On Tuesday, "Pirates Of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" sold 5 million units, quickly becoming the #1 selling home video of all the time. Amazon.com has "Pirates" listed at $19.99. Let's suppose that you decided to spend your money on more worthwhile entertainment. Let me suggest a few options:
1. Cinema Paradiso DVD - Ok, so the new 2-disc special edition may be $2 more than "Pirates", but Giuseppe Tornatore's love song to the cinema is worth every cent. If this film doesn't move you, you're in bad shape.
2. Sleepy Hollow DVD - For half the price, you can own Tim Burton's gothic masterpiece, starring Johnny Depp in one of his best performances. Masterfully photographed by Emmanuel Lubezki, this is Burton at the top of his game.
3. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Book - Or what better time to read the Harry Potter novels? Come on, people, this is much better fantasy than "Dead Man's Chest"!

Even watching water drip might qualify as being more worthwhile... LOL

Wait, a new 2-disc SE of "Cinema Paradiso"? Different from the Director's Cut DVD I bought a few years ago? This time with new documentaries?
*Slaps forehead*
Doh! Why me, oh why me?
*Very disgruntled-ly, goes to add "new" DVD set to Amazon.com wishlist*
Grrr.
