Das Capital Marx Collexion

First year of uni. is done! I haven't got my results back yet, though. Soon they shall come to me. Soon. Ooh, yeah!

This is not much of a post so far, I know, but then this is not much of a world. People kill people, tear down too many trees, blah, blah, blah. I get sick of the crap sometimes, humans' sickness crap.

Anyway, I picked up this little beauty at a second-hand shop on Saturday: "The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection". It's at least AUD$80.00 new but I purchased this for a mere AUD$29.00! It was the most desired DVD(s) by me so I was quite ecstatic to obtain it so cheap; or, indeed, to find it for sale in any shop at all, for it is an import from U.S.A., having not been released here, which no doubt it never shall be. I thought I'd be waiting a while yet before being able to order it in, due to the price. But Fortune smiled.

For anyone interested, it contains the Bros.' first five movies (excluding Humorisk, which was a short silent flick that was made first but never released - late in life, Groucho offered $$$s if a copy could be procured but, alas, it is still currently a 'lost' film). The six-disc set contains The Cocoanuts (1929), Animal Crackers (1930), Monkey Business (1931), Horse Feathers (1932) and Duck Soup (1933), plus a disc of bonus materials containing three interviews - one with Harpo, one with Groucho, and one with Harpo's son, Bill.

Sometimes fellows like the Marx Brothers make more sense to me than most anything else in this world. Honestly.

Also, they make me laugh lots.
