ppint. 8th Oct 2017		DVD Classic Comedy Moments • 19 Classic Moments From Your Favourite BBC Comedies - BBC (2008)	cat# given is taken from the matrix-equivalent: the only other number on the disc or package is VFC57068 below the pg classification triangle on the disc. i do not know which of these is the more significant - if either.
ppint. 30th Sep 2017		DVD Britain's Got Talent • Best Of The Auditions - News Of The World (2009)	yr hmbl srppnt.'s not intending to keep this; anyukcatter want it for the cost of postage? - pm me.
ppint. 25th Sep 2017		DVD Glengarry Glen Ross - The Mail On Sunday (2007)	from badinage regarding its availability, and the (im)morality of shoplifting the dvd vs. that of buying the wail on sunday, this seems to've been distributed with the 01/04/07 issue of that "newspaper".
ppint. 23rd Sep 2017		DVD Plan 9 From Outer Space - Image Entertainment (2000)	Review this er, creation of ed wood's is generally accepted to be a seriously worthy contender for the title of the worst feature film of all time. "unmissable". 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
ppint. 21st Sep 2017		DVD Highlander - News Of The World (2005)	the obverse of this dvd disc looks identical to monolith's image 73356 for the commercial dvd; is it "dvd world" ok to include that image here - and, if so, how do i make it happen?
ppint. 10th Sep 2017		DVD Billy Bites Yer Bum Live And Hand Picked By Billy - Universal (2003)	stand-up recontage and humour, includes strong language and sex references. there was once some debate about classification of the language as "english" .
ppint. 3rd Jun 2017		DVD Pirates Of The Caribbean • DVD GAME - Walt Disney (2007)	i'm not sure; it's nothing like the games yr hmbl srppnt.'s met° & thinks of as "video games". . . ° - and even played a few
ppint. 2nd Jun 2017		DVD Box Set Pirates Of The Caribbean • Four-movie Collection - Disney (2011)	and now given; so no longer owned, possessed nor controlled by yr hmbl srppnt.
ppint. 1st Jun 2017		DVD Box Set Pirates Of The Caribbean • Four-movie Collection - Disney (2011)	unopened, as yr hmbl srppnt.'s shortly giving it to a friend who's visiting from the deep south-wet. filmic details (directors, producers, screenwriters, actors, etc.) are as for the separate releases. further information on discs, and any other details of contents unknown to this deponent.
ppint. 15th May 2017		DVD Doctor Who: The Trial Of A Time Lord #9-#12 - Terror Of The Vervoids (2008)	eeek! (just spotted this) - umm, not atm, i'm still in lancaster, feeding my ex's triffids and watering the cat; last day, though - they should be back from malta today - so yr hmbl srppnt.'ll be able to check "wot i dun rong" some time tonight. (the doctor who dvds haven't had time to sink into the depths of the geological stratificatory filing system - well, not very far - not yet. . .)(can you pm me back the correction i requested - once it's sent, we've no record of it automagically put into e.g. our pm out-box.)(which might be a Good Idea to suggest, if it's a possibility?) edit: - 'k: back home & awake: it's " "musical scales" musical experimentation in doctor who; " as needs deleting from features: paragraph/section.
ppint. 4th May 2017		DVD Eye For An Eye [1996] - Paramount (2002)	prior to bar-codes and isbns, eans and the like, publishers of necessity developed their own cataloguing systems by which their books, 78s, lps, singles, eps and cds could be warehoused and found again, and ordered by a firm shorter than title - author/editor - imprint (& the equivalents thereof). these were the catalogue numbers, or cat#s, frequently in the music industry partly alphabetical, with the alpha prefix indicating label (equivalent of book publisher's imprint) and often the legally-maintained or recommended retail price. as the isbns (nowadays, since the introduction of isbn-13s, retrospectawigglilly-termed isbn10s), eans and, eventually, bar-codes came in, some publishers, record companies & music companies allocated these in a more-or-less rational fashion, built up from their cat# systems; some did not - and some ignored the new systems pretty well completely, so the cat# was not, and has not fully been superceded. dvds (& blu-ray discs) are commonly still allocated a cat# by which smaller retailers can order them (on release and for restocks); some small record & cd-publishing music companies (and publishers) still function without any form of computerised stock-control & (less commonly) accounts system: for these, the cat# (or, in extremis, the full long-hand title - author/editor/singer/group/band/orchestra,soloist(s)+conductor - imprint/label name) are required. if nowhere else, a dvd's cat# will normally be found at/near head or foot of the standard case insert.
ppint. 1st May 2017		DVD Two Mules For Sister Sara - Universal (2007)	the "manolo fábregas" of the cinema world (& film?) credits is manuel fábregas, as listed in notes.
ppint. 17th Apr 2017		DVD Futurama • Volume Four - 20th Century Fox (2003)	the charity shop had discs 1 & 4, and the cases for 1, 2, 3 & 4; i think they broke up a possibly incomplete boxed or card slip-cased set, as the printed-paper inserts are bare of any bar-codes. they let me have the insert for #3, but not that for #2. . . (i'm absolutely certain all four referred to leela as "leila" - but i could be wrong; i'll check the three printed-paper inserts i have, tonight...) (edit: nope, it's "leela". "woops...")
