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...

Re: DVD Haul

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.

Re: DVD Haul

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!

Re: DVD Haul

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.

Re: DVD Haul

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.

Re: DVD Haul

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.....

Re: DVD Haul

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.
