DVD Day

[filkertom]

A number of interesting things today. A special edition of V For Vendetta, and another of A Fish Called Wanda. A collection of three of Olivier's Shakespeare films (Henry V, Hamlet, and Richard III). A Beavis and Butthead collection, if you must. Richard Pryor Live in Concert, which I'm not sure has ever been on DVD before. A box of Peter Lorre's Mr. Moto films. The online animated saga Broken Saints.

Anything need to be on your list?

Ooh, Peter Lorre... It's not The Raven, but it'll do.

You did know The Raven is out on a discount DVD (http://tinyurl.com/epqvd), doubled up with The Comedy of Terrors, right?

I have The Raven somewhere on VHS but I didn't know it was on DVD at all. Thanks!

And if I need more kicks, I'll BUY Mister Moto Flicks!

"I wanna grow up to be Peter Lorre and have a wonderful life....."

[sigh] such an underappreciated actor. Thanks again to Tom for his immportalization in song!

Wow. Awesome Icon, sorry, just had to be said. :-)

S'far as the topic Tom posted..didn't "Wanda" get pushed back?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Indeed it was. No reason given by Sony, but apparently Sony is now taking over MGM's DVD distribution of Region 1 disks, so they may release it later... I hope in time for the holidays. It apparently has been released in the UK and Australia.

I have the original release...will hope the new isn't pushed back too far..

Though, if I had to choose between it and the first season of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Season One", I think I'll be going with the latter. Never having seen the Fry and Laurie show, I'm intrigued, and keep reading good things about it.

Yes, your post today had me go look at trivia for V for Vendetta, then go to IMDB, then look up what else Fry had been in. :-) Thanks!

Glad you like it. Took a while to find a good scan of Issue #1. Maybe I'll animate it some day. Ahhh... the good old days of Valiant.

I just need the Beeb to quit charging $25+ for classic Dr Who disks.

Isn't that the bloody truth.

Fish Called Wanda is on indefinite hold. A friend who works for a distributor has not been able to get a reason why

Not me. I've gotta watch every penny for GenCon next week.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

The pilot for Aaron Sorkin's new show "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" is about to be available to Netflix's members.

If my wife's boss hadn't gone psycho bitch* and fired her last week I'd already have bought V for Vendetta =[.

*probably an understatement, you don't chase your employees into their driveways and yell at them....
