well, yesterday i stopped at Blockbuster's on my way to work. i was hoping they'd have those Sopranos first season discs. last time i checked every video store in the city and Blockbuster were the only ones who had all four seasons on dvd; but they were strangely out of all the first season discs. i'd ask about it if they still weren't there. but. there they were :) in all their beautiful glory. i rented discs 2, 3, and 4 to round out the season. they're full week rentals so i was able to save some money. they've got this option where you save money if you rent more and more movies at a time. there's no option for three films so i had to get a fourth one.

after looking through all the older titles for a good 5 minutes i stumbled upon Is Paris Burning? it's a 1966 film i'd heard the title of a couple of times but i'd never heard of it being released on dvd. and take a look at this cast: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Leslie Caron, George Chakiris, Alain Delon, Kirk Douglas, Yves Montand, Anthony Perkins, Michel Piccoli, Simone Signoret, Robert Stack, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Orson Welles. i looked up reviews for it when i got back home and it reassured me that i made a great choice. there's nothing worse then coming back home after leaving an album or a film on the shelves 'cause you weren't sure and then finding out you fucking missed out on something great :)

i just saw that i've been shipped The Day the Earth Stood Still today. i never saw it and this looks like a great edition.
