It looks like Kowalski had a good recent haul so here’s what I’ve got so far this year.

Has anyone else made any good physical media purchases?

I always search for vinyl on eBay but end up buying on Discogs because the prices are always better. I like it when I order from out of the country and it takes forever, and then its a surprise when they arrive.

Double Indemnity

Thanks. Did you buy anything good lately?

These are my latest. The poster is one I bought, but my daughter surprised me with the 2 vinyl soundtracks today from Germany.

reply

I’m a Cheech and Chong fan but somehow I’ve never seen Born in East La. I need to look into it now.

reply

Today I picked up:

The All Nighter
Candyman Day of the Dead
De Sade
Fritz the Cat

reply

I know of Fritz the Cat’s reputation but I’ve never seen it.

reply

Same here. I haven’t seen it yet either, but I heard a lot about it and was curious to check it out.

reply

My father loved Fritz the Cat too lol

reply

Interesting coincidence! I rewatched part of it yesterday during a free preview of Epix currently going on with my cable provider. This is the scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKFuBOuxUgk It was nostalgic. I remembered watching it when it was released at my local drive-in theater that year. It contained some really funny, spot on, social commentary and satire back then.

reply

Thanks for sharing! So you watched when it came out?

reply

Yeah, it was great fun at the drive-in on a summer night. I just discovered that it was actually a couple of years after its release.

reply

I bet it was fun! I have yet to try a drive in! Want to so bad though! N

reply

Yeah, they're hard to find these days.

reply

Oops. I was thinking Felix the Cat, which I used to watch when I was a youngster. My mistake.

I got this book in the mail off EBay a couple of day ago. I’ve just been skipping through and reading about some of my favorite titles so far. After that I’ll hopefully find many new films to add to my watch list.

It rained today. After a week of sunshine the weekend bought rain. I was actually out for a decent walk when it set in so I dropped down off the hills, caught a bus to town and bought, for the princely sum of one pound sterling (approx $1.22):
Black Panther
Avengers Infinity War
The Big Sick
Firefox
American Gangster
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Monkey Business
Margot at the Wedding
GoodFellas
The Greatest Showman

Last weekend I picked up a couple of other MCU films so I've spent the rest of this rainy day watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War and am about to start Black Panther. I have to admit I'm enjoying these films more than I expected. I was beginning to suspect the MCU was losing its appeal but just sitting down to watch several in sequence is a good way to end a rainy day.

reply

Firefox is not the most popular movie but I’ve always enjoyed it. 👍

reply

I might go to the mall tomorrow and pick up a couple movies. Shaft is out on Criterion blu ray and Edge of Sanity is out on Arrow.

reply

I went to the mall today and got:

Shaft Criterion blu ray
History is Made At Night Criterion blu ray
Edge of Sanity blu ray
Mardi Gras Massacre blu ray

reply

Mardi Gras Massacre is an odd one, and was on the video nasties list, I think.

reply

I haven’t seen it yet, but it looks like fun. The blu ray was released by Severin and has an interview with the director and a couple of the actors.
