Still More DVDs

I got a couple more DVDs in the mail today. Urg. I still haven't had time to watch most of the Wrath of Khan extras. Somebody stop me!

Anyway, I got the 10th Anniversary release of Reservoir Dogs, which I think I've mentioned in here before. (I got the Mr. White edition, for the record.) I don't know what it is about that movie... Well, OK, yes I do. For some unfathomable reason, I'm just a complete sucker for any story that ends with bodies all over the floor. Reservoir Dogs, Blake's 7, Hamlet... There just ain't nothin' like a good tragedy.

I also got the second batch of Farscape Season Two episodes. I'm glad they've gone to releasing them four episodes at a time, instead of two epsiodes/one disc like they did for last season, but I really wish they'd do more commentary tracks and maybe throw on a few more extras. Ah, well. This particular set has three so-so episodes (translation: not standout Farscape, but still better than 99.9% of the crap on TV), but the fourth is the incredible "The Way We Weren't." This episode had me wiping frantically at my eyes and -- half-embarrassed, half-awed, and entirely moved -- wailing, "They made me cry! That god-damned Muppet made me cry!" (Admittedly, said Muppet had a great deal of help from Claudia Black. If you ask me, they both should have won an Emmy.) I think it was at this point that I realized there was no turning back for me, that I was hooked on this show for life.

Hmm, come to think of it, that's probably one good thing about not being able to sleep... It just gives me more time to watch videos and DVDs, right? And I definitely need to go and watch some more Buffy...
