My name is Victoria Winters....
« on: July 11, 2002, 09:29:19 AM »
I stopped by Best Buy tonight and got the DVDs. Happily, mine work fine. I did have some sparklies in the middle of the last disc for a few moments that I'm not sure if are from the original source or my specific disc.

To tell you the truth, I was not overly excited about this period of DS. I would have preferred 1795. But, having watched part of it, I am more thrilled than I expected to be. Woohoo, Mitch Ryan, Robert Gerringer, AND Dennis Patrick! (Will the REAL Burke Devlin and Dr. Woodard PLEASE stand up?)

I am SO looking forward to getting them all! I can't wait to see the color episodes on DVD! The black and white look great. I suspect that I may be a DVD shopping whore, do they have support groups for that????

I don't know, but if you find one, let me know--my husband can join it with you!  I made the mistake of buying him a DVD player, and now he's buying DVD's like we're rich--which we're not!

And if there's a support group for those who love DVD whores, let me know and I'll join that!

Love, Robin

I get the sparklies too.  They're from the original source.

Buying DVDs is VERY addictive when you first get a player. I bought more than a 100 the first year I had mine (I blame the fact that the features are just light years beyond what VHS has to offer, and the ease and savings of buying them over the Internet!) so I can definitely relate to your husband's buying spree, Robin. ;) But that was just over three years ago. In time you get to be a little more discriminating, which is why I've only bought 10 so far this year, though 3 were multiple disk sets (DS Collection 1 - 4 disks, Buffy Season 1 - 3 disks, and Buffy Season 2 - 6 disks). I guess that might mean I've really bought 20. ;D

Hee hee, I just got back from perusing a DVD section and held myself to buying only 1... however, it's the complete Prisoner series, so thanks to you I have to face up to the fact that I really bought 10. :o

Midnite......

Didn't you tell me you were going to move "Daughters of Darkness" to the top of your DVD list?  [lghy]   ;)

But in Midnite's defense, that's a DVD that's hard to come across in stores. I got mine as one of my choices when I joined the Columbia House DVD club back in '99 (which I don't advise anyone else doing because you actually end up paying more for DVDs in the long run than you do online - even if you hang around long enough to take advantage of their so-called "bonus" and "sale" prices).

I had no idea it was hard to come by.  
I have a nephew-in-law who used to work for a store that specialised in laser-discs and then DVDs.

I e-mailed him in Manhattan at 9am with my 'unusual' request   ("Aunt Rainey, did you say a LESBIAN/VAMPIRE flick   :o  ??!!) and the courier was at my house by noon with the...object....in his hand.  [lghy]

I'll have to remember to thank him again!!

Hee hee!!  As MB said, I've never come across it, though I have it on VHS which unfortunately is lacking the commentary that I've heard so much about.  ;)  But at least the video can be paused...  Oops, was that my out loud voice? :D

I bet we all pause it at the same spots, too!  ;D
Connie was nice enough to do some screen grabs of a few choice scenes so if anyone would like to see them, you'd have to email me privately---no way could they be seen here!

Well, you could always post them like this:


But I suppose that would defeat the point, wouldn't it? [wink2]

That black dot gets around about as much as IMA Fly! Always showing up in all the right places.

I see that I'm not the only one that has this wonderful JK collection.  This movie is what I pop in the VCR when Sci-Fi is having one of their marathons.  ;D

Do you live alone, Carol?....or do you have a really sturdy lock on the door of the TV room?  :o

I have to wait till the Husband's at work, the Kid's at school, the Dog is under the bed, and the phone's off the hook!!...... before I can safely put that DVD on in MY house!!!!!

And raspberries to MB for teasing us with that censored photo!!  :P

LOL! Do I live alone? Sometimes I wish!

Husband of 27 years hates DS; so does 20 yo daughter. While they are busy doing other things, I watch all the DS I want. When I've had DOD on, I've stopped the tape and go back to watching cable TV until I'm alone again with JK.

Wish I could show you a pix that Connie did for my birthday using DOD but I don't know how to insert pix to posts.
