I was doing so well. I told myself I wouldn’t buy any more DVDs until I’d either caught up on the ones that I already own or until Columbo season 2 comes out (early March). And I’d not bought any for WEEKS! (That’s impressive for me.) But, unfortunately, Meijer was having a deal – the “new” Miyazaki releases were only $17 apiece, instead of $20. And when I checked online, no one had prices that low. So I got Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Porco Rosso which were written & directed by Hayao Miyazaki (creator of Spirited Away, and my personal favorite, Kiki’s Delivery Service.) They also had The Cat Returns, which is from the same studio and based upon a “concept” by Miyazaki, and since it was about a cat, I had to get it. 🙂
“OK,” you say, “I understand about the sale prices… but why did you buy Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow too?” Um, no comment…
Erm… WOW… cause the new Miyazaki’s are supposed to be -30- buck DVDs… Nice buy… And i think there’s a promotion that if you buy all 3 of the new ones, you can mail in for something…
Yup. The real humor is that the free DVD is a choice from Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky or Kiki’s Delivery Service. And I have those three. I think I might go ahead & get a second copy of Kiki and give it to Amy & Rachel or something. $1.99’s a great price for a wonderful movie.
DVDs are my crack i can’t stop buying!
Ooh. I’ve had Porco Rosso recommended. I’ll have to see it sometime.
Sale prices are a good thing. I would want to buy Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow too. So go for it!
