Madness? This. Is. Tedium!

Comics | DVD | Insanity | Movies | trench @ 23:56, November 24th, 2007.

I love DVDs. Some people would say I love DVDs a little too much. That I have taken my affections into a strange and somewhat inappropriate direction. A direction that no relationship between a man and four and three quarter inch piece of plastic should take.
I ignore those people.
Part of the joy of a good [...]

Digitus, Dominus.

Surely no mere coincidence that just 6 days before Halloween 2006 that this happens:

*gulp*
I am hoping that my eternal soul will be saved as I have The Simpsons: Season One on order as we speak. It should arrive before All Hallows’ Eve and bring my total to 667, meaning no more brown trousers.
I do have [...]

Result!

I’m currently enjoying my holidays here at trench HQ. Accordingly Mother usually gives me a yell to wake up about midday. Today as she left, she also remarked that a package had arrived for me. As I have been known to order one or two dvds, this is not out of the ordinary. Except that [...]

Trench’s DVD claptrap #1.

DVD | Insanity | Movies | trench @ 21:48, August 29th, 2006.

First in a possibly ongoing series. (Remember readers, you too can recount the day when you were there when it all began.) Now, many of you know that I have a passion for films. My tastes are pretty broad which isn’t necessarily a problem, unless you factor in that I am also completely unable to [...]

The happiest day of my life.

3 slices of fantastic news for you in just one post.
You are so lucky and you don’t even realise it.
Paramount Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Police Squad: The Complete Series for 7th November 2006. DVD Times have the full details. There are commentaries.
Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 [...]

DVDs I own that I have never seen.

DVD | trench @ 19:41, June 2nd, 2006.

As the title implies, dvds I own that I have never seen in any way shape or form.
Excluding:

Titles that are around fellow Smirnoff lover Richard’s flat, for drunken entertainment.
Jackie Chan titles bought in anticipation of a 24hr Chanathon.

Full list follows the link.

Geeks of the world rejoice.

Well, it might have taken them to (arguably) the last few years of the format, but they got there eventually. Blade Runner finally gets a stacked dvd release.
… just in time for the film’s 25th anniversary, Ridley Scott’s ultimate Blade Runner: The Final Cut will hit theaters for a limited run. This will be a [...]

Penny Arcade! – Treachery In 1080i

Comedy | DVD | Geek | Linkage | trench @ 23:54, April 19th, 2006.

Penny Arcade’s strip about HD-DVD made me chuckle.
Not in the least because I used the exact same excuse when buying a Gamecube. So that we could play Super Monkey Ball and Luigi’s Mansion.

I dub thee, Guilty Pleasure Saturday.

DVD | Jackie Chan | Movies | Television | trench @ 17:05, April 16th, 2006.

I watched Mr and Mrs Smith yesterday, which by all rights should be a vacuous, horrid piece of entertainment. And in many ways it was, which was probably why I grinned through much of it.
Then I watched Rush Hour 2, which should clearly be yet another entry in the Jackie Chan Western Movie Hall of [...]

The Big Blue Bug of justice lands in August.

Superb DVD news.
This show was ten years ahead of it’s time, I swear.
The Tick: City, it is I, the Tick, your destined defender! Show me where it hurts. (seeing a really tall building, in dazed voice) Tall!

Is it me, or is the cover for the First season of Renegade more than a little… homoerotic?

Just me then.
He was a cop and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops gone bad. Cops that tried to kill him but got the woman he loved instead. Framed [...]

Times Online: Leading retailers that sell cut-price CDs and DVDs via Jersey have been given a year to close their operations after pressure from the British Government.

Attention all cinema lovers.
