New Dwarf DVDs

Wonder if the packaging will be different? Seems odd to re-release them rather than just slash the price.

“Limited edition”… still on sale six years after release!

> “Limited edition”… still on sale six years after release!

Be fair – there’s been plenty of limited editions of stuff that never sold out!

Concept goes: you make a million (figuratively speaking) of something, call it “limited”, solemnly swear you’ll never make any more [without ever saying how many you DID make!] and watch the punters rush to buy it!

*got the limited edition of the series with the mini-skutter (VIII, I think). It broke.*

I never got the Starbug gift set – the Asda near me didn’t have it when V came out. I may have to snag it.

My first DVD was, in fact, Red Dwarf I. I bought it from the Virgin store in the Luton Arndale centre on my way into college, and they forgot to put the booklet in there. I stopped back on my way home to mention that the booklet was missing, and they replaced it for me. I didn’t own a DVD player at the time, but my sister had just got one for her birthday.

My first Bluray was the H2G2 movie, which I got cheap as I worked for Disney at the time.

Red Dwarf I was also my first DVD I ever owned, and i bought that first before buying my first DVD player… The same day of course, i’m not a mental.

Mine was Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and The Who: 30 Years of Maximum R&B. Bought em at the same time, but not sure which I watched first. Probably the latter. It’s still one of the best music DVDs I own.

I haven’t bought a BluRay yet. I’m still hoping I won’t have to.

My first HD-DVD was Shaun of the Dead.

…sigh.

My first DVD was Evolution, the Ivan Reitman film.

My first BD is from a Time Yet To Come.

Imagine my surprise…….it was Uncle Frank!!

> My first kiss was a girl called Gemma

Snap! Though not the same Gemma I wouldn’t have thought…:P

The first DVDs I owned were the T2 metal tin version and also…The Phantom Menace (the menus are better than the film!), as well as The League of Gentlemen series 2! All ordered from amazon.

Another interesting factoid – I received them on 11th Sept 2001, so…I’m not sure when I watched them!

Probably the 12th, I’d have guessed.

T2 in the metal tin, too – what an introduction to DVD

Hell yeah. You kinda spoiled yourself there, among the best DVD sets out there.

>Hell yeah. You kinda spoiled yourself there, among the best DVD sets out there.

For sure! Rivals most DVD sets today – even more impressive when you consider it was more or less a port of the laserdisc release IIRC.

The first CD I remember buying for myself was probably Gorillaz’ debut album, but I’m not entirely sure about that.

My first DVD was Austin Powers in Goldmember. First Blu-Ray was Watchmen Directors Cut.

First CD:

Beck, Mellow Gold

My first CD was a Disney songs compilation.

My second CD was… Spice, I think.

Oh, fuck you.

Blu-ray: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Oh dear.

No, if you’d started your sentence with “My first tinfoil recording was…” or “…my first Wax cylinder was…” THAt would mean you were ancient…

I remember my foster brother buying me a Country and Western dance record.

Cotton Eye Joe is a classic isn’t it?

First CD single: Baddiel & Skinner & Lightning Seeds – Three Lions (’96)

First DVD: Red Dwarf I (like many, didn’t have my own DVD player at the time. Got it for Christmas, watched it at parents’ and subsequently on computer of girlfriend at uni)

My first album (audio casette) was Beastie Boys- Licensed To Ill

My first DVD was….erm….I forget. My memory gets worse with age.

[shrugs] I’m just shit!!

[shrugs] I’m just shit!!

I don’t think that I can remember any of mine for definite. My brain is so rubbish!
What follows is a long rambling journey through my sketchy memory!

I *think* my first 7″ single was Heaven is a place on earth – Belinda Carlisle. My Mum used to be friends with someone who filled the jukeboxes so I used to get piles of old vinyl singles and it’s hard to remember.
EDIT: I’ve just remembered that I used to have a massive old His Master’s Voice record player in my bedroom at my Grandma’s house. My first vinyl single was the theme from Supergran by Billy Connolly! :oD Good one memory!

I never bought any vinyl albums myself, I just used to listen to my Mum’s. She had loads Duran Duran, Blondie and Queen were the ones I listened to the most.

First cassette single: I still owned all my cassette tapes until a few years ago when my evil ex threw them all away *grr* so it’s hard to remember. I reckon that it might have been You’ll Never Stop Me Loving You – Sonia (Hey, I was 9 okay!?!) That’s one I know I had and remember playing until it must’ve driven my Mum and Grandma mental, they never said anything though bless them!

First cassette album: I’m guessing but I’m fairly sure it’ll have been Ten Good Reasons – Jason Donovan

First CD single: The first one I actually remember buying was It’s Alright – East 17.

First CD album: Don’t know… Mum had one of those Britannia CD accounts so we used to get quite a few shared CDs (Parklife, Definitely Maybe and Out of Time all fall into this category) so I can’t remember which would have been *my* first CD, I reckon it would probably have been a NOW one.

First VHS: I remember this one. The Addams Family (1991). I watched it so many times that I can still remember the script now. Mum lent the VHS to a friend of hers at work and I never saw it again. :o(

First DVD: I have NO idea! I remember getting my first DVD player in about 2001 but I can’t remember what my first DVD was. It’ll most likely have been replacing an existing VHS copy of something and so isn’t particularly memorable. Will have a scan over the DVD collection later and see if I remember though, just out of interest!

First Blu-Ray: Back to Earth :oD

My first CD as Blur’s self titled album. I think my first DVD was Fight Club. Or Moulin Rouge, I can’t remember.

>You can’t remember if you’re gay or straight?

Which is which?
