people are still talking about Bush having a lump under his shirt during the 2nd Presidential Debate. seems even the RNC keeps switching their answers about that. developing.
i'm still debating whether i should go over to Archambault and get a Criterion set. i mean, the sale covers both taxes. they have a nice selection of Criterions but they don't have all of 'em so i'd have to choose among the sets they do have. anyone wanna convince me to get the Spartacus set? i'm not sure about the film but the set is such a massive achievement, and it's (kinda) from Kubrick. or the three-disc set for Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage? i think that one was surprisingly unexpensive. hmm. i've just researched a bit more about Scenes and i think i just answered my own question right there. the 'film' is about the deterioration of a couple over a few years. it was done as a 5-hour mini-series in Sweden and then re-cut as a 3-hour film for theatrical release later on. i like the idea of a mini-series about a couple drifting apart. and even though i've no girlfriend to have broken up with right now, it seems to fit right in with today's gloomy mood (not to be mistaken for depressed, though, because i'm kinda digging the mood today). but please chime in with your thoughts. i have until tomorrow afternoon to decide (if i don't run out and get it later on today :)
update, 3:48 pm: i won't get to taste the satisfaction of actually going out and purchasing the Scenes set. dvdpacific has it at $49 shipped. dammit. that's, if i remember the price correctly, about $13 under what it would cost me at the store. dammit. and since i'm trying not to spend too much these days, i'm gonna be a good boy and order it online this week if i feel like it. i wouldn't have watched it tonight anyway because i got something else so it really was the thrill of buying something that comforted me. (trying to figure out if i'm gonna get a new roommate really does bring on a huge amount of stress :)
update, 11:04 pm: ...or the Criterion three-disc set for The Battle of Algiers...? it's looking mighty fine right now. damn!
