Some awesome DVD pickups...

Well, last week I had the good fortune of going to the San Diego Comic Convention with a few of my buddies. I don't read comics, but my friends told me I would like it for the movie stuff.

Well, my first day there I saw this booth with a bunch of movies. The first movie that caught my eye was Eraserhead. I was like "wow, that's a rare movie to see on DVD, maybe they have others." So I dug through them and to surprise I saw a Cannibal Holocaust DVD. I nearly shit myself, but managed to hold it in untill later. I then noticed a sign that says "each movie - $20, or 3 for $50". So I started digging through more of them searching for more titles. I had one particular movie in mind htat I was keeping my eye out for - Salo.

The next film that caught my attention was Shaun of the Dead. I have heard great things about that flick, and it looked cool from the trailer I had seen on the net, so I grabbed it. Just one more.

I continued digging through all the films. I was starting to realize that Salo probably would be a tough find, as it's one of the most rare dvd's out there. I continued digging..

Then, there it was, Salo. I swear I nearly shit myself again. I grabbed it up with a huge smile, bought it and ran off to the bathroom to masterbate.

Well, that's my story. Oh by the way, Shaun of the Dead is an awesome ****ing movie.

- jealous -

I wish I could have gone

bastard..........................please dont ban me 😉

Have you watched Salo yet? What did you think? I borrowed it last year off a friend and still haven't managed to watch it all. It's one film that no matter how much I want to I can't sit down and watch it all.

That reminds me, I must give it back!

Yeah, Salo was the first one I watched when I got home. It's a very disgusting and disturbing film, but it's very interesting, definately worth a viewing.

You guys must be deprived over in the states, you can buy Salo on DVD in HMV in the UK and Cannibal Holocaust can be found at most markets. As for Sean of the Dead, I saw it on the cinema when it came out but we haven't got the DVD yet.

you shouldn't masterbate in the bathroom... you should do it to Salo. 😉

Is it the Criterion release?

Yeah it is

God damn dude you should play the lottery. the horror Gods have blessed you. I am just glad a fan stumbled across this blessing instead of someone who cant fully appreciate those movies. Man i paid 39$ for the criterion Salo uncut version off of amazon,and i diddnt even know Eraserhead was put on Dvd, i am completely jealous...you bastard

Im not 100% sure but I think Eraserhead got a general release on DVD over here.

I didn't buy Eraserhead, it was there though.

Eraserhead is on general release over here, you can get it on play.com for STG£6.99. That's where my friend got Salo, it's £14.99 and I think Cannibal Holocaust is also £14.99. It's a good website when you are looking for a film that you know has been released but you can't find it anywhere.

You didn't buy Eraserhead? Why not?

I dunno, too expensive. Didn't have enough money for 4 movies.

I found Salo on ebay for $10.00 didnt buy it tho 😕

is shaun of the dead worth a purchase?

I don't trust ebay, never have, never will. I'd much rather pay 10 dollars more and know for a FACT that I'm actually getting the movie with a case and everything.

Not out on DVD for another week - and thats only in the UK...

But when you poor americans get the chance, hell yeah - Sean OTD kicks mighty ass. Here is how to tell if you will like the movie.

One of the special features on the UK DVD is an audio commentary track by the zombies.

Did you laugh? If so - see this film.

sounds like me

Ebay isnt that bad, when you actually get what you paid for, plus it is a hassle to keep bidding. Amazon is decent though,they will have those rare finds every ounce in a while
