Just read through the whole thread having never noticed it before, and I'm afraid I have to agree with the general consensus that Ringo has more money than sense. Oh how nice it would be to just splurge vast cash on DVDs without having to concern yourself with what that money could be better spent on.
On a similar note, I have made numerous additions to my own DVD collection of late, though mostly second-hand (I very rarely buy brand new DVDs unless they're dirt cheap, with very occasional exceptions). Recent additions include: Gremlins 1 & 2 Groundhog Day The Hangover The Invention of Lying Man On The Moon National Lampoon's Vacation Terminator 2 - Directors Cut The Young Ones - series' 1 & 2
On an unrelated note, I do wonder sometimes the point of buying movie box-sets for ongoing series'. It was Ringo's comment about buying a James Bond box-set that got me thinking about this. Say you splurge all that dosh on the fancy gold box-set, as soon as the next sequel is released the box set will be an incomplete collection, which is why I would never buy a movie box set unless I was certain there would be no further additions (such as Back to the Future, which was totally worth getting). Die Hard Quadrilogy is an exception, only because I got it as a gift, rather than buying it myself.

Or, if you have big feet, a jar inside a sock!

Or a sock inside a jar full of socks with jars in each of them! D: *brain implodes*

Heroes Season 4 came through the post this morning. I'm just about to unwrap it now, and now I can watch the episodes again in a gigantic story arc marathon.
