Criterion edition of Spartacus. Received the LaserDisc last week. Tri-fold cover ... excellent video/audio quality and loads of extra's on three discs.

A friend of mine got pissed at me when I told her I haven't seen Disney's Hercules yet, despite my having the Laserdisc. I'm probably going to be watching that next. As of right now, been on a nostalgic sports thing recently so I've been watching my Japanese Pancrase laserdiscs: If you don't know, that's a Mixed Martial Art promotion in Japan. The original rules were close to Pro Wrestling (no closed fist punches, grabbing the ropes breaks a submission hold) but it was "mostly" real (there were a few "worked" fights.) I just now noticed that many of these LDs aren't logged here on LDDb. Guess I have some work to do!

My latest LD watch was Walerian Borowczyk's La Bête just couple of days ago, it was bit of a b**ch to sit thru as audio track is mix of english and french dialogue but luckily I had seen this one before with complete english subs so I could focus completely on saucy (although fogged) bits

That makes me smile. Whenever my 4 year old gets a chance to watch a movie in the main room where I have the laserdisc set up - "Aladdin!" It's the only kids LD I have at the moment and I should really try to get some more so I can pass down the love of LD to the next gen. She is always so excited when I open up that gatefold and she has to look at all the characters. The last LD I watched was The Shawshank Redemption. I scored a copy with very minimal rot, I have a second copy that is just unwatchable. Image was great, but what stood out the most was the score. It was magnificent, so richly detailed. It made me even more interested in acquiring a copy of American Beauty on LD which also has a score by Thomas Newman.

Hi mlcsmith,
That's a great idea you have of passing on the love of LD to a new generation, the members of which weren't among us to appreciate it the first time around! Keep the dream alive through the "munchkins" in your life! Unfortunately, I don't have any kids to pass the hobby along to.
One of the most recent discs I watched the other night was the Hong Kong release of "The Shadow Men". It's a very obscure alien abduction film with Eric Roberts, Sherilyn Fenn, and the venerable Dean Stockwell in a nice performance as a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist. Sherilyn Fenn's name was even prominently misspelled on the jacket! It was certainly no Academy Award winner, but it was fairly entertaining in a mindless sort of way. I think it came out shortly after "Men in Black", and it was obviously strongly inspired by this popular film. The title characters, sinister government agents who turn out to be hybrid aliens, are MIB clones, right down to the black suits, hats, and sunglasses! I was fortunate enough to score a copy of this rare HK only release with a near-mint disc and jacket. I thought I did pretty well, considering that I'll probably never see another copy of it!

My LD player broke but I got some VHS's I watched. Police Story Project A My Lucky Stars Morons from Outer Space (yes, I know three of them are Jackie Chan films) Good thing is I only paid $10 postage for all of these. That seems like a bargain as my last postage of 12 LD's from the US was $150!
