I prayed to the DVD gods and they answered.
July 18, 2006 is the day we all realize mankind's true potential and all go out and buy Deluxe Edition copies of the definitive Patrick Swayze film for only $14.99. Anyone who argues that Swayze was better in that dancing movie or the one with Whoopie Goldberg gets roundhouse kicked. Hard. You only think I'm joking.Please, for the love of all that's holy, let there be a Swayze commentary track. Please. I would stab another human being if that would make it happen. Again, you only think I'm joking.
DVD gods answering prayers part 2:
Here we have a super-deluxe Criterion Collection two-disc version of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. It comes out the day before my birthday. Coincidence? I think not. The DVD gods have looked at my credit card bill and said, "you have worshiped us well, Maki. This has not gone unnoticed."
DVD gods saying, "watch yourself, buddy..." part 3:
Then they smited me by releasing this. Dammit.

Fuck yeah is two words and fuck yeah again is three words.
Just sayin', yo ;)
Duh!
You and Jen must have the same sense of humor...
I am doing some registry online right now and opened your blog iin a new window. Do you think it would be OK to register for the Road House DVD? And if not, is there an Eddie Murphy Raw/Coming to America box set? And can one register for porn? It, technically, is wedding-related.
I not only think it's OK, but I encourage it. However, and this may be a little presumptuous of me but I'm gonna go with it anyway, if I am somehow invited to the wedding I call dibs on that shit now.
I see no problem with porn on the registry. Unless his parents or your parents are the ones that buy it for you. Then that's just awkward.
How can you be a cable guy and a health inspector at the same time. Only a redneck...
Honestly, I'm Jake the Zookeeper, Oral Surgeon.
See, it doesn't make fucking sense.
Like Kurasawa, I make mad films...
Roadhouse is such a fine piece of cinema.
Too bad you have to have the real thing, you know Brian has all those Kung Fu movies :-)
I was just messin' around....
...and glad to know that Jen also gave you a hard time about it, too!! =)
"I fucked guys like you in prison!"
The single most intimidating while being an incredibly uncomfortable threat in the history of movies.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You fuck guys? GAY! Please don't kill me!"
You've fallen off of the buying more DVDs wagon again I see.
Sorry Maki, but this movie is bad. I'm not saying I haven't seen it 100 times, I'm just saying it's bad. I agree with Face, Sam Elliot did kick ass and made the movie 'watchable' at least. Maybe if they had a couple more Kelly Lynch nude scenes or something...
Quick: Name all of the movies that had the song, "Everybody was Kung Fu Fight-Ting" in it.
D'oh! I would buy the Seven Samurai two disk, but I already own the one disk version. Mrs. Mosley got it for my birthday years ago and she considers that one of the few well-chosen gifts she's ever given me, so trading it in is probably a bad idea.
As for the other, well, it must be your lucky day, Maki, because look what else got released.
Being deprived of a Road House special edition DVD has been one of the great crimes perpetrated upon humanity-at-large.
Good to know I can scratch that off the list. And buy me some Road House!
The Seven Samurai is so tempting - after I get Ran.
