I finally acquired a blu-ray player

My birthday is coming up, but since we will be in Boston celebrating it, I got my birthday present early. (OK that is just a lame excuse for the fact that I wanted it right now.) We all know that blu-rays are fantastic and I vow to only buy Criterion blu-rays from now on. Oh yeah they just had a sale recently! I purchased some of the films I did not get last time, and just like last time, I had tabs open for another bunch of films I did not get. (People on Sunday and Paris, Texas – ahhhh!) Perhaps another time… when Criterion has another sale. (They do give you 50 dollars when you spend more than 500 at their store… I would be terrified of myself for having spent that much, but I have a feeling that it will happen one day.)

• The Last Days of Disco: Besides the old Floating Weeds version, this is the only Criterion film I have not seen before buying.
• Harold and Maude: The film is associated with a somewhat unpleasant memory, but it does not deter from the fact that it’s one of the greatest films ever, or rather one of my favorite films ever.
• The Darjeeling Limited: I am one of those hipsters who adores Wes Anderson, but actually The Darjeeling Limited just happens to be his masterpiece.
• Yi Yi: Truthfully the film is a borefest and I even remember Gorp falling asleep to it. But I cry ever single time I see it, and I don’t think there is another film ever made with so much humanity.

That’s it for this time. I predict one day I will buy more – it’s just too tempting.
