| | Posted: | | | | You all know I recently had 2 friends send me a nice big box of DVDs here lately. Well... Another friend is getting into the act... with a huge package!  So huge I don't think I can post them all here the way I usually do... so to cut down on the size I will say I got... Star Trek: The Original SeriesThis is the original release of the series... when it was released on 40 DVDs... 2 episodes each. So that alone is 40 releases!Star Trek Movies: - Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Star Trek: Generations - Star Trek: First Contact - Star Trek: Insurrection - Star Trek: Nemesis And then he is also sending me... NOTE: These may not be the right releases... as he just gave me a list of titlesAnchors Aweigh Region 1 Released: 5/2/2000 Full Frame 1.33 The Matrix Region 1 Released: 9/21/1999 Anamorphic 2.35 The Matrix Revisited Region 1 Released: 11/20/2001 Full Frame 1.33 The Animatrix Region 1 Released: 6/3/2003 Anamorphic 2.35 The Matrix Reloaded Region 1 Released: 10/14/2003 Anamorphic 2.35 The Matrix Revolutions Region 1 Released: 4/6/2004 Anamorphic 2.40 Perry Mason: Season 3: Volume 2 Region 1 Released: 12/2/2008 Full Frame 1.33 Mary Poppins Region 1 Released: 3/24/1998 Widescreen 1.85 National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets Region 1 Released: 5/20/2008 Anamorphic 2.35 Pinocchio Region 1 Released: 3/7/2000 Full Frame 1.33 I want to say one more time to my friend... Thank You very much for thinking of me while cleaning out your collection! I have never seen any of the early (first 3) Star Trek movies.... but I have always loved Star Trek... so once this huge package gets here... I know my first marathon will be... Weekend Movie Marathon: The Final Frontier! | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | my friend just replied to me. And said that he will be shipping out the package either today or Monday. He also told me that he is still going through his collection and that there may be some more titles. But if so they will be a surprise! Torture!   | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | So much for the torture... guess he changed his mind and told me what else he put in the package... I got another PM from my friend... he let me know a few other he was able to put into the big box (his words)... First BloodThis will be an additional copy. I already have it. But that is ok... I am sure I will be able to find a home for it.  Snow White and the Seven DwarfsBrittany has a copy... now I will have a copy too! Stargate: Ultimate EditionThis will be an upgrade for me... as I now have the special edition. He went off to send this out to me UPS today... so looks like I will have them fairly soon... possibly in time for next weekend's marathon? | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Let me tell you... that is about how it has been for me too when you figure just here locally. I have been surprised to find that when it comes to generous people giving me DVDs like this... it is always people I meant far away from here... and not only do they go through the trouble of picking out movies for me... they also go through the trouble... and pay for shipping it to me! I have met some of the most generous people I ever known on the net! It amazes me! | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Woohoo! I was chatting with the friend that sent me Blind Side and all that low budget horror (among other stuff) recently. And I now have this on the way!.... The Wolfman Region 1 Released: 6/1/2010 Anamorphic 1.85 Woohoo!  I been waiting so long to see this one. And talk about torture waiting to be able to watch it! This is going to be a long next 45 Days!!! She also told me that while she was at it she sent me 2 more low budget horror movies to add to my collection. She didn't say what the two movies were in her PM to me though. So When I replied I asked... but she may make me wait to be surprised on those two. | | | | Pete |
