I have not watched one episode since it went syndicated cuz I knew they were cutting into the show.

ah what the hell....if any of you would like to donate something to me...please send the Space 1999 Mega Collection or the Monty Python Complete Collection. I wont turn them away.

I've made a request of Santa Claus to deliver to me a single master disc containing every movie ever made. He tried to give me this yada-yada-yada about technology, costs, elf limitations....the normal cop-outs. Basically, I told him I've been extremely good all year, and also that I know people in "high places" that can make life pretty miserable for him (and you know it doesn't get any "higher" than the North Pole).
I know it probably won't happen, but keeping in mind the alternative, I'm sure he'll come through with, shall we say, adequate compensation. It should be a very good holiday this year.
Fuckin' elves...sheesh.

None, really. My mom offered to take on some of the costs for the DDD sale, so I'll get a few of those titles Christmas Day, but as far as what I asked for, nothing in the way of DVDs was included. I've gotten to the point where as much as I love Christmas, I don't base it all on the gifts. Hey, I love free stuff as much as anyone, but I've become more fond of the weeks leading up to Christmas, rather than the actual day, itself.

Pretty much have (almost) everything that I want to this point. Between now and X-Mas, there are only a few releases that I'm interested in... Of those, there are even fewer that I won't buy for myself by X-Mas. That said, I figure I'll use a little cash for M: CC, NIN: Downward Spiral DVD-A and Zappa: Quadiophiliac DVD-A.

Just a few noirs:
Gilda
Mildred Pierce
Dark Passage/To Have and Have Not (yeah I know the latter isn't a noir, but it's a 2-pack)
edit: duh, and the Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection (how could I forget that?!)

Got the Seinfeld set already as a Christmas gift
. I think that was about pushing it for what people would spend for me in terms of DVDs though...
Ah well, looks like treating myself once again

Well, thanks to DDD's incredible, yet sadly expired, holiday sale...I picked up just about everything I needed. hehe. Call me Scrooge.
However, my gal pal (as the tabloids so affectionately term) is picking me up (hope hope):
Lost Boys SE
24 Season Three
Incidentally, I was never a big DVD *purchaser* until I came across this site 6 months or so. Thanks to all you lovely people, I've grown my collection from a measley 10 (I am a loyal and devoted Netflix kinda guy) to over 50. So, thanks to you all, my wallet is a bit lighter but my smile is SOOO much brighter :-)

Like many others, I don't like people buying me DVDs. Those that do know that I like DVDs will give me money or gift certificates.
I suppose what I'm going to get myself (with Christmas money) is
ROTK:EE
Simpsons S5
Top Gun SE
I generally only buy DVDs for one other person and for her I've gotten
Golden Girls 1
Will & Grace 1
Sex and the City 6 Pt2 (although this will probably have to wait till New Years)
