Damn. I went to the mall today, looked in both Borders and Suncoast, and couldn't find Buckaroo Banzai in either one. If it weren't for the fact that Borders is full of books and Suncoast is selling a DVD player for $20 if you buy any two movies over $10, I'd be bitching like crazy. (As it is, I sound like a commercial for both stores.) Tomorrow, I try Best Buy.

In any event, today's finds (for nice and cheap -- hee, I love DVD deals) were Escape from New York, Escape From L.A., Big Trouble in Little China, and Starman. (I really want the Starman TV series, too, but my God is a vengeful, mindless God who thinks ALF deserves a box set more. *sigh*)

Also, I have my bus ticket for Labor Day weekend. Everybody else I know will be in Atlanta chasing famous people, and I'll be in Pennsylvania, buried under a mountain of Siamese cats.

but my God is a vengeful, mindless God who thinks ALF deserves a box set more.

I feel your pain.

Is this the same deity that saw fit to bring out a DVD box set of the short-lived 80's show "Sledge Hammer"? (I ask because I saw the aforementioned set at Best Buy on Friday...)

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

...

Yes.

*wanders off to a corner to wail at the injustice of the universe*

[cmstephens.livejournal.com]

That means that somewhere, that deity is mockingly saying, "Trust me... I know what I'm doing..."

Yours must be the same vengeful god as mine that thinks that ALF deserves DVD boxed sets more than The Man From UNCLE and The Pretender.

Pfui!

I can't wait to see your jaw dropping once you see Buckaroo Banzai; then you must, of course, read the deliciously evil and pulp influenced novel from whence the movie came:

You'll be writing BB fanfic before the night is through :>

And after you watch the movie and read the novel, you can read the unproduced, fan-created sequel script, Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League (hosted on my webspace because I can't be arsed to find it online).

Apparently, it was *almost* made into a movie, but the people involved ran out of money and interest. I give it two oscillation overthrusters up for being awesome badical outrageous.

I like Escape from L.A. .. I can't remember if I've seen the first one but I did like that one. :D

[theliel.livejournal.com]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. no princess at dragon con? but how are your lj faithfull supposed to chase after famous people when they're not there to be chased?

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

You're a Buckaroo Banzai fan and you're coming to Dragon*Con.

VOOTIE!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've never even gotten to see the movie and I can't afford to go to Dragon*Con. :(

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

OMG. Must rectify.

If I can get my VCD software to work, I will try to dupe my copy of it for you.

And no Dragon*Con? *pout*

Big Trouble in Little China rocks my world!!!!! Good choice!

[storm_dancer]

I find the best deals on eBay. Sewiously.

And do you have the Big Trouble action figures?

[worldwalkerpure.livejournal.com]

Big Trouble In Little China? Whoo! Great movie! It's thanks to that movie that I found out there really is a kung-fu weapon that's like a little propeller that fits in your hand, which is just plain cool.

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to Worldcon or Dragoncon either.

Alexandria. The hot fanspot of Labor Day weekend.

why search locally when you can order online and have it in a few days?

...but my God is a vengeful, mindless God who thinks ALF deserves a box set more.

I feel the same way when I contemplate potential DVD box sets of American Gothic, Kolchak the Night Stalker, and The Lone Gunmen.

Although apparently God is listening to me at least once in a while...the company is going to start releasing the 3 seasons of classic Star Trek in box set format starting the end of August.
