Who of you collects DVDs? I do... and man, it's an expensive hobby. A list of my current DVDs can be found here.
Anyway, post anything DVD-related here.

it's probably just as well i don't have a dvd player. on top of being a big nerd about cds and comic books there's no way in hell i'd be able to afford dvds as well. because if i had a dvd player i would buy dvds.

Heh, that's a funny picture, Pyro. 
Nadir -- yeah, it's bringing me close to my financial doom... I used to buy CDs, but I hardly ever do that these days. There are plenty of CDs I want, but man, it's all so expensive. Or perhaps I just need a job.
Anyway, here's what I'm looking forward to:
- LOTR: ROTK Extended Edition (December 12th)
- Twin Peaks Season 2 (let's pray it will some day see the light)
I recently acquired the US (region 1) release of The Fearless Vampire Killers, which is the first movie by Roman Polanski (1966, I think). Hilarious!

actually i've not been buying cds so much lately, i've only bought seven in the last two months which isn't much compared to previous prowess
also herc i wholeheartedly approve of your dvd collection
i mean man, it has DELICATESSEN
that is one badass film
EDIT: you don't have the evil dead films though, which makes me sad!
also may i recommend dvd releases of spaced, father ted and brass eye, which are all amazing british comedy programmes (well, father ted is irish, but whatever)
spaced is by the people who did SHAUN OF THE DEAD before they made that film and is pretty amazing

I have a relatively small collection of DVDs, though we are getting more.
* The complete collection of the "Megaman" TV show, two collections of three discs each.
* The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (original edition)
* The Fellowship Of The Ring Extended edition (even better than the original.)
* Various DVD collections of early cartoons and comedy shows, such as The Three Stooges (comedy gold =) or Popeye.

This week, on LANCER PONDERS:
<lolilover> I notice alot of Japanese fiction involving kemono-mimi characters always has the main character saving an innocent animal and then the animal returns as a girl to reward him for his kindness.
<lolilover> Well there's a cat that is always wandering around in my backyard. Should I feed it in the hopes that one day a catgirl will show up at my door?

Hurray! Delicatessen is quite awesome, indeed. You're right about Evil Dead, but I'm planning on purchasing the trilogy at some point. My collection is nowehere near complete.
I'll check out those comedy programmes you mentioned. I haven't heard of them!

How is the animated Tintin? I really liked the comic books, but I've only seen about one minute of the animated version.

I read a few Tintin books from the library as a little kid, then a couple years ago I was given one for Christmas and remembered just how good they were. I've never read any of Asterix, but the premise sounds like a winner.
I can't wait to finish college and get a real job so I can buy myself some of the stuff I've been wanting to buy for a long time, like anime and comic books.

Man, I have over 200 DVD's (which sucks because it's hard to find the ones I want). Among the highlights are the first two volumes of Invader Zim, some Monty Python's Flying Circus, Ren & Stimpy, City Hunter with Jackie Chan, Ferris Bueller's Day Off (still the best movie ever), and the special edition of Total Recall (with the neat tin case that looks like Mars).
Blaugh!

well, last night I just watched, on DVD, this has gotta qualify as DVD-related, right?:
the water boy (never even seen that before. I've want to see happy gilmore. Heard that it's funny)
some of Resident Evil (which I didn't like a whole lot. or, it was okay, just that the CG monster looks so fake. it's sad. They should've tried a model, maybe?)
the Texas chainsaw massacre [sp] (this one I thought was a bit stupid, but it was satisfying whenever the girl ran over the officer twice. Even though I kind of liked that guy in full metal jacket
.. all that movie is based on is that a few people were killed in texas with a chainsaw)

Nice! I badly want Ren & Stimpy on DVD, by the way. Same goes for the UK release of Bucky O'Hare.

All I have is the LOTR trilogy, which I just watched again yesterday. Fun stuff.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.
<Insidious> Tixus accidentally microwaved the 80s
<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this
