update: Check comments for Brit / Aussie editions
Just how many movies do you OWN??
Too many.
You actually bought “Club Dread”? On its own it has to rank as one of the worst movies ever made, as a follow-up to “Super Troopers” is is also the biggest disappointment of a movie ever in the history of film. The only way it would be worse is if it had been sold as a suppository instead of as a movie, and even then it might have been an improvement. I have no idea what the Broken Lizard boys were smoking when they wrote and produced, but it sure as hell was some sort of grade-a shit.
Hmmmm. Posting lists of movies you must see to escape ridicule, and selling DVDs you don’t want. Kinda obvious conflict of interest here, don’t you think?
Nick —
Club Dread came in a 2-pack with The Girl Next Door. My wife and I both enjoyed it, actually—mindless nonsense with a few laugh out loud bits (like the killer walking up alongside the girl fleeing in the golf cart). Liked Super Troopers better, though.
Goldstein, check out a company called ”Blockbuster Video”.. Theyre really cool. For one low monthly fee billed to your credit card, they let you (get this…) RENT and watch all the movies you want 2 at a time !! That means you dont have to spend the boys college fund buying every title ever produced.. You just buy the good ones… Renting is a new concept in movie viewing thats only been around a couple or three decades.. so I didnt know if y’all in Denver have heard of it yet. I know it takes a while for these innovations to make their way from the Blue coastal states, to the Red…
Thanks for the tip.
What the Hell is “Bounce Ko Gals?” Sounds like some kinda Japanese porno.
Well, not really. But kinda.
Are these widescreen?? And what french titles do you have?
Jeff –
Remember the first law of blog comments: if you find yourself arguing with a dumbshit, remember that he’s probably doing the same thing.
I don’t get it, Robert.
Angie —
Yeah, if it’s available in widescreen, that’s what I have.
In French, I have Nid de Guepes. Maitresse, The Girl on the Bridge, L’Homme Du Train, The Girl from Paris, and a really nice French edition of John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, which includes a lot of extras, most of it in French. These are all Region 2 discs.
I found a vast savings in space when I started tossing the cases and using CD wallets for my DVDs. Just in case you don’t actually want to get rid of some stuff so much as recover the space it takes up.
Yeah, but I have so many that just buying the CD wallets would cost me several hundred bucks… What I need is a bigger place to live and another bookshelf…
Only a dumbshit would argue with a dumbshit. When someone is a dumbshit, think “what a dumbshit” and move on.
Now don’t argue with me any more! I’m a dumbshit! Move on!
Did that hours ago.
But I haven’t.
Hmmm.
I can’t wait until all DVD’s are obsolete and movies come out on flash cards.
heh.
Unrelated, but I think our troops found your “overheard” bunker. No mention of any anal beads, though.
Dude.. with all this talk of new movies I was forced to go out and treat myself to a new addition to my own (much, much, much) smaller collection.. I got “Easy Rider” at Best last night.. I get to watch it today.. They didnt have Gregory’s Girl or Blue Velvet in stock. Where do you find the less mainstream titles ?
Could you list the Aussie and Brit titles (if you already did, I am more than ashamed). Also, will you ship to Switzerland? Prices here are outrageous, and if I can get a few cheap DVDs–especially 1941, I love the way Slim Pickens shouts “Nazis!”–I would be able to live easier with my cultural inadequacies.
Best wishes
Happy to ship to Switzerland, Pigilito, but I’ll have to ask you to cover shipping. Prices on imports: $12 each, 3 for $33, 5 for $50.

With a free, downloadable program such as DVD Shrink and a DVD burner, one could, theoretically, copy DVDs, remove region codes, remove FBI warnings, mandatory previews, commentaries, etc.
Once could compress a double-layer DVD movie (which is most of them) so that it fits on a single-layer DVD, or even a CD.
You did not hear this from me. I did not say this. I was never here.
AB —
Most Best Buys / Circuit City, etc. carry Blue Velvet. For non-mainstream stuff, I look online. Amazon carries just about everything, but I use a number of other online vendors as well.
Thanks Jeff.. I asked my local Best and theyre no longer stocking Blue Velvet on the floor.. only by special order.. Freaky.. cuz everyone else in the world seems to have BV on the floor.. even Target. I think its because of some local complaint or something.. who knows.
Sabah al-hayr Mr. Gold… uuuhhh Jeff,
Could you list any Arabic titles you have have please? Especially American porn featuring Janine Lindemulder or any movie that shows Nicole Kidman’s perfectly symmetrical arse.. Allah be praised.. Also, will you ship (at your expense of course) to Pakistan ? Prices are normally very low here but supply is the problem in my particular area. Please make me your very best offer (you cheap, haggling Jew bastard !).
Shukran. Ma,assalama.

Super Troopers. That’s some good potty humor.
Dibs on Silver Streak & Insomnia.
Done.
how do you want payment?
Anyway that’s convenient. Easiest is PayPal. What titles?
I’ll take 1941, Look back in Anger, The African Queen, and Trainspotting.
I’ll email you with my address and we’ll set up shipping, etc.
If you have Napoleon Dynamite, I’d like to borrow it for a couple of weeks.
