Every other season of The Sopranos I needed to complete the series (about four). And it cost pennies, man... Pennies!

Flavour of the month really is true when it comes to boxsets!

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract - I imagine it's based on the comic arc of the same name but with the changes you'd expect from the from DC Comics' animated movies.

Are any of the Resident Evil sequels any good? I have the first one and I really like that, but haven't heard anything positive about the sequels...

I love the first two Resident Evil movies. They flow together pretty well. The wheels really come off on the third one, although I got the feeling when it came out, it was meant to be the last one. The real problem, for me, is that the third one veers into wanting to be a mix of Resident Evil and Day of the Dead, which means we wind up with an average, though beautifully shot, zombie movie with Resident Evil beats. Afterlife and Retribution are okay, but part of their problem is they have to deal with the post-Extinction fallout.

But now I can find out what the plan for RE3 was, as my old DVD copy of Extinction had zip for special features, because I got Resident Evil- The Complete Collection on Blu-Ray.

The first two are the best. The rest get steadily poorer as they go.

Logan in a steelbook, which also included Logan: Noir, which is a black and white version of the movie.

Arcadia of My Youth on blu-ray.

Which of course my busted region A player refuses to play. First I got the menu animation but not the actual menu and on the second attempt the damn thing refused to load. My BD-ROM at least plays it but the tray is busted, it takes a dozen attempts to get it to close.

Guess I'll be looking into replacing or repairing the player next month at last.

The 70's Wonder Woman!

A really fun show of the sort that frequently verges on being quite bad. Probably a masterclass in how you can get away with a lot on TV if your leads are likeable, and Lynda Carter is incredibly charming.

For a 70's show set in the 40's with a female lead it actually avoids any real sexism, beauty pageant episode aside (mainly because Steve, up till that point someone who treats his secretary in a professional and respectful way, suddenly starts coming out with stuff like "You can't go undercover here, we need someone who looks good in a bathing suit!" and "I wonder if Wonder Woman can cook?").

Wonder Woman having a speech every episode about the awesomness of womanhood might be a bit on the nose, but it's actually quite endearing and sadly probably still necessary.

Mind, I understand that the switch to the '70's in generally awful (though the episode where it happens in the main thing I remember from a--ITV?--repeat run back when I was a kid).

And Steve Trever should clearly be the name of the actor and Lyle Waggoner the character.

A while back I picked up Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition on Bluray. For $13, it was a good deal - came with the Bluray, DVD, and Digital HD. It's an OK movie; I think it gets a worse rap than really needed. Too long though.

And prior to that I had snagged Rogue One on Bluray, preceded quite some time ago by TMNT: Out of the Shadows, if I hadn't posted that one way back when. Both of these are pretty stellar, IMO.

A week-ish ago VUDU had a sale going on, so I picked up a digital HD bundle of Green Lantern and Watchmen for cheap. I'm halfway through Green Lantern and it isn't as bad as I remember. Maybe I just haven't hit the really bad parts yet. Not much too it, though. Maybe that's why people didn't really care for it.

Beetlejuice on blu-ray - never seen this one, apart from a bit of the ending I caught on TV once and remember very little of, apart from some kind of a human high striker - and Jewel of the Nile on blu-ray, which I have seen but I'm pretty sure the last time was when the year number started with a 1 and again remember very little of. The only bit I do remember is a wingless jet plane driving into a sandstorm.
