Sadly, Amazon does not have cover art for Bonhoeffer, or I would have linked it instead of one of the others.

Phillip,

Helter Skelter has been released almost exactly one month prior to the premiere of the new version of the film on TV....I believe it will show the night of May 16. Releasing the original version is just a way to build a little hype....

#3 — April 20, 2004 @ 19:12PM — Phillip Winn [URL]

Thanks, Chris, I thought I might be missing something.

#4 — April 21, 2004 @ 09:02AM — Aaron, Duke De Mondo [URL]

What y'all need to do is buy yourselves those 2 series of The Office. As for The Duke, i've bought something like 9 DVD's over the weekend and so have to limit myself for a day or two. Looking forward to opening the wrapepr on 81/2, the decameron, spirit of the beehive, Beyond The Mat and all the other goodies that according to the Duchess are "just a couple films i picked up on sale, pet, honset" whilst i hid the reciepts in an underground bunker. Keep these release reports coming, lad, for poor old me in the U of K they are invaluable, by which i mean have lots of value, and not have no value. Reefer Madness has been on DVD here for a while, but really, it isn't worth spending the moneyo n, despite its hilarity. the kitsch comedy of it all wares very thin after about ten minutes. would still be nice to hear the commentary tho.

I will second the Duke - everyone smart must buy both series of the Office. Get to it before it's ruined by NBC so you can tell all your friends you know and love the original BBC version! You will be looked up to and admired for the fine, smart, intelligent, and wise person you know you are.

dunnno...once i admitted to liking Shania Twain it was the beginning of the end for me...

#7 — April 21, 2004 @ 13:19PM — Tom Johnson [URL]

Well, I like Shania Twain too . . . I like looking at her, I mean!

Judging by the reactions, I fear admitting my enjoyment of Anthrax may be my end, too. I feel your pain, Mark. However, I don't have as pleasant-looking of an excuse to help heal my wounded pride. Damn that Anthrax for being ugly!
