A million stupid movies can't be wrong!

 Hello.   It's me again.   Back with more movie stupidity.   Today's title is a play on the 'A 1,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong'.  And that is what mostly started the latest flood of stupidity. Well that and a continuation of my back issue. (My back got better, then the right side started hurting.  Then it got better.  And now my whole lower back aches.  Getting old sucks.)

Anyways......  I bought that 20 Action Movies pack when my back was out.  So of course I started perusing the evil eBay for other 20 action movie pack that I could get on the cheap.  I found a couple more, both with very generic names, both from Echo Bridge.  One is called 20 Action Movies and has Chuck Norris on the cover and contains a few movies with Chuck.  The other is called 20 Film Action and contains Supercop by Jackie Chan (more on that later).

Then one evening the wife and I were done with watching the people we subscribe to on YouTube and she was flipping around trying to find something to watch when I joked that we could watch one of the Elvis movies that I had (since the wife and I have watched a couple of them back in the day when I had bought some Elvis VHS tapes from Big Lots I believe.  While she didn't bite that evening, we can into the same problem the next evening when she said 'Go get an Elvis movie.  So we watched Kissin' Cousin.  I enjoyed it, she tolerated it.  But of course that got the wheels going and I started looking at what Elvis collections were out there on the cheap.  After assessing what I had (two 4 movie compilations and copies of Kid Galahad and Viva Los Vegas), I went out and purchased a trio of collections that leave me with 27 out of the 31 movies that Elvis made (excluding the concert movies).  I picked up a collection called Elvis 75th Birthday collection which had 7 movies from MGM and 20th Century Fox, a collection called Lights! Camera! Elvis! which featured 8 Paramount movies, and an Elvis triple feature collection with 3 Warner Brothers movies.  That left me with 4 that I still need to get.  Three of them are on my Amazon list and a fairly readily available.  The last one I need is Loving You but this seems to only be available on a couple long out of print and expensive DVD sets.  I'll have to figure that one out.

And of course, that kept the wheels spinning on the stupid movie train.  I then wondered if there were any other Maverick titles that were interesting that weren't on my radar.  I found one called Babes & Boyz.  One company called Dream Books Company had it on the cheap and was running a buy two get one free sale.  They had been on my radar about a year ago when I was getting things from that other company (Second Sale) while had botched a few of my orders by not including all the discs, so I was a little wary.  However, things looked a little better so I figured I'd give them a shot.  I managed to find a couple of western 4 Movie Marathon sets (James Stewart Westerns and Classic Western Collection (feat. the movie The Texas Rangers) that were on my Amazon list which was awesome.  For for $9.50 I picked them up.  And I was very happy with that purchase.  All of them items were in good condition and had all the discs.  One was still shrink-wrapped!

And the train kept rolling and I was looking at my Amazon list and a had a few Jackie Chan collections still on there from Christmas time.  So I perused eBay and found a cheap copy of an eight movie collection of Jackie Chan Miramax movies.

I have my eye on a Cannon Films collection featuring a few more Chuck Norris movies.  It's an actual auction, so I'm hoping I win that one.  

I guess we'll see.   

Hope all is well with you (whomever is reading this... probably no one but me :P ).  Take care!

Throwing out your back equals buying 40 movies of stupidity!

Yes, you read that correctly.  I threw out my back a couple of weeks ago (and then got food poisoning a few days later on top of that), so while I was laid up and in pain, I needed something to distract me.  That distraction came in the form of many things, one of which was looking at eBay.

I now own 40 more movies (37 of them are new to my collection).

I bought the following:   20 Action Movies from Echo Bridge, Dark Disposition - 10 Horror Movies from Maverick and Most Wanted - 10 Action Movies also from Maverick.

So stupid.

Updates in the usual places:  Here and Here

A quick (and stupid) update!

 For Christmas, I got a couple of movie packs:  Elvis Presley Musicals and Classic Westerns 10-Movie collection.

The other day, I saw that a couple of the movie packs I had on my Christmas list were still available at nice price (both were under $6.25), so I got Wartime Comedies 8-Movie Collection and War 10-Movie Collection.

The Elvis set was from Warner Bros and the other were from Universal, so the quality on these is pretty darn good.

Oh, and Norah broke her ankle and leg at the beginning of February.  One leg went one way, the other folded underneath her.  Dislocated and broke her ankle as well as breaking her fibula.   D'oh!  Obviously, she's still in a cast but she's been a trooper.  Hopefully she can go back to school soon.   BTW, medical bills are fun!

Smokey and stupid

Super short update, My wife got me Smoke and the Bandit - The 7-Movie Outlaw Collection to add to my stupid movie collection.   This has the 2 Smokey films most people know about, a Part 3 which barely has Burt Reynolds in it and actually has Sheriff Buford T. Justice racing against the clock, followed by 4 made-for-TV movies from 1994 featuring Brian Bloom as Bandit.

In other news, the hernia surgery went fine.  I was really sore for 5 days but then quickly recovered (in my opinion).  It cost a small fortune per the bill and with my high deductible health plan, I had to pay out the nose.  But it is what it is.  Put it on the plastic and pay that you can pay it off later I suppose.
