Puede pa bang humabol?

The first time I watched it, I swore that I wouldn't buy the Devlin-Ememrhlich version of Godzilla. Its cheesy awefulness, not to mention its rip-offs of THe Lost Word and Jurassic Park, turned me off taht I even trashed it in a newspaper review.

Now...after seeing a DVD of the green monster stomping its way through New York on a 30 inch TV set with full sensurround audio...I just might change my mind.

Trekker Once you see this in a 48" or better yet a 61" HDTV, it'll surely be one of your reference DVD's.

According to Astro Mega, they sold 60 pieces of the Pearl Harbor DVD in 2 days. I wonder how many of you bought the disc?

The Phantom Menace
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns
Godzilla
Gladiator
The Rock
Armageddon

The Planet of the Apes (until they make a version of Mark Wahlberg in loin cloth!!!)

OK I confess. I bought all those 60 pieces and am giving them to those who replied to this thread, as presents. A Merry Michael Bay Christmas to all.

Coming pare ko. Yours will be the undocumented Michael's Ultimate Edition, which can only be played frame-by-frame, with a special director's commentary for each frame.

I bought Pearl Harbor at Astro too.

(but for a friend, a fellow pinoydvder.)

I'm getting all 3 flavors of the R1 dvd.

To answer the thread question, I'm not getting that big boat picture and Rush Hour 1 and 2 nor 3,4,5,6.....

I wouldn't get Rush Hour 2 either except that dvdreview.com said there are hidden easter eggs of the teaser and theatrical trailers of LOTR in anamorphic widescreen and 5.1 sound.

Yes, I know, they are only trailers and not worth the price of the dvd but hey, I love LOTR and just can't wait.

So let me get this straight -- you're willing to pay full price for the DVD of Rush Hour 2 just so you can access the hidden LOTR teasers/trailers?

Say, I have a copy of the LOTR novelization...how much will you give me for it?

To put it shortly and simply, yes.

Rush Hour 2 is not THAT bad a movie, so I treat the movie as a bonus. Normally, I would not buy the dvd on its own. It's just that the LOTR trailers are tempting.

I will give you nothing for your novels because I have them already.

And, one would argue, that you're guilty of a similar crime, that of getting Pearl Harbor (a worse movie in my opinion) for the documentary (unless the doc found in the dvd can only be found there and nowehere else)

Well, you are entitled to your own opinion!

How about some LOTR goblets from Burger King? Only $1.99 each! Gandalf, Frodo, Aragorn...

heehee

i used to buy New Wave CD's for just one song
so i understand the concept of an obsession
and the need to get things

it is nice to get things it makes one feel good
unfortunately what happened is i ran out of money
so i guess if you have money, its good to satisfy an obsession
if you don't have money, tough
but you can always make more

and oh yeah, i'd never get The Matrix, coz I hate that movie but I'm still excited to see the sequels anyhow

and i'd buy pearl harbor, just for the battle scene, but there are so many other dvd's to buy before the popular ones that i'd probably never get to the popular ones.

"Admit it, you're just trying to justify picking up Pearl Harbor while still maintaining your dignity! (I know because I feel the same way)"

Those were your exact words gonz, taken from an earlier post. Admit it.

Goblets? If they're tankards like the ones found in every fantasy world, I MIGHT be interested.

Just kidding though

I admit that I feel (felt -- but no longer) like finding some way to justify picking up Pearl Harbor while still maintaining my self-respect. However, I didn't say that my justification would take chico's form, i.e., buying it for the documentary. That's like saying you read Penthouse for the articles.

halo · « **Reply #78 on:** Dec 16, 2001 at 10:33 AM »

well...it seems like we could argue this point for a long time so let me cut to the chase and end it right here, cool?

Is it wrong to buy a dvd you would not normally buy but you buy anyway because a few tidbits were included that interests you: YES

But does it make you feel good anyway: YES (at least it does to me)

aaaaaahhhhhhhh....

Now for a few more. I'm never gonna purchase...

Terminator 1: Don't know why but it just didn't grab me. Simply a matter of taste I guess.

Sleepy Hollow: great film but not enough to make me want to buy and keep "forever"

Fight Club: Again, movie was great but not enough to take the plunge to dvdland.

Clarification: with the exception of terminator 1, I like these movies. Just not enough to buy the dvd.

gonz · « **Reply #79 on:** Dec 16, 2001 at 12:51 PM »

Dang -- just when I was starting to enjoy the argument. Oh well. At least you're up front about it, unlike me and chico, who feel compelled to veil our desire for cheesy movies behind a shroud of respectability.

Even though we may disagree on choice of films, I salute your forthrightness!

Centurion Obama · « **Reply #80 on:** Dec 16, 2001 at 04:40 PM »

admit you want to get the Pearl Harbor DVD
and admit that you love Michael Bay!

I was mainly talking about the movie itself. The dvd, everyone agrees, is a spectacular dvd with excellent audio/video, a wealth of features, etc. The movie though, is not something I'd watch over and over again.

This is a matter of not really refusing to buy, but holding out for a boxed set:
1.) Episode 1 -Let's face it, they did it to us with the Lser Disc release of Episode 4-6 with additinal goodies, so Ill wait for the complete series in a boxed set, with, hopefully, even more goodies.
2.) The LOTR Fellowship of the Rings-same reason( except no Laser Disc release, i assume )
3.) Harry Potter - same -
4.) Aliens- too much Sigourney Weaver. The best yata part two, yung iba, nabaduyan na ko( my opinion only, ha? )
-That's all I can think of, right now.
