The collected works of ScottyB

‘Cause I tell you Jerry… At that moment… I was a Marine Biologist.

The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.

Ahh, all this and more.

9 seasons, 180 episodes. Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, Jason Alexander. Arguably the best sitcom of all time. Certainly my favourite.

So it stands to reason I should own it all surely?

The Seinfeld Collection (33 Disc Box Set)

Exactly what I’ve been waiting for all this time..

The sales were on and naturally, I had to be there.

Already some of the freshest new releases have seen price drops. I managed to pick up The Black Dahlia and Harsh Times for $15 - much healthier than their $30 price tags of the week before.

I still wonder why they don’t just release DVD’s at $15. They come down to the middle price bracket after a few weeks anyway - and if they were $15, I’d buy everything as soon as it came out!

Among the bargain bin items was a double-pack.. Devil in a Blue Dress and the Bone Collector - and The Negotiator, both of which I picked up for under $10.

The Negotiator (1998) was truly a surprise - a great film. I’d seen it years ago, on television from memory (back when I still watched TV :P) and I remember it being a good watch, but forgot how truly polished and intense it was.

Great performances by Samuel L. Jackson and one of my favourite actors; Kevin Spacey.

Also on the movie viewing list this weekend:

Enemy At The Gates (2001).

How I missed this one I’ll never know. It came up just recently in a related search as I was hunting around for the release date of Mark Wahlberg’s sniper flick, Shooter.

Having never heard of it, but reading the synopsis, I was compelled to see it - and after not being able to pick it up as a hire item, I purchased it last weekend.

There are some sensational new releases out lately, but I’m really realising how many brilliant films I’ve missed over the years too. Such is the life of a film enthusiast, always happening upon new old films.

New weekend will mark a big sale weekend. Not to mention the release of 300 on DVD. I can see myself spending a few bucks come Saturday.

But I can’t complain.
