No Tinkerbell for me, but I did get the Warners Gangsters Collection Vol. 4. |

Received my Batman the Complete Animated Series set from Amazon.com today. This is the first time I have ever received a DVD I preordered online on the release date. In fact it is the first time I can remember an online company shipping a DVD prior to the release date. Kudos to Amazon. |

I picked up Starship Troopers 3 and Scorpion King 2, with Natalie Becker looking rather tasty as Lady Astarte! |

Please DO NOT read yesterday's dvd round-up in the NYTimes if you'd like to avoid spoilers. I enjoyed this movie a great deal ...a bit on the unpleasant side, but a solid suspense thriller. |

Gravy, Just wondering--what prompted you to pick up The Umbrellas of Cherbourg? Was there a new edition released that I don't know about, or was this just a film that you've been contemplating picking up for some time. It's one of my faves. It certainly ranks in my top ten. |

It's been on my "to be acquired" list for some time, and I had a discount coupon at Borders, and they didn't have the DVD set I wanted to get, so I did some browsing and went with this one on a whim. You know me. |

Picked up Anaconda 3: Offspring at Wal-mart. Sure is nice to be able to look over the latest DVDs while I'm grocery shopping. Not that it is nice on my wallet. |

I had to get this one too as I have the other two. When I saw that David Hasselhoff was in it, I gulped. |

Having the other two was my main reason for getting this one as well. And like you seeing Hasselhoff's name in the credit gave me pause. I would rate it third in the series. But it is good enough that I'll likely get the fourth film when it comes out on DVD. Edited by marlin lee, Nov 8 2008, 04:26 AM.

From 2 different Amazon sellers, I got the enitire The Avengers '65 A&E sets. I already have the entire '66 sets. Funny that the '67 sets have about twice the shows that the '65 or '66 sets have. Picked up The Cowboys from Wal*Mart today also. |

Mr. Brooke... We're needed. In the U.S., the Avengers were run differently than on British TV. For all intents and purposes, statewise Diana Rigg starred as Mrs. Peel over the equivilent of two seasons, a B&W season of 26 episodes and a colour season of 24 episodes. In England, the B&W shows were broken up over two years (1965-66) and the colour episodes ran in 1967. There are 33 episodes (1968-69) with Linda Thorson as Tara King. |
