i just realized that Zip might be sending me three discs tomorrow, making it 99% sure i'd receive them by friday, aka the weekend, aka movie watching nights. i do have some ideas about what i'd put in my list (probably gonna keep a slot or two for my selections) but i'd like to know your suggestions, which films you'd be recommending right now. recommend me anything. i'm not saying i'll rent them, but at least the field will be wide open.

type away! :)

// the stuff i'm looking at right now //

Patty Jenkins' Monster (Special Edition, 2 discs)
Ki-duk Kim's The Isle
Kinji Fukasaku's Sympathy for the Underdog
Lewis Black: Unleashed
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
Anthony Minghella's Cold Mountain (Collector's Edition, 2 discs)
Hideo Nakata's Chaos

update, 9:44 am

fyi, The Digital Bits' 6th Annual Bitsy Awards are finally up.

two things: i just called in sick to work because i caught a really bad dry cough this weekend and i wanna get over it asap. it seems silly but i work in a hospital so i can't go around dry coughing every 15 minutes. it also seems i've miscalculated a bit and Zip only owed me two discs. but all's good because even with low availability indicators they shipped the following:

Gabriele Salvatores' I'm Not Scared
Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (Disc 1)

these were my top two choices.
i don't like to rent incomplete sets but i wasn't interested in Some Kind of Monster's second disc. i'm not a Metallica fan (i have a few of their non-sucky albums that i got at used record stores over the years) but the film (by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, enough said) definitely looked intriguing. thanks for your input. i'd love it if you continued writing down your suggestions. i'll definitely have some empty spots in the future and these certainly helped a lot :)
thanks.

heard the New Order single, Krafty, this weekend. i sadly thought it was crap, though. sadly.
