Roseanne’s Halloween DVD YES YES!

I think I've found the greatest DVD in history, and I am absolutely serious. Then again, I thought the same thing last year when The He-Man & She-Ra Christmas special came out. And then even just a short while back when The Wizard nailed a release. Still, this may top 'em all:


Awwww fuck yeah, a DVD containing each and every Halloween episode of Roseanne. Now, I love the show, but I realize that this is not an opinion shared universally. Between off-screen antics and a final season that can be held accountable for at least forty suicide cases, I understand that Roseanne is an object of polarization among would-be critics. On the other hand, nobody could argue that the show wasn't the very best sitcom in history as far as Halloween episodes went. From Darlene sprouting a fleshy alien through her belly to Dan dressing as a kind of Jason/Leatherface hybrid, all seven Roseyweens are here, and the star even provides audio commentary as a bonus feature.

I'll hold off on a more in-depth look until the Halloween Countdown rolls around, but just know that the DVD is out now and dirt cheap. It's easy to spot, too, since few other DVD boxes feature anything that looks like a pumpkin with Roseanne's face carved into it.

I wasn't expecting to post twice today, so let's consider today's earlier post the Saturday Day Thread, and this one the Saturday Night Thread. Even though I'm posting this in the afternoon. Yeah.

I heard Joe Dante did an excellent Masters of Horror.
Speaking of, um, boobies, I spent the afternoon yesterday watching Memoirs of a Geisha. Movie’s a bit slow, and it’s not exactly a feminist manifesto, but that Ziyi Zhang is a stone fox. Gong Li’s quite the babe too.

Thanks. I’m hearing impaired, so subtitles are a must. I actually have every TaleSpin Episode on VHS (I recorded it when it was on the Disney Channel), but I’m looking forward to having them on a more stable format. Too bad they didn’t put out Plunder and Lightening as one movie, though…

JLAJRC: They are making Floam once again. TRU, Target, and Michael’s have it, I know. It’s rather expensive: 6.99 for one tub of it, or 9.99 for 3 smaller tubs, each a different color. I’m sure there are other combo’s out there, too.

They also sell Floam on TV all the time, and if you call now, we’ll DOUBLE the order.

Hallowe’en Boobies!
I’m gonna take ‘em behind the bushes!

This is the last Sunday of the season I’m at work. The Gallery is going to Winter hours. Bye-bye extra pay! But I am saving a little her and there toward some spooky stuff. And maybe a new TV.

What cool is when you can get a row of the singing ones, with the help of some pals, to all go off in sync. Then get out of there as non-chalantly as possible.
