Oh hey, this one slipped back a bit.
New Acquisitions!
I resolved just before Christmas that due to my and my family's love for Hayao Miyazaki films, I'd pick some up when I could. So recently I grabbed:
Princess Mononoke. Brilliant. Amazing. Insert your choice of positive adjective here.
Porco Rosso. Actually my favourite. Yes planes, predictable, I know. Least I'm consistant.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Laputa – Castle in the Sky
Howl’s Moving Castle. Gorgeous.
Spirited Away. Excellent but overrated.
Kiki’s Delivery Service. Cute.
My Neighbour Totoro
I've also rounded out my Pixar Collection and made my Blood Offerings to John Lasseter with:
Ratatouille
Cars. I should thank BBN and Sammich for helping convince me of this purchase; they championed the film recently and reminded me how good it is.
Finally, my Blade Runner – Five Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition turned up, so I can stop fretting about that. A briefcase full of Blade Runner is a pretty cool way to wake up in the morning.
Finally, the great Stardust has finally made its way to DVD. Love this film.
Be seeing you,
Magnus Darcrider

Ah..yes the DVD thread so we know what we can ask to borrow 
Bladerunner set..almost bought it the other day, but will beg for a borrow or a viewing soon MD.
My latest buyings were Chicken Run, Mouse Hunt and Muppet's Treasure Island. Nice to have a kid to buy for. Not that I don't love these myself. Munchkin is walking around quoting Chicken Run
"I don't want to be a pie!" in the coolest English accent
Bought Flying High 1&2, although will part with it as it was supposed to be a present.
Next on my list of really would likes are: Stardust, Jungle Book, and the BSG boxset, but I'll probably be swayed by the $8 table at target first. It's amazing how much more appealing a movie is, that you might not have thought of owning, when it's under $10!

Today I decided to use the JB gift card I got for Christmas and so I picked up La Vie en Rose starring Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf (and suddenly I'm craving coffee). The limited edition came with the soundtrack also, so I've put that on. Wooo.
Also picked up Adventures of Don Juan starring Errol Flynn, so yay. They also had The Charge of the Light Brigade but I don't get paid til tomorrow...

La Vie en Rose is brilliant - nicely picked. I'm not sure I want to revisit the movie for a long time, considering the heavy source material of Piaf's theatrically tragic life, but now you've mentioned the music, I might have to track down a good compilation CD. Is it Piaf's original recordings on the soundtrack?

I think it might be - I'm not sure what Marion Cotillard's singing voice is like, but the version of Hymne L'amour sounds very like the copy I have on a compilation at home.
Given the distinctive nature of Ms Piaf's voice, I imagine they used her recordings...

Latest acquisitions have been the Hellboy 3-disc special edition that was released a few years ago in the collectors box with the "Rasputin's Diary" excerpt and Season 1 of World Poker Tour.

I dunno, something about five different cuts of the movie, I guess it sounds alright.

Case? No, it's just a shiny box.

It is - I'm going with the theory that the shiny case thing was a limited edition sort of thingumy-whatsit. Besides, the regular shiny box things sit on my shelf all the nicer. And yes, all the blade runner I could ever want and/or need.
