I've seen Memento and I think it's good but I did not know the disc has this feature........sounds like it's worth a look-see. |

Just picked up the 2-disc Memento as well (for $6, everything is pricier in NYC I guess). The region 2 version of Memento did have a feature that played the film backwards. Didn't know the US did via Easter egg. If someone learns how to access it, please post. |

Acquisitions to the House of Yesteryear this week: My A&E order continues to trickle in...just went down to the mailbox and picked up The Avengers '63 Sets 1, 2 and 3. Splurged a bit and bought a pair of foreign film noir DVDs: A Traves Del Espejo (The Dark Mirror) and El Desconocido Del Tercer Piso (Stranger On the Third Floor). Stranger is Region 2, but Mirror will supposedly play in Regions 1-6 (but it's a PAL DVD, so that will be a problem without a region-free and converted player). And there's a thread around here in which someone--I think it was PP, but I could be wrong--remarked that if you didn't see any of the new movies once in a while, you'd turn into a Blue Meanie. Well, just call me "Azul"...but I did purchase Zodiac and Hollywoodland from Columbia House this week...watched Hollywoodland last night and enjoyed the hell out of it, a magnificent film. |

The colorized Bewitched DVDs actually sold better than the black-and-white versions. If Endora were still around I'd request that she transform these consumers into newts. |

Barnes & Nobles "Buy 2, get 1 free" and some Christmas gift certificates netted me three more Criterions, #62 The Passion of Joan of Arc, #98 L’Avventura, and #196 Hiroshima Mon Amour. |

Through the magic of Barnes & Nobles buy 2 get 1 free offer, I was able to get 3 seasons of one of my favorite tv shows of the past - Rocky and Bullwinkle. Jay Ward's wit and the excellent voice talent really make these timeless classics. Can't wait to jump aboard Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine and revisit these golden oldies. |

After all the $$$ I spent on DVDs in December I really should slow down. But it doesn't look like I will. Just received both volumes of The Time Tunnel. |

I hear you, Brother Marlin. I received a Region 2 DVD of Odd Man Out (1947) in today's mail, and the new revised Criterion of The Lady Vanishes (1938). (In my defense, Lady was bought with a Target gift card I received over the holidays.) Oh, and I got some of the Andy Clyde Columbia shorts on sale from Finders Keepers. Let joy be unrefined! |

Just placed my order with Rodney for a mess o'serial. Among other gems, I have Young Eagles coming so I can follow along with LG. I decided to buy all stuff that I don't have on tape. Once I finish up the collection with DVDs, I'll start upgrading the taped ones to DVD also. And then I'm sure a new format will hit! |

www.otrdvd.com I should point out that Finders Keepers is an affiliate of Rodney Co. If you're interested, you should talk with him about procuring these DVDs...he's at www.oldiedvd.com. |
