My Used-DVDs Frenzy at Amazon

Posted on November 4th, 2008 - 5:51 am - 6 comments

I hate Amazon. Wait, let me rephrase that: I fucking hate Amazon. Why? Because it’s so goddamned addictive! When I first enter the site to check out a comic or a dvd or whatever, I usually tend to surf through pages of sweet, sweet items. Here’s my dvd frenzy batch:

  • Dogma
  • Eraserhead
  • No Country for Old Men
  • Cloverfield
  • Saturn 3
  • Wag the Dog
  • GoodFellas
  • Chasing Amy
  • Donnie Darko
  • Logan’s Run
  • There Will Be Blood

Keep in mind that almost all of those are used dvds – I’m not rich. Also, a month back I ordered Coffee and Cigarettes and Clerks X from tower.com, but since I forgot to add apartment number they got it in rebound and I still haven’t gotten ‘em.

And yes, Sigg3: I’ve bought Saturn 3, as you might’ve noticed. I thought it’d be a good christmas present for both of us, eh? And I will return with season five of The Wire, if CDON hasn’t stockpiled it at home.

Update: I totally forgot that I also ordered Futurama: Bender’s Game (in new condition). Looking forward to see some dice rolling action in the year 3000. I also pray to God/Cthulu that it’s better than the other two Futurama movies.

  1. I have the same problems with play.com, steam and komplett. I have probably spent more money on those sites in the last two years than I have on food (unless you count beer as food.)

    Personally I count beer as liquid food. It contains important nutrients and makes you feel like a jolly old bastard. But then again when it comes to budgets, I do not count beer as food.

    Getting personalized recommendations through past purchases is a real bitch on my wallet. Which is getting immensely thin these days…

  3. I spend around 50k a week on computer equipment. But I don’t get to keep it :(
    Then again, I don’t pay for it.

    Nice bro. I just saw TW season 4 on sale at Oslo City… Also, I have maybe 10-15 dvds from our collection @ home. I’ve borrowed Night+Day watch among others. Flick me a mail if you want the list.

    I didn’t bother to update this post, so I wrote this comment instead:
    Yesterday I went to BestBuy to pick up five movies that I’d ordered online: O Brother Where Art Thou?, Brothers Grimm, Gangs of New York, High Fidelty and Equilibrium. $5 each, a good price indeed.

  5. You should update the movie list as soon as you get home:)

    I’ve bought quite a few new additions, but have yet to update. Will have to borrow Cloverfield when you arrive.

    After we’d eaten our chinese take away dinner yesterday, we sat down and saw Cloverfield. The people I live with haven’t seen it yet, so I got to experience the “oohh, ahh, running and screaming”-part all over again. It was great, yet a tad saddening since the TV is a 23″ or something.

    I can update the list from over here, you know. Just got to finish this human rights assignment first. After that there’s only one philosophy hand-in and then only school exams left! How sweet is that?`
