Mission accomplished..finally. Rudolph and Frosty
Frosty's a cartoon though..would've sworn it was stop motion like Rudolph. Now just have to get Peter Cottontail at Easter and all will be well. JB were out of stock..EZYDVD were out of stock. Thought I'd try Target and found them on a cheapie table. Cool.
Also got a couple other DVD's for presents. Spiderman 3..which I don't and won't OWN!  Niece's boyfriend should like.

watched Rudolph with the kid last night.
Firstly, I really don't remember this show being crap! But it was! Hate it when one of your childhood memories is completely unbased in reality. Songs were crap, story was crap, overall feel was crap.
Secondly the kid got so freaked out by the snow monster he made us turn it off and this morning wouldn't walk into the living rom until I'd put the DVD away! awwwwww. scarred him for life.
Not so thrilled with my latest acquisition. Will watch Frosty before I let him see it.
Oh but did get the Merlin mini-series for $8 from Coles yesterday.

Nice - Merlin (if I remember correctly) was really quite good.

I remember quite enjoying Merlin.
Picked up a Blackadder season for a Pressie today. They're $13 in Target if anyone's interested! All seasons.
I also want to buy the box set of BSG. All Voyager or DS9 for under $280. I remember paying close to 180 for a single season of Next Gen once upon a time. Granted I rarely watch these things I buy for visual pleasure, but it's great when you REALLY want to and there it is.
One day..one day.. I'm still haunted by images of MD's dvd collection wall that I snuck a look at at the Election party. YEs.. even rivals G's.

Cracker Seasons 1, 2 & 3 ($20/ea)
One of the BBC's most intense and downright brilliant crime dramas. Robbie Coltrane's performance as Fitz is incredible. He's as flawed as a human being can get, but despite this (perhaps because of it) he's every bit as likeable. The stories are gritty and often devastating, and in an odd way, that adds to the charm. Television doesn't get much more utterly absorbing than this.
I only managed to catch a handful of episodes when the ABC repeated this a few years ago - not an ideal way to watch it when each story is serialised over three weeks. Even then, I loved what I saw. I feel like I owe it to myself as a fan of good storytelling to experience every moment of this show. It's just that good.

Right, I've spent a bunch of moneys again down at JB Hi-Fi, but at least I've knocked off two christmas presents to get. Just have to decide who out of Dad and my brother is getting Die Hard, and who is getting Indiana Jones... 
On another note, I picked up Doctor Who Season 1 for about $60 odd. Definitely better than $100 as it was previously marketed, but I'll probably see it next year for $30ish and will be kicking myself.

Another Amazon 24 hour sale: Arrested Development Season 1, 2 & 3 bundle for $30!
These sales are amazing value if you can catch them. Just a few days ago they were selling the complete James Bond set for about $100. Sadly but unsurprisingly, that sold out in a flash.
You can keep track of the Gold Box Deals with this RSS Feed. Alternatively, if you visit Ain't It Cool News, keep a close eye on the right hand TV section. The TV editor has been very reliable lately in drawing attention to the better DVD sales.

Just got my latest order in the mail:
Bladerunner: 4 Disc Edition - I really don't have the room for that big box and won't miss the 5th Disc.
Diehard 4: Not so kiddie friendly version - it's amazing how a few F-bombs and some blood spraying can improve a movie and bring it back to the way it should always have been.
Planet Terror - Haven't watched it yet but it's Robert Rodriguez... I love his movies!
Battlestar Galatica: Razor - Brilliant addition to the BSG series! Just seeing the original Cylon Raiders and Centurions in action during the First Cylon war is worth the price of the DVD. "This has all happened and will happen again." 
Arrested Development: Season 3 - Sad that this is the last of such a brilliant series.

Sad, but oh, what a brilliant ending. Last night my brother, sister and I watched all of season three in a marathon sitting. It was an absolute joy to see the reactions of two first time viewers. And I certainly wasn't complaining at the chance to see it all again. I'm still amazed at the hidden details you can miss even second time around.
In a way, I'm glad Mitch Hurwitz declined the offer to make more. There's no Fireflyesque sense of an infant show robbed of a future. The show ended on a high and on its own terms. So many series outstay their welcome. Sometimes it's a blessing to be left wanting more.

Oh hey - less than 12 hours after promising myself that I would stop buying things like DVDs because I need to save my money, I decided to hit JB HiFi at lunch time and they had the complete first season of The Jetsons for $15.98. Also had the flintstones (various seasons), though I didn't grab any of those.
Retro-futurism is so much fun... Hee.
