This week I bought:

Dark City (blu-ray - haven't seen it since 1998, don't remember it being as head-trippy)

got it on blu-ray months ago and have yet to see it.

saw it several times since it was released and was always trippy.

meant to be more so with the director's cut of the blu-ray edition.

To be honest all I remembered from back then was two or three shots and a very basic version of the storyline.

not surprising for not seeing it for 12 or so years.

Akira isn't bad. Dark City is awesome. I was planning on watching both again sometime soon.

 

[Southy]

I watch Dark City a fair bit still these days

Sure it is. It's been longer than that since I've seen some movies and I remember them fairly clearly.

This arvo I watched Megadeth's Rude Awakening DVD. I remember hearing negative reviews of it when it came out years ago which kind of put it further down my list and having never seen it on DVD I never considered getting it until recently when I saw it at JB for $9. Not sure what the people giving it negative reviews were talking about, it was pretty great. Good setlist, good sound and a decent show. I nearly messed my pants when they started playing Ashes In Your Mouth. Loved it.
