I've been lazy on my postings, so today I am doing a round up of the some DVD's I have purchased at Amazon over the past few years.
The Big Bang Theory, Season One
I love this show. I didn't watch it when it first came on, because I did not like Kaley Cucco on Charmed. I started watching the series with our friend Andy, and ended up laughing hysterically over the antics of Leonard and Sheldon, and the interactions with "normal" Penny.
The scene in one of the first episodes where Penny asks "There was more than one Superman movie?", which led to a discussion of the physics of Superman's abilities is eerily similar to conversations I have heard and HAD with my dear husband and some of his cohorts.
This is a short season, due to the writers' strike, so I would not recommend paying full retail for this set, in spite of all of it's geeky gloryessness. Instead, watch for a deal at Amazon or Target. Amazon has had this for at least half-off, so they probably will again.
This Pixar flick is about what you'd expect from a Pixar movie. It was a good story, the animation was excellent. The three-disk set with the digital copy (which we did get) seemed like a good deal on sale, but we had to wonder why the packaging said the digital copy was included, when we had to download it from iTunes. Doesn't make a lot of sense, Disney!
Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog
Absolutely, utterly, completely hilarious. Even if you saw this on iTunes, or in the original downloads, the DVD is an excellent addition to your collection -- if only for the musical commentary that accompanies it. I would pay for a soundtrack of that commentary! The Whedon factory really can put together a package.
If you are unsure about what the story is, you can check out Hulu, where the "blog" can be heard in it's original form.
