Only recently noticed HMV are exclusively selling reissues of a lot of the deleted Tartan catalogue for dirt cheap, so swiftly picked up El Topo . . .

... and the Eureka boxset of the Female Prisoner Scorpion Trilogy just turned up! The perfect alternative to the royal wedding . . .

... and going for the triple post, just got Branded to Kill off ebay for two quid . . . !!!

Dress shopping with the wife meant that i could blackmail her into letting me go to Fopp for 1/2 hour and I turned up these beauties:

Funuke
Love Exposure
No. 3
To Have and To Hold (DVD & CD limited edition from Tartan for £3!)
Soi Cowboy
Luck, Trust & Ketchup
Oasis of Fear
River Queen
The Conversation (wanted the Coppola and Murch commentary)

Also got the book Shepperton Babylon, which looks like a hoot.

Kind of glad I don't live close to a Fopp, the strain on the bank balance n' all...

Had a mini flurry of dvd purchasing recently though. Got...

Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny, and Girly - though this is the R1 version under the shortened title of Girly - looking forward to seeing this again, a wonderfully nutty piece of work!

The Possession of Joel Delaney in the Network sale, a complete blind buy.

House of Wax - which also includes Mystery of the Wax Museum, for £3.20!!!

Incubus - after the recommendation on Midnight Video.

and slightly less Mondo...

The Thick Of It: Series 3 - four quid in Sainsburys!

A couple of blind buys, the Criterion of a fascinating-sounding Japanese horror called Jigoku, and the brand new R0 Blu Ray of The Stunt Man - heard some wildly positive reviews for the latter, and the disc has a ridiculous amount of extra content . . .

Rituals. Code Red's release. Look forward to finally seeing this sucker in widescreen!

Target of an Assassin
Skeletons
Into the NIght
Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
To Live and Die in LA
The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh
The Last Temptation of Christ
Hunger
The Raging Moon
The Linguni Incident
The Man Who Fell to Earth

Went Bowie crazy for some inexplicable reason.

I'm curious how The Hunger holds up now. I remember it being dreary, dreadfully boring, arty nonsense.

Yeh, it was something I saw as a youngster (probably too young) and hated it, but I have a high tolerance for dreary, dreadfully boring, arty nonsense - especially if Bowie is in it - I think I'm in a very small minority of people who actually enjoy Bowie as an actor.

Just need to find the time to watch it now (well let's be honest I need to find the mood to watch it).

I looked up the concert scene from Christaine F the other week as I read it had Bowie playing Station to Station on it and was very impressed with that. Not seen the whole film. Any good? Got Labyrinth out for the kids the other month. Effects and design are good but story and songs are not.

Not seen, Christiane F, but read loads about it. It's been on my Amazon wishlist for quite a while now.

I grew up with Labyrinth so I have huge nostalgic shaped soft spot for it, even the songs!

I mananged to pick up a DVD-R of Batwoman for £1 at a car boot sale. Very happy with this find.

Ha that sounds ace! What kind of cool car boot sale is that?! The film sounds a bit like the Mexican Santo films . . .

The car boot was the Sunday one outside Wolverhampton that we visit occasionally and the stall was there once. They had a stack of random stuff that I would have picked up but I'm currently under a ban from buying many DVDs by the wife as we don't have space to store them so only get one or two occasionally. Althoght the one before was Mill Creeks Nightmare Worlds which I'm about a third through at the moment.

I'm hoping it's like Turkish Superman or 3 Angry Men which were both entertaining in their own special way.
