because I have nothing else to watch

[phosfate]

After enduring heykidzcomix' incessant nagging*, I found the Brisco County DVD set last night. Watched the pilot with commentary. I am a better human being now.

Mom had a giant girlcrush on Dixie Cousins, and it's hard to blame her. She also always felt it necessary to point out that Brisco's dad was buried on a hill "for the drainage," then cackle like a fiend. Strange woman.

So far, the best thing is learning that the Rocket Car was a functioning vehicle that could shoot 30-foot jets of flame. Carlton Cuse volunteered to ride it back to the roundhouse after shooting, which must surely have been the best thing ever.

Also, I might have asked you this before, but I'm not quite sure so I'm asking you again: Where did you get your Sailor Moon dvds? I ask because I seemed to have renewed by love of it as of late, and after trying and somewhat succeeding at tracking down the manga I want to try rewatching the anime.

*needs a Sailor Saturn icon badly*

They came off Amazon (used and new), local shops, and deepdiscountdvd.com -- except for the Sailorstars box, which came from http://www.animecollector.com/ and is highly illegal. I'd feel bad about this if there was a Region 1 release, but I doubt we'll get one until the first-generation SM fans grow up and demand it, as the 80s cartoon fans have done for their She-Ra and Transformers.

The other seasons have uncut U.S. releases, but it's my understanding that they're out of print. So you're limited to store stock and the secondary market. :(

Balls. Still I figured it would be something like that. I know with that manga is out of print and Tokyopop wants to do a reprint, but all the distribution rights for the SM manga are tied up at the moment because Takeuchi is having a tiff with TOEI. Since my copies got thrown out years ago (to my regret) I've tried locating scans online, to some success.

Heck, I guess you could call me a first generation SM fan, seeing as how it was my introduction to anime and all. I want DVDs! I demand it!

*crickets*

Still animecollector.com looks good, I guess I'll add the dvds to my Christmas and Birthday wish lists. :3

If they do a reprint, I hope they do a complete remastering. Those early volumes are horrid.