ppint. 13th Apr 2017		DVD I, Robot - 20th Century Fox (2004)	the central section of the disc is not printed on my copy, but left as a semi-opaque ~.5 cm annular ring between two narrow high-gloss transparent rings, else identical sfaics: no disc 2, no provision for a disc 2, and no suggestion that there should be one - save for the "disc 1" printed on the obverse. . .
ppint. 9th Apr 2017		DVD Kill Bill Volume 2 - Buena Vista (2004)	mine is very close to, but not identical with, this: same bar-code, but cat# Z1 D881274, & no republic of ireland age classification on the printed-paper insert - though it is present on the disc. two offer vouchers were included: one for a free single admission ticket at a uci cinema in uk or ireland (valid 'til end 31/10/2004), one for a free 275ml bottle of wkd iron brew or blue at your local yates's bar (valid 'til end 31/12/2005).
ppint. 26th Mar 2017		DVD Tron Legacy - Disney (2010)	date given is year date of film release, london; no date on disc or printed-paper insert. the live action parts framing the animation are not exactly essential to its enjoyment.
ppint. 26th Mar 2017		DVD Enemy Of The State - Touchstone	the date i've given is the date year of the film, which was first released 11/1998, so the date of this dvd could be later.
ppint. 23rd Mar 2017		DVD Conan The Destroyer - The Sun (2006)	distributed free of any additional charge with the sun "newspaper" in the uk-of-gb (& norn iron?) in twin-pocket card sleeve with empty pocked pre-printed for the separately similarly-distributed dvd of the "highlander" film.
ppint. 18th Mar 2017		DVD The Dark Is Rising - 20th Century Fox (2007)	Rated 10/10 one of the finest single film "young-teens-through-adults fantasy films" known to yr hmbl srppnt. - though it varies significantly from the novel(s), and is disliked by some for this. in addition, it casts one of the few active female rôles - which is very well played - rather stereoptypically as an evil temptress. n.b. susan cooper expressed strong reservations during the film's making, too. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
ppint. 17th Mar 2017		DVD Van Helsing - Universal (2004)	mine is, sfaics, identical except: the printed-paper insert is of a generally greyer overcast hue, rather than blue or green; and the cat# is 823 113 5 • 11 top left rear corner, bar code no. 5050582311358.
ppint. 4th Mar 2017		DVD House Of Flying Daggers - Pathé	almost identical, standard plastic two-disc case with hinge mounts for push-in second disc leaf on inside of spine; in a card slipcase; top front cover printed insert and the card slipcase both bear a darker green band advising "two-disc collector's edition"; main front illustration of card slipcase has top & sides framework added. run time approx 114 minutes • colour. region 2. PAL 2.35:1 (aspect ratio) disc 1 DVD9 dual layer single sided disc disc 2 DVD5 single layer single sided disc language mandarin chinese 5.1, mandarin chinese 5.1 DTS dolby digital main feature / subtitles° english ° subtitles in local language audio may be available on some special features spine cat# P-OGB P916301001 on slip case, spine cat# P-SGB P916301001 on printed insert barcode no. 5060002833759 disc 1 P916301000.D1, VFC 74177 disc 2 P916301000.D2, VFC73690
ppint. 19th Dec 2016		DVD The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe - Daily Mail (2008)	cptbfhrt: thanks for the scans.
ppint. 15th Dec 2015		DVD Doctor Zhivago [2002] - Cinema Club (2004)	also available on two discs from consecutive issues of the mail on sunday, q.l.v.
ppint. 10th Dec 2015		DVD Sign "o" The Times - The Observer (2007)	the matrix-equivalent string does contain the word, "sing", and not "sign"; please do not "correct" this. . . :-)
ppint. 7th Oct 2015		DVD Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Disney (2006)	just thought: the date may be out by a few months, as that given prob'ly refers to the single-disc release.
ppint. 21st Sep 2015		Multi-Format The 10th Victim - Shameless (2014)	the four-authored screenplay (in italian) is based upon the robert sheckley story, "the seventh victim"; sfaiaa, no-one knows for certain why the required score/body-count was raised to ten. the novel, "_the tenth victim_", based upon the screenplay, is by robert sheckley, who later wrote two companion novels to it, "_victim prime_" (methuen, london 1/87) & "_hunter/victim_" (methuen, london 5/88).
ppint. 16th Sep 2015		DVD Jude - Universal (2010)	mods: my - or the tablettything's - error: [ i/ ] instead of [ /i ] (in either case, without the spaces), hence the bulk of the notes: section's in unintended (leastways, by yr hmbl srppint. - who cannot speak for the intentions of the tablettything) italics: correction requested.
ppint. 8th Sep 2015		DVD Dune - Castle Home Video (1999)	mmarmmellaade: but if lynch'd been allowed to aim for a film half as long again (c. 190 mins instead of ~135), and shoot enough extra explanatory expansion to take an "producer's cut" up to two full dvds... - fans'd've delighted in it more, and for longer, - but would it have been any more coherent?
ppint. 24th Aug 2015		DVD Too Many Crooks - Granada Ventures (2002)	terry-thomas must've been the best, moustache-preening, upper-class british bounder ever. . .° ° - and cad, to boot!
ppint. 20th Aug 2015		DVD The Naked Truth - Granada Ventures (2002)	classification: u(niversal), suitable for all.
