After a few weeks off for holiday craziness, i.e. laziness, I am back with a few updates. Santa, aka my girlfriend, must have thought I was a berry berry good little boy this year and hooked me up with a whopping 111 Hong Kong flicks! This ups my collection to 2,284 total...give or take a few. When my apartment stops looking like a public storage facility I will get a true count. Someday.....someday. Anyway Santa Girlfriend's haul includes a few newer titles like Herman Yau's
SPLIT SECOND MURDERS and
REBELLION, Johnny To's
VENGEANCE, Soi Cheang's
ACCIDENT, Wong Jing's
ON HIS MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, Louis Koo and Lau Ching-wan's
POKER KING,and the Roy Chow shitter
MURDER starring Aaron Kwok. God awful film.....god awful. Some Shaw Bros. titles: the 1968 action flick
GUN BROTHERS, Yueh Hua in
SWEET IS REVENGE, the 1982 comedy
ROLLS, ROLLS I LOVE YOU, and the 1968 mystery
THE 5 BILLION DOLLAR LEGACY. A few of the cooler vcd titles: Chow Yun-fat in
SEE BAR, Ronny Yu's
SAVIOR, Chen Kuan-tai's
DANGEROUS PERSON, the Tsui Hark produced
DECEPTION, a few Dick Wei crappers
MAGIC MOD and
A KILLING ORDER, and the lovely Simon Loui title
BEWARE OF THE STRIPTEASE.
I also scored a Laserdisc of the great
UNDERGROUND BANKER. Up until this point I have stayed away from LD's. For one, I don't have a Laserdisc player. Though the main reason is that my dvd/vcd/vhs/poster mania keeps me poor. Moths fill my wallet more than dollars. If I start collecting LD's I will have to apply for WIC. Sooooo, yeah. On second thought.....maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea? I saw a few cool LD's on ebay.
I have seen laser disc players for free or very cheap ($25) on craigslist.
ReplyDeleteBy the way: you're insane! so many movies!
Hahaha Thanks Sylvia. I AM insane...or so I keep being told. I have seen laserdisc players for dirt cheap too. But i've seriously shied away from buying one because it will be a gateway to draining my bank account. Laserdisc's aren't cheap. But I'm considering keeping my eye out for rare discs or of films that I don't have in other formats.
