I just picked up Brothers of the Head, a very unusual "mock"umentary about conjoined twin punk rockers. I had "mock" in quotes because it really wasn't funny- it was actually rather tragic (though it had funny moments). I really enjoyed it, and I don't know why. 
Picking up Superman Returns on Tuesday. December is going to be good for DVDs, too- Pirates II and Talledega Nights.

I ordered The Greatest American Hero Complete Series in the metal tin which also contains the instruction manual and cape. Can't wait 'til it arrives.
Agreed, after all the idea of gathering a collection as I do is rather selfish and self-centered by nature. If I'm going to be selfish and cater to my inherent need to entertain myself then they're going to films/series I like and want to own, not just buy them for variety or because they're "Classics". That being said I do tend to have a little bit of everything, though it's mostly sci-fi, and action stuff the majority being my anime which can either be a testament to my childish nature or quite mature depending on which one my series you pick off the shelf.

Star Trek: The Animated Series
I bought the Matrix trilogy for $7.99 each. I've been waiting to find a special like this.
Well, this mornin', I was grocery shoppin' at a Wal-Mart Supercenter, and saw that they had Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Dumb and Dumber for $3.88, plus tax, each.
So I bought 'em.
I also went down to Circuit City for their Saturday sale, and got a copy of Pulp Fiction - Collector's Edition for $5.99, plus tax.
And that concludes this week's DVD buyin'.

Lucky bastard!
Actually, I've held off buying the pilot episode because I've heard bad things about the quality of the DVD. Is it as bad as people say?
I have Season One, but it doesn't really stand on its own.
Basically it comes down to:
Are you buying DVDs that you enjoy, or are you buying DVDs to make a well-balanced library that other people would approve of? The only thing I care about is "Will I want to watch this DVD a number of times?" If yes, then I'll buy it. If not, then it's a rental. Sometimes I find I really don't end up watching some as much as I thought, and I trade 'em or sell 'em. I'm sure as hell not going to buy a comedy or drama merely because I don't have a high enough percentage of those titles in the libraray and want to balance things out.
Yeah... I don't give a shit if my "library" is balanced. My BOOKS are nowhere near balanced, even.
I have lots of sci fi, wish I had more. I also have big budget kablooey type flicks, which I love. I have loads of random ones that I just plain like.
I have two special shelves reserved for my Trek / Firefly / Atlantis / Star Wars etc. Don't care if people see that and think I'm a dork.
