A DVD purchase!

Too much money

I wonder if I actually ever have bought more than one DVD at a time. I’m probably a horribly economic person who feels guilty when spending more than 20 euro at a time. On the other hand, I spend quite a lot of the rare occasions I go out with friends, eek. In that respect, the 23 euros I ended up spending on this is absolutely nothing. After all, I think I got some gems here.

So, there is:
The Dreamers: 8 euro
Ninotchka: 3 euro
Lost in Translation: 6 euro
The Butterfly Effect (premium limited edition, eek XD): 6 euro

Also notice my sweet pink bed sheet and a leg of a Tachikoma :3

Of course, the purchase of “The Dreamers” initiated this shopping spree – I really wanted to see the movie again (and I did), and actually this just makes me want to hunt down more stores for cheap DVDs, tehe.
“Ninotchka” was so incredibly cheap and I actually enjoyed the film. Also, I somewhat want to see it in german, haha. “Lost in Translation” is just a must-buy one day and 6 euro is the limit for what I would buy it – then again, there were nice extras. “The Butterfly” has a great price for an edition that includes the Director’s Cut which I was quite interested in. And finally, “The Dreamers” also has some sweet extras and actually is a film that I most definitely will watch another time in my life. Maybe the day when I feel that “The Dreamers” is too immature for me and I am too old for it.

On a side note, I actually also bought some more DVDs on Amazon… which will come in another posting over the weekend. Oh gosh. XD

  1. Ha, I’ve bought plenty of DVDs here in Taipei as well. They vary so much in price! I think I’ll make my own purchase-post once I get on a better PC at my language school (God, this internet cafe doesn’t even have acrobat reader on their machines! It’s very irritating XD )

    I found ones for about 39 NT each, which is wonderful, given the current exchange rate! Then there were slightly more elgant ones, which I bought for 400 NT each, which also is not expensive for me, compared to what I pay for a DVD in Munich…lol, they have the most random releases!

  2. Oh god, they are all so cheap! 3 or 6 euro are perfect IMO.
    I once found “Nicotina” for 3 euro and I still regret I didn’t buy it, argh.

  3. @Prog: Oh god, you must be buying so many DVDs indeed! What have you gotten already? My parents are afraid of buying chinese DVDs now, even when they are official releases, because they are not licensed in Germany and all that crap. It’s quite distressing.
    Anyways, I hope you’ll come back with lots of interesting things!

    @Shii: Yeah, I have set my limit at 6 euro maximum for a single disc too, haha. If I think about it, Germany really seems to be the cheapest country to buy DVDs. For example, I am a big fan of the Criterion collection, of course, but they are all so expensive O.o
