Raconteurs
Rabbit Don't Come Easy - Helloween
The Dark Ride - Helloween
Touched by the Crimson King - Demons and Wizards
Billy Talent II - Billy Talent
Reise, Reise - Rammstein

I've played through each of them at least once so far, and am really liking what i hear.

My order at HMV should be in by the end of the week. I ordered Planet X by Derek Sherinian. Looking very forward to that.

Most amazing jew boots

Robotech : The Shadow Chronicles (DvD)
Buckethead: In Search Of The (13 disc set)

That's about it really..

The Shadow Chronicles is meh..not too bad, but not astonishing either.
The Buckethead cd's aren't going to ship until the twenty first of this month..but its probably the second highest priced box-set I've ever ordered..so I'm praying its not crap.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Best Buy had a sale:

1. Team America: World Police
2. The Wedding Date
3. The Breakfast Club
4. The Killers: Sam's Town
5. Dream Girls: Motion Picture Soundtrack

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My internship was feeling generous this month, so I went and had a DVD shopping spree:

• Superman The Movie 4 Disc Special Edition
• Superman II 3 Disc Special Edition (Including the Richard Donner Cut)
• Superman Returns 2 Disc Special Edition
• Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead Man's Chest 2 Disc Special Edition

Should keep me busy for some time

I picked up a copy of the Studio Ghibli film, My Neighbour Totoro yesterday. I have also placed an order for Never Been Kissed, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and 10 Things I Hate About You, which should arrive in a couple of days.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Picked up Saw: Uncut Edition and Saw 2: Special Edition (Unrated) at Target in the $9.50 shelf or wherever. I also bought The Departed -- 2 Disc Special Edition there.

How ya doing, buddy?

Last week, I managed to do something that surprised even me. I actually found a 24 DVD that I didn't already have. I was browsing around at Best buy the other day, and near the season sets I saw a DVD entitled 24 Behind The Scenes: The Editing Process. Now, I knew this DVD existed, but as far as I knew, it was only released in Region 2. So the fact that it was released here is news to me (even the 24 wiki page still has it listed as TBA in Region 1). It was $15 (kind of a rip for only a 30-minute feature), but I honestly picked it up and bought it without even looking at the price.

And today, I went back to Best Buy to pick up Da Ali G Show: Da Compleet Seereez for only $30. I've been interested in getting this show for a while now, but I've just been waiting for the right time (aka the right price) to get it. Never seen the show before, but from what I hear about it, it sounds like something I would like.

Also today, I went to Circuit City and picked up The Loop: Season 1 for $15. I remember this being one of the few new comedies that I liked last season, but for some reason (probably conflicted with another show on my schedule) I never watched that much of it. Since it's actually coming back for a second season, I figured I would pick this up to get prepped for the new season.

Finally, I also picked up the new 24 Declassified novel, Vanishing Point, at Borders today for $7. I'm still in the middle of the third novel, Trojan Horse, so once I finish that and the fourth one (Cat's Claw), I'll probably start reading this one, since these are the only books I've been reading outside of school textbooks.

How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks to my accidentally not cashing a check from two weeks ago, I had alot of extra money and splurged on the following:

The Cube(Really neat movie..I'd seen the sequel on Sci-fi and really wanted to see the original)

Cube 2: Hypercube (After finally seeing the first one, this pales in comparison, but its still a fun little movie.)

At the Princeton Record Exchange, I picked up a smattering of cds for about 2-6 bucks a pop. They are:

Rollins Band - Come In And Burn
Eagles of Death Metal - Death by Sexy
Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding
KMFDM - Money
Powered Up! Mutations and Mutilations of 8-bit Hits
and finally:
Bruce McCullough - Shame Based Man (My other copy was in really bad shape..and this was a godsend)

Oh! Almost forgot, picked up a few other movies at the video place around the corner of my house, they were quite the bargain:

The Gate
Jawbreaker
Street Fighter Alpha: Generations

Whew..I'm done now.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Goo Goo Dolls- Live in Buffalo

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Had some birthday money to spend so i picked up A Twist in the Myth by Blind Guardian and Something Wicked This Way Comes by Iced Earth.

Yup, i'm sinking further and further into power metal.

I forgot the HMV gift cert i got, so i'm going back tomorrow for some stuff i have on hold.

I also ordered A Missplaced Childhood by Mirillian.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shit, this thread hasn't been touched in ten days?

One purchase for me; Explosions in the Sky - The Rescue EP.

Good. Not amazingly good, but a highly enjoyable post-rcok CD, albeit a bit predictable.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spent way more than I intended to this week buying some TV DVD sets. They were all on sale at Best Buy, but I still managed to buy over $100 worth.

First up, I bought The Pretender: Movie Edition for $20. I just bought and finished watching all the seasons of this show last year, so the only thing left for me to do was to get the TV movies that continued the series. Since they finally came out this month, I made sure to get them so I can finish the story once and for all.

