I love Amazon days. That's when I get a big new box from
Amazon.com, stacked with shiny new DVDs and/or books. This time it was
DVDs, and the one I'm most excited about is the second season box-set of
The Sopranos. I'm ashamed to say that, while I'd heard a lot about the show from the news and from friends, I hadn't seen a complete episode until this Christmas, when my brother and I watched the entire first season in a week. And I couldn't wait to get the second season. The show is
great. Very funny, very well acted, extremely well written, and production qualities are top-notch. The DVDs are widescreen, 16:9 enhanced, Dolby Digital -- this is the way all TV-shows should be released. Not a lot of extras, but who needs dessert if the main course is perfect? Definitely recommended.
I also got the season one box-set of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and if you read my January 20th posting, you'll know why.
What else?
TRON,
Moulin Rouge,
Traffic,
Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Good thing it's cold and dark outside, 'cause I won't be going anywhere this weekend.
