point break is a masterpiece, the aristocats features some unfortunate racism

I think I did start watching it but didn't continue, either because I didn't think it was worth it or just had other things to do (pre-online/DVR era).

I finally own a Blu-Ray player (Christmas gift), so now I have to fight the temptation to (insanely) start re-buying stuff I already have on DVD. Bought four new ones today for $5 each: The Social Network, Third Person, State of Play, and J. Edgar. Three of them I already own. The last one, I don't even like.

The only time this temptation will kick in is when it's something cheap. I'd never buy something at full price because I think the Blu-Ray's going to be significantly better than the DVD I have--I just don't have the eye for that, and even if I did, I still wouldn't do it. When something's dirt-cheap, though, I'm suddenly "J. Edgar? Geez, I hated that--but it's only $5!"

Picked up a new BR copy of Your Name at the local overstock liquidators for less than $10. Also Ariel Pink's Pom Pom on 2LP vinyl for $5 (snagged 2 copies of that one, tbh; one to sell & one to keep). The vinyl was mixed in with a pallet load of dog shit calendars, just the 2 APs and one lonely copy of something by Panic! at the Disco, its cover oddly reminiscent of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.
Weird, cuz their stock is usually limited to expired snack experiments and huge loafers. They had Baby Driver too, but...

Swap meet today, $1 each. And while I appreciate the low prices for used DVDs these days, I can't help but think this portends that new DVDs won't be released as much as before, and re-sellers will give up trying to make money selling used disks. There was a guy that had a very large catalog of disks that sold here but he's been gone for over a year. He charged $4 or $5 per disk but there was good depth in his bins.

Just ordered the Blu-Ray of Ridley Scott's The Counselor (screenplay by Cormac McCarthy) on eBay for $5. It's actually a 2 Blu-Ray set, because it includes a director's cut that's 20 minutes longer. Since it was one of the most baffling, insane movies I've ever sat through in a theater, I figured I'd check out the long version and see if it gets even weirder.
