Rents, buys

The rentals and purchases, as promised.

Purchased:

Back to the Future.

The complete trilogy, in one package. With more than ten hours of extra material. It's a geeky group of films, but a fun bunch. I'm pleased to own them.

Rented:

Naked Lunch

David Cronenberg's film adaptation of the resolutely surrealist William S. Burroughs book.

(Sample from Burroughs: "I can feel the heat closing in, feel them out there making their moves, setting up their devil doll stool pigeons, crooning over my spoon and dropper I throw away at Washington Square Sation, vault a turnstile and two flights down the iron staris, catch an uptown A train....")

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Kevin Smith's resolutely smutty film about nothing in particular, taking up one disc of movie and one disc of extras.
