Natter might be a better place for this question, but I'm too far behind in that thread, so: I want to get the My So-Called Life DVDs for my mother for Christmas, but when I checked Amazon, they only had them used, starting at $229!! Didn't they just come out last year, for a reasonable price? What happened? Is Amazon just on crack? But there's a comment on the page from someone who says that people are scouring eBay for the DVDs and paying upwards of $250. That's just insane. Help!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once I drove to downtown Minneapolis with a friend to see The Doors (is that what it was called?) My friend got stoned first, but I didn't because I was driving. My friend was giggling at all the silly parts. I so envied her stoned state.
I don't remember much at all about that movie. But the parts with the spirit of the dead Native American appearing to Morrison come to mind, as well as the scene of him getting blown while singing in the recording studio.
Oh, and I remember thinking at the time that Oliver Stone wanted to be Jim Morrison.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Doors (is that what it was called?)
That was the title of the film, but I think that people called it Jim, the Story of an Alcoholic Moron.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was on acid for The Doors (no, mother, of course I wasn't), and kept thinking "Wow, if this is bad now, imagine how much it must be sucking for the straight people." Nothing anyone has said convinced me that I needed to try again unhindered.

Dennis Leary said that there didn't need to be a movie about Jim Morrison, that you could summarize his life in three sentences: "I'm drunk, I'm nobody. I'm drunk, I'm famous. I'm drunk, I'm dead."

Except the movie had an "I'm drunk -- I'm dead ... boo!" moment, which pissed us off mightily. I was all set to leave.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yow. Earlier this year, they had them in stock for $70, I think. Maybe they're sold out? Ack. You might want to check other vendors, online and off.

Try DVDPriceSearch. They have one vendor for new with the price @ $98.00. They also have Amazon used for $150.00, which is odd.

They don't turn to vinegar?
Personally, I thought Val Kilmer did a good job as Jim Morrison, but that was due more to the fact that he can act that the director. The rest of the movie was complete and utter shit.
