I got giftcards to Best Buy for Christmas... Ooooh was that dangerous! Anyhow, I bought three movies:

Empire Records
Independance Day
The Truman Show

Also a couple of days ago, I bought Dumb and Dumber. My collection is now somewhere around... I don't know... 50?

The first one had a lot of real good deleted scenes. Especially I liked the extended/deleted scene where Marty visits his dad in the radiation suit. The scene goes on longer and they didn't add the vocal effect on Michael J Foxes voice. It just sounds like his normal voice.

For Christmas I got:

Star Trek III Special Edition
Teen Wolf 1 and 2
The Dualists
UHF

Just bought Jackie Chan's "Mr Nice Guy" for 6.99. Oh, and I found my "Legend of Drunken Master" and "Braveheart" copies, so they are as good as new

Oh yeah. Where he's worried that if he hits on his mom he'll turn out to be gay. And Doc asks him something like, "why shouldn't you be happy?". It didn't work and they should've cut it.

Thats crazy talk. That whole segment was funny.

No it's not. It's a lame joke that is even worse since it doesn't make any sense (why would Doc think Marty would be "happy" from hitting on his mom?). The commentary on the track was right that the whole segment was redundant. It was interesting that the director didn't comment on the gay remark, though...not much you can really say about it besides "Ooops!", I suppose.

I just purchased "A Hard Day's Night" on DVD. The supplementals stink, but the feature is fantastic - even if I don't care much for early Beatles.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Magnolia
Boogie Nights
Blade Runner

Call me crazy, but I am thinking that perhaps the reason is that gay means happy...

Just bought two Jackie Chan classics, "Drunken Master" and "First Strike". And my local supermarket is selling "Glitter" for $10, so I will most likely buy that this week.

I plan to watch it religiously, then take it to whatever parties, weddings, funerals, etc. I go to so that I can spread the wonderful fun that is "Glitter". Well, I haven't seen it yet, but from what I've heard about it, I'm not likely to be disappointed.
