Ah, it's probably a better experience on video anyway, since the "Director's Cut" film prints were actually blown up from video. I saw it and it was very soft and noisy. Sound was rather good, though.

 

[Carl Walker]

I don't say it enough, Mike, but thank you for your hard work!

Donnie Darko Director's Cut

$14.99 Each
Price Good for One Day Only
Limit 1 Title Per Customer

Finally, a light week for me - I'm considering Taxi as a blind-buy, but I'll mostly likely pass. Only definite title is Raise Your Voice (for my daughters).

 

[ChrisBEA]

Jeff,
My recommendation would be to avoid Taxi, it is an awful movie. At most I would recommend renting it first. Every movie has its fans but this probably has very few.
My opinion of course...

 

[Citizen87645]

Thanks as usual. Angel S5 for me and the collection will be complete!!!

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Saw day arrived, and there was much rejoicing heard 'round the entire realm of Weinbergia.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I once spent a year in Weinbergia. I think it was on a Sunday.

OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY at Deep Discount $9.00

 

[Harold Wazzu]

Probably the only person willing to admit he's gettin Little House S7 but ah well

 

[Mike Frezon]

I'd be admitting it if it were true, Harold. But its not. I think the Little House sets are just priced a bit too rich for me. Little House was a great program.

There are lots of TV Shows on DVD I'd be latching onto if money were no object. But, dammit, it is!

 

[Moises]

I'm surprised more folks aren't snapping up Motorcycle Diaries. I don't recommend blind buys to anyone, but this has been one. One of the best of last year, and my only purchase this week.

Weinberg! It's Moises from FSU. I hope to see you in The Land of Aus(tin) in March. I'm hearing rumblings we get to see Sin City early. Don't quote me on that.

Back on-topic...at the least, give Motorcycle Diaries a rent. I wish more people got to see it. Too bad a spanish language film so often equals "I don't think so" to the big chain theatres.

 

[Andrea W]

Donnie Darko DC for me. Thanks, Mike.

 

[Jeremy Stockwell]

Harold, I see your Little House Season 7 and I raise you. . . the first five seasons of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.



Actually, I'd be admitting it, too, if it were true, but it's not.

Though I will admit that we own Seasons 1-6 and will eventually probably pick up S7 as well, but, alas, not this week.

We just finished LHoP S3 and started S4 over the weekend, so it will be a while before we're ready for S7 anyway.

Anyway Harold, you may indeed be the only person willing to admit that he's getting it who is actually getting it!

[Mark Zimmer]

Looks like just Angel season 5 for me this week. Good thing since I have 6 things to review for next Tuesday....including the four-disc set of Thomas Edison films from Kino, which looks pretty darn good.

 

[Grant H]

Young Einstein and Ice Pirates can also be had for $9/ea. at Deep Discount DVD FYI.

 

[DustinLC]

I really need an update on this Donnie Darko business. Seems like there's one version after another being released.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Dustin: THIS THREAD should help. Good luck. I don't know anything about the film...except that it seems the people who enjoy it--enjoy it with a passion.

 

[Greg Layton]

Donnie Darko DC is all for me. I'll probably rent Saw at some point, but I've got a lot of movie watching to do thanks to all the movies I bought this past weekend. So many movies, so little time.

 

[Malcolm R]

Not really. There was the original theatrical version, now there's the director's cut version. Two versions.

The DC played in a theater near me for a while as a midnight weekend show, but I never made it there. :frowning:

 

[DustinLC]

Oh I see now. There was always talk talk talk until now and there was the theater re-release.

I have the original and for a while was into all the threads that talked about it. However, the moment passed for me and everyone is still talking about it. That's why it's confusing for me. I guess there's a lot of new cult members who keep the worshiping alive .

I thought this movie has been dissected to death. Maybe it's worth checking out the DC to see if it solves anything .
