I bought a few DVDs today,

I went to Borders Books, and they had:
Pink Panther 2(2 disc set) for $7.99, so I got that, as I also already have all the previous Pink Panther films.

Then I went to FYE, and got:
What Have You Done to Solange? It was "used", but like new, even the booklet, for $5.71 total.

Then I went to Best Buy, and got:
Bruno, I saw this at the theater, and been wanting it, and they had it on sale for $12.99.
Tim & Eric Show, seasons 1,2,3, these were on sale at $9.99 each. I love this weird show.

So, that's my shopping for the day.

I wonder does anyone like The Life and Times of Tim here? That's my favourite cartoon now. Rte is showing it in the drunk shift half past two in morning, which suits me fine. The Reaper was in the same slot, another favourite.

I'm embarrassed to say that I never heard of The Life and Times of Tim. I just looked it up on wikipedia.

I might have to add season 1 in queue.

I actually liked Pink Panther 2. My family members and friends didn't care for it though.

I was pleased with Pink Panther 1(Martin), suprised really.

I never heard of the Life and Times of Tim either.

I'm probably the only one in Europe following this show.

I recently watched 2 great newer movies.

Just today, I saw Avatar. When it came out, I didn't think I'd like it, as I haven't taken too well with the over abundance of CG effects films, it just seems like every movie these day is a 3 hr CG fest. But it did look somewhat interesting. Well, my buddy loaned me the DVD, and I was really impressed. I really liked it a lot, even the ending. I was very impressed.

Another one I watched last nigh was Ninja Assassin. I love the hokey 80's Ninja films, especially those of the Tang, Lai, Ho filmakers of China. I again, was thinking this would be modern CG craptacular, and again, I was wrong. This movie was pretty awesome. Of course it can't be compared to the older ninja films, and it shouldn't be, this is a well done modern take on ninjas, with a decent budget. I'd recommend this one, and the Avatar to those who haven't seen these.

Just watched the series finale of 24. And i must say I liked it much better than the finale of lost. Sorry Lost guys that is how you end a series.

Just watched THE ROAD.

This is by far the most depressing and disturbing movies I have seen a awhile. It is about a father and son heading south after a apocalypse and staying clear of people who have turned into cannibals because of lack of food.

After seeing this I have no intentions of trying to survive a 2012 scenario in some bunker to realize the long lasting hell which is on top.

I think I'll download it now.....

I've been watching Treme on hbo on demand, and I must say this show is really good. Haven't seen much about it in the press but it is really well done, do yourself a favor and check it out.

I've also been watching the Ricky Gervaise show, which is like an animated talk show if you haven't seen it.. Question for you brits or other fans, "was this a real talk show on radio over there that they decided to animate or is it made specifically to animate?....

[truthwolf1]

I wish I had hbo, especially back during the Soprano days.

Waiting on The Wolfman to get to the 1 dollar Redbox.

The Crazies and Warlords also coming.

I am so cheap when it comes to Hollywood.

It was a Podcast and a show on XM radio. I LOVE this show. I find myself laughing so hard sometimes I almost lose my snus.

I went to Best Buy the other day, and picked up a newer film called Ninja, with Scott Adkins, not familiar with him, but it was $4.99, also, same price was Sukiyaki Western: Django. Haven't watched these yet. Also picked up a 4 film set called Ninja Legendary Assassins.

I did watch Mel Gibson's Edge of Darkness this last weekend, and it was really good. Proving you don't need a computer effects spectacular to have a good movie. Oh, also watched Travolta's To Paris with Love, or is that From Paris? Anyway, it didn't have any slow parts, but it was so over the top it was totally unbelievable, it was entertaining, but I don't think I'll care to see it again.
