My total this year includes videos, both DVD and Bluray (I haven’t had my VHS or LaserDisc players connected in ages, though I still have both and two of the latter) and video on demand. I’m maintaining a sort of tradition of trying to see at least one prequel before seeing a sequel, thus I saw both Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman before going to see Justice League. As it happens, I hadn’t seen either of the first two movies before, so it was kinda fun. And I had no idea how much Bruce was lusting after Clark, Justice League just went on to prove it.

So, on to my thoughts after the cut. And some spoilers in my comments, so be ye forewarned.

Well, that sucks

I don't own a copy of Flash Gordon! Yesterday I downloaded the RPG sourcebook for the Savage Worlds system, only to find out that I don't have the movie! I have the sound track, but I don't have the movie! I'm one of those weirdos that actually likes the movies! I have this soft spot in my heart for many B movies and if this one ain't in that category, I don't know what deserves to be there.

I guess I'll have to check my subscription services and expect to be disappointed, and add it to my list of things to look for when next I'm in Phoenix.

But in good news, I found that I do have a copy of World's End, so at least I don't have to look for that.
