What was the last bit of 'media' you legitimately purchased?
'Film', a 'CD' etc. Was it any good?

Are you excited about an upcoming release*?

EDIT I know this is dull but it's SURELY got more scope for reply than the last one.

*yes, spunk, ho ho, lol.

Jesus I don't know.
I rent stuff regularly for the purposes of digital theft, but I actually can't remember the last time I bought something.

Probably Shogun Total War 2 about three months ago. I was disappointed.

and a DVD of Lemmy's rock'n'roll side project The Head Cat - it's rather shit and I really don't have the money to waste. Bah.

The last thing was a DVD, Boondock Saints 2
It's one of my favourite films, so yes, I think it's good.

I'm quite looking forward to the new Conan film, as well as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

(I helped save b3ta! Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:22, Reply)
I loved it. I enjoyed it more than the original Pride and Prejudice.
I just thought it was a really great way of getting people at least some way involved with classics.
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:37, Reply)
classics aren'talways worth getting involved in, though
P&P being a prime example. Mostly I'm just bitter that sci fi classics always get missed out of classics lists

I bought about 6 "films" the other day
and the last music I bought was five remastered saxon albums.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:21, Reply)
Remastering would certainly do the two I have some good.
Great as Wheels of Steel is, it could really do with a remastering. The original mix is muddy at best.
(I helped save b3ta! Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:23, Reply)
It sounds pretty good.
I don't think I've heard the original mix though, as I think the version I stole off the internet at first was also the remastered one.

More importantly,
the leader of the Libyan Transitional National Council. Has said he is going to stand trial himself because he used to be a minister for Gadaffi.
That's a good sign isn't it?
(PsychoChomp, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:23, Reply)
It certainly sounds promising.
They do appear to be saying all the right things. And the pronouncements of Gaddaffis kids and followers are looking increasingly insane.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:25, Reply)
But not captured.
The fuck up over the capture story is a big failure for the TNC
(PsychoChomp, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:31, Reply)
Does anyone know if he was ever captured, or if he just escaped?
It's not really a failure, considering they know he's in Tripoli, and they have most of the rest of the country on their side, so they can sit tight for a bit if needed.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:32, Reply)
He says he never was captured.
TNC says he escaped but don't know how.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 12:37, Reply)
Ha also said that his forces had broken the back of the rebels
and that Nato was waging electronic warfare against the Libyan people.

I think he's what is known as an unreliable narrator.

Last CDs were Growers of Mushrooms by Leaf Hound,

I buy lots of books, which count as media, so it would be a book about poison arrows and greek fire. This was less of a good read than I had hoped.

It was fantastic. Very interesting to see the really early sci fi stuff, even pre Victorian.

Surely you just read what interests you. I don't read chick lit as a whole but not for snobbery. It just doesn't engage me. The same genre of films also, leaves me cold.

It's actually quite a while since I purchased one
though my sister did send me a John Fahey album for my birthday a few weeks ago. I've grown rather fond of it, the man was an amazing guitarist.

I don't know if these count as "upcoming" releases but I thought I'd share them with you as they're fairly recent and pretty damn obscure, but definitely worth a look-in:
music.conniptions.org/ - second album from Fit and the Conniptions. Pleasantly atmospheric, moody and much more developed than his first outing
And, erm, soundcloud seems to be playing up at the moment but I'll link to some previews of Chris McConville's new album later if anyone's interested.
