We checked the mail last night and I got a package with my name on it... and Amazon's. I didn't remember ordering anything, and the timing made it somewhat suspicious... What with TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY and all.
I got me The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension! and Ghostbusters 1 & 2 (box set)!!!
And the best part, which I confirmed by playing the movies about ten seconds after I unwrapped them, is that they include the French track! (Well, except for Ghostbusters 2 that only has French subtitles, but English, Spanish and Portuguese tracks. I can't understand that.) I'm sure this makes a bunch of guys in Quebec quite jealous and rushing over to Amazon to buy them!
Ghostbusters, in French, is such a big part of my childhood. I can't wait to watch it again! And Buckaroo Banzai is this over-the-top movie I only saw a couple of times (in French, of course) while growing up and never been able to find since -- and I've been occasionally looking, too.
So I got two words this morning: Eric RULEZ!!!
Thanks man, you answered "what do you get the guy who doesn't really want anything" brilliantly. You da man!
And, of course, he's the man with a web comic: Zombies? Go read it. Now.
