Today’s the day, man!
Yesterday, I had noticed a particular new item in the vcds section inside Music World. Lifestyle.
Woodstock-3 days of Peace, Love and Music:The Director’s Cut. Includes 40 minutes of never-before-included footage selected by director Michael Wadleigh.
Hmm, end of the month. The alternative to buying it was to inform everyone I knew about it, with the hope that at least one of them would get it and spare me the trouble.
psasidhar: Next month quota starts only after 21st, i.e day after tomorrow. :-)
Oh, yeah, the credit card-funda he was telling me about.
Chandru: HEY!! That will be a cool buy!!! Get it for me!!!”
Bingo!
Bought it just now. That’s not just all. AS I was about to take it to the counter, some other cds caught my eye. Two John Wayne movies – The Sons of Katie Elder and True Grit.
This is what happened in the next five seconds.
Hmmmm…update information database. Eyes rove over some more cds. Hold on a second, that cover looked familiar….Back, back, back, where did I see it? And what did it remind me of? Oh, ok, there it is, the bald guy with the tilted head and brown-smoked-glasses. What the…..it can’t be! Please god, don’t let me be wrong….bend some more, heart pounding, yes, “The Oliver Stone Collection” written on it. Is it an ad? No. NO. NO!! It is a vcd. Pick it up, pick it up. Oh sweet Lord, it is the one!
Proud possessor of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers. Something I been looking for the past two years. Maybe even more, but I will be modest with figures.
Jeez, I can’t wait to get home.
The next time I get a shock of this magnitude is going to be when I see a DVD of Ghost in the Shell for sale in Music World. I can feel it.
Hmm.. Did you know that I just saved 500Rs?
:-)
Correction: you just saved 500 Rs so that you can buy something else.
Dude the printing press
is sure rocking.
How else would you manage to buy so many CDs?
Re: Dude the printing press
Cos I didn’t buy too many books this month. None at all in fact. :-)
Re: Dude the printing press
You mean you’ve been neglecting intellectual growth for hearing pleasure? :-O
I love True Grit. Especially when that girl gets spanked by the brush for following the two guys. Anyway, I have that movie. Good choice. I also suggest The Shootist, I think it was the last movie he played in, but it was pretty good. You get to see Opey Taylor get drunk.
I have the Natural Born Killers directors cut (comes in two videos, one with the parts Oliver Stone was forced to leave out due to their extreme nature). I really pray he would make more movies like that. Excellent.
Waaaah! This isn’t fair! Here I am, happy with the fact that I get the movie finally, and here you tell me that there are gruesome parts of it available in another version. :-)
Yeah, but I had read the script of NBK once upon a time, and yesterday when I was watching it, there were points where I found out that the story had been diluted and toned-down to an acceptable level.
I bet Oliver Stone would make more movies lke NBK, only if Quentin Tarantino would come up with more stories like this. :-)
I love True Grit
Really ? I haven’t seen the movie myself but the reviews I read didn’t recommend it highly. Maybe I should try it out…
