Today I picked up on sale...

Neverwhere - 6 part BBC series - Neil Gaiman incl. commentary from Neil. *never seen this before!

Beware the series...

Contrary to most, I actually enjoyed it but it was written before the book and Gaiman then wrote the book because he was unhappy with the way the TV series turned out...

Just to warn you in case you're expecting a fairly good adaptation...

Thanks Ada, I didn't know that!

@Jim, they had those there as well, so I can get them next time I'm there. In fact they sem to have pretty much the entire collection that's currently available on DVD.
 
I'm pretty much addicted to Othello in all forms, and the other day I perused the DVD sale at university and came across the DVD of Othello, the one with Ian McKellen as Iago. Bought it immediately!
 
I posted a little while ago that this father's day over here seemed to be all about DVD's, mainly war and the duke but I was able to pick up a 3 in 1 with The Island, 2001 and Blade Runner in it. None of which I had watched, The Island didnt impress me but no suprise Blade Runner certainly did and I'm glad I now own it as even though I rarely rewatch movies I think this is one I will want to have another look at, still to watch 2001.

I also bought the extended tv release version of Dune, luckily I got it very cheap as whatever the new graphics add to understanding the storyline they detract from the story as a whole be just being so badly done. I've watched this in 30-45 minutes installments and the case is likely to get very dusty before its pulled back out.
 
Well Snow reminded me that this list existed so my last haul:
Elfin Lied complete collection - so sad
Laputa Castle in the Sky - much needed after watching the Elfin :)
 
Just ordering some books on the internet when I saw that the third series of Hustle (love that programme) was lurking in my shopping basket from way back when. And as it had gone down to thirteen pounds, decided to buy it. Woo.
 
Hmmm, thought I'd posted this somewhere, but...

Received in the mail the other day Vol. 4 of the H. P. Lovecraft Collection, Pickman's Model -- 3 different versions of the Lovecraft tale, with two short films inspired by his work as well as an interview with Ramsey Campbell and Lovecraftian scholar/anthologist/editor/writer Robert M. Price:

Lurker Films—Lovecraft, Cthulhu, Poe, Weird Tales, Movies, FIlms, DVDs

Some very interesting and intriguing takes on the tale on there... one of which was filmed around my old stomping grounds.....:D
 
Small but pleasing haul:

The Host - 2-disc CE
M - 2-disc (Criterion)
3 Films by Hiroshi Teshigahara - Pitfall, Woman in The Dunes, The Face of Another (Criterion)
Life in The Undergrowth (BBC docu series)
 
Received for Christmas today:

Sound Of Music.

Sure it's old hat but I like the music in this...:)
 
Received Leonard Bernstein's Mahler symphonies collection. Yummy!
 
Got Akira Kurosawa's Ran which I've never seen but, apparently, is King Lear set in feudal Japan. I'm looking forward to finding the time to watch this one.
 
Disney's The Jungle Book Special Edition
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Blokee got Eddie Izzard MMVI

Oh it's a brilliant movie. Superb direction by Kurosawa and a great performance from the great Tatsuya Nakadai. Also check out Kagemusha if you haven't already.

I have Kagemusha - a great movie. In fact, it was the prime mover in my tracking down a copy of Ran:)
 
Just received in the post: the unrated director's cut of From Beyond....

Haven't seen this film since it came out originally, so I'm more than a little curious about what the differences are....
 
There's a bit more footage of the pineal gland getting chomped off and a couple other slight additions. But the real difference is in the restored video quality with the correct aspect ratio that reveals the full gaudy glory of this classic.
