ZombieMan · 02-22-2004, 10:03 PM

Hmmm, I'm not sure exactly what DVD's I would get, but thats definitly what I would spend my $150.00 on. The only thing that comes to the top of my mind right now is the Mr. Bean boxed set of all episodes, and the Band of Brothers boxed set.

There's a Tarantino Box Set? I did not know that...

droidguy1119 · 02-22-2004, 10:50 PM

He's in Region 4...

EvilDeadNDN · 02-22-2004, 10:52 PM

Evil Dead Trilogy
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Terminator Trilogy
El Mariachi/Desperado/OUATIMexico
Alien Quadrilogy

and if it was cheap enough, Id throw in the Nightmare on elm stree box set.

Inferno · 02-22-2004, 10:56 PM

Alot of the same thoughts I had. But unfortunately there's no Evil Dead trilogy in Australia - I've only see the first one on DVD.

The 3 terminator movies are a good idea, but I thought I would wait until they come in a box set, hopefully including both original and special edition versions, like with the Alien Quad (is there a box set for Terminator in the US yet?).

EvilDeadNDN · 02-22-2004, 11:05 PM

Yeah I realized there isnt an official "trilogy" well not to my knowledge at least (evil dead) but here you can buy em hella cheap enough to basically have the cost of a boxset.

that and the terminator one were intended for a "perfect world" kinda thing as if they had already came out with box sets.

as for the evil dead, I suggest you see the second and army of darkness. a lot of it kinda doesnt make sense due to rights issues between movies but ED 2 is probably one of the greater B movies of the century.

I was wondering if you would interpret my post like that.

I have seen all the Evil Dead movies (and love 'em), but have only seen the first one available on DVD here in Australia.

EvilDeadNDN · 02-22-2004, 11:57 PM

ooooooooooh...

doh.

Yeah Ive never seen any of em on DVD. Good ole VHS. *sigh* maybe Ill come outta the stoneage.

sorry for talkin to ya like you didnt know what was goin on. seems the tables were turned.

The Moose · 02-23-2004, 01:37 AM

ya should be able to find the EEs of FOTR, TTT and ROTK for less than that. but you'll have to wait for the ROTK:EE though

Tornado · 02-23-2004, 06:51 AM

I'd pick up the Alien Quadrilogy for sure . . .

oliver_jones_37 · 02-23-2004, 07:54 AM

you can buy an evil dead dvd box set, well here in the uk you can! its about £25 -30! 3 discs for the movies plus a 4th disc full of extra stuff, i.e newly filmed documentarys etc!

spiderman_2k · 02-23-2004, 08:44 AM

Yes I had that...But it broke, So I took it back, I have been meaning to get a new one ever since.

FrankTheBunny · 02-23-2004, 10:38 AM

150 bucks eh?

Ummm...

Godfather Trilogy
Possibly one of the Kirosawa Criterion films
Family Guy Season 1&2
American Beauty (don't have it yet)

droidguy1119 · 02-23-2004, 12:40 PM

Anyone who says EDII doesn't make any sense hasn't figured the beginning out yet. It's a simple explanation...and then suddenly everything clicks.

EDII is the best, IMO. Best sequence in the series -- attaching the chainsaw.

"Groovy."

EvilDeadNDN · 02-23-2004, 12:43 PM

Ive made sense of em all I was just warning inferno to the fact that newbs may not get it. of course, he isnt a newb but anywho.

Yes, ED has inspired me to do those over the top "piecing montages" in my flicks. maybe.

Still a great effect. especially with the over exagerrated sound effects.

droidguy1119 · 02-23-2004, 12:47 PM

I'm not going to explain it, though, unless someone needs to hear it.

EvilDeadNDN · 02-23-2004, 12:51 PM

Yeah, its waaaaaaaaay too much info to explain. especially the rights issues. etc yadda yadda.

droidguy1119 · 02-23-2004, 12:52 PM

Actually I could do it in a couple sentences...

EvilDeadNDN · 02-23-2004, 12:58 PM

I bet you could.

*gives you "the look"*

*whispers* Im trying to make us look smart and all knowing.