Next, I bought Newsradio: Season 4 and Season 5. Season 5 just came out this week, so Best Buy was selling all the other sets for only $18. Season 4 was the only other one I needed, so I bought that along with Season 5 for $30. I now have the complete series, so I'm now finishing up the rest of the sets (the Seasons 1&2 set is the only one I've watched so far).

I also got Sleeper Cell: American Terror, which is the second season of the show. I honestly didn't think this show needed a second season (the first season wrapped up almost perfectly), but since it's there (and only selling for $20), I figured I might as well watch it.

And finally, I got La Femme Nikita: Season 5 for $20 (it's only eight episodes though, so I still wouldn't say it's that great a deal). Unfortunately, I don't even have Season 4 yet (the cheapest I've seen it going for is about $82), so I won't be watching this anytime soon.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I got a 3-Disc set of The Naked Gun movies. They're still hilarious.

I got a shock when I say Anna Nicole Smith in part 3, I had forgotten she was in that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

In an interesting impulse shopping adventure, I got the first Death Note movie, since I'm L and don't mind watching my sexy self over and over again. <3 I've already seen it once, but once I saw a copy sitting on shelf in this store I was at, it was a quick no-thought decision to get it.

And since there was a "discount" if I got two (DAMN THE DISCOUNT!), I also got Tom-Yum-Goong, since Tony Jaa is my current martial arts hero.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Picked up the following today.

-Helloween Live on Three Continents DVD
-A Misplaced Childhood remastered 2 disc edition by Marillion
-Nightfall in Middle Earth by Blind Guardian
-The Black Halo by Kamelot
-The Second Stage Turbine Blade by Coheed and Cambria

I've listened to item two and three so far. I like both of them. A great album by Blind Guardian, and i can tell that i'm deffinetly going to like Marillion. They sound alot like Genisis, or what i've heard of Genisis so far anyways.

Haven't even heard Kamelot before, so this is going to be an adventure.

I liked Coheed's third album, so i'm hoping i'll enjoy their first as well.

As for Helloween's DVD, i can't wait to watch it tonight. This will be the first time i've ever seen/heard Helloween live.

I was also going to pick up Final Fantasy 12 today....... but i couldn't find it. They honestly had no copies at HMV, which is weird, cause last week when i was there, they had like 30. I'll just have to wait.

I also inquired about buying a Wii, and it was really funny how the lady lowered her voice to almost a whisper when she said "they're restocking everyone in April". Guess my Wii hunt is going on stand by till then.

How ya doing, buddy?

I picked up Children of Men (DVD) today at Circuit City.

Great movie, quite possibly one of the best sci-fi films in years. I don't think I've been this engrossed in a futuristic world since, uh...Blade Runner.
(I hate referencing CoM to BR like the critics do, but damnit it's just that good.
A Scanner Darkly doesn't really count, even if I did enjoy the hell out of that film, since it's not so much of a sci-fi flick as a drug movie)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I bought the first volume of Preacher. Such a kick ass comic.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Since my last post here I've accumulated the following:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 2-disc special edition because "Pirates" rocks my socks. <3 Can't wait for the third one.

Utada Hikaru - Deep River - One of my all-time favorite albums, and now I finally "own it."

Utada Hikaru - ULTRA BLUE - This one too. <3 The case of this one is kinda annoying though because it's larger than your typical jewel case, so it doesn't fit in regular CD jewel case shelving. =/

Lastly, I also got my girlfriend's new album, Can't Buy My Love. It's doing pretty well and finally hit #1 this week, and it should be up there for a while. We'll probably get married later this year.



There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just got Regina Spektor's Begin to Hope Bonus Disk...it has like four extra songs, and I'm really excited about it! And Date Movie...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nine Inch Nail's Beside You In Time DVD.
Good performance.



Also, The Simpsons: The Complete 9th Season.



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've gotten two TV DVD sets since my last post.

First off, I got Sliders: Seasons 1 & 2 at Wal-Mart for $20. This was one of my favorite shows ever while growing up, so it'll be great to see it again on the greatness that is DVD. I've probably would have gotten this set sooner, but it's always been so expensive. It first came out for $90, and then it had dropped to about $60, so needless to say I was surprised to see it for $20. I haven't watched any of it yet, but just looking at the packaging and stuff, I can't see how this ever sold for that high (unless the version has different packaging or something).

And just last week, I got Bones: Season One at Target for $20. Never seen the show, but it does look kinda interesting, and $20 for a show so recent didn't seem like a bad deal at all.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Menomena - "I Am the Fun Blame Monster"
I Monster - "Neveroddoreven"
American Football - Self-titled
Joan of Arc - "How Memory Works"
Adam Green - "Friends of Mine"

Frankly, my playlist was feeling light on the experimental, indie, electronic, and anti-folk. XD
