I Just Bought … (Non-SW Shopping Diary)

New Blu-Rays:

I’ve never seen Chinatown. Supposed to be a good 'un though I hear, and it was only a fiver so I thought, why not?

Shouldn’t you be working on your Messi documentary review?

I’m doing it, I’m doing it! :smile: I’m presently padding out my opinion that a sublimely gifted sportsman doesn’t translate into a sublimely interesting character study on that merit alone.

Chinatown is excellent.
Stop wasting your time writing cockcheese about some midget Argentinian and start watching this film immediately. You’ll thank me in the short, medium and long run.

I’m about 50, 60 words away from completion on the Messi debacle, although it’ll be possibly my poorest review to date. I’ve no desire for it at all. Chinatown is going on tonight for sure. I’ve got some people round now and they’re not movie types like us. They’re more Ceebeebies than cineasts, God bless 'em.

Commando never gets old! However, I prefer the theatrical cut to the director’s cut.

Klapka.sk (EUR 14.40->GBP 14.17->EUR 16.90)
I have managed to pay at klapka.sk with TransferWise service but it is not easy. At first system refused to accept my Visa debit card because British pound is not its currency. Then I have to activate my dormant virtual Visa card used ages ago when PayPal was not available in these Hills and have paid with it.

Dolemite, Human Tornado & Petey Wheatstraw - The Devil’s Son in Law (Probably my favourite Dolemite movie)

New DVD:

I bought Hobo With a Shotgun back when it was first released, sight unseen, and a few months later during a purge of my collection I ditched it having only watched it the once. But I always felt I had been a little rash in ditching it so swiftly, and today I saw the blu-ray in a shop for the very welcome price of a single shining pound, so I snapped it (back) up.
