This morning I popped by Bay Street Video, here in Toronto, to grab a certain title. John Kenneth Muir reviewed a short-run indie television series I had not heard of: Dead of Night (1994 - 1997)
"Dead of Night" to me was the 1945 British supernatural horror anthology classic film, but after reading Mr Muir's positive post on the old US television series sharing the same name, I decided, on impulse power, to grab the Blu-ray set.
While at BSV, of course I was not going to leave with just one disc set in my arms, I explored more.
Black Zero's Fragile Systems would be a fine addition to my small library of titles from that Toronto-based label, and add I did. This Blu-ray disc is a compilation of the films of Canadian experimental filmmaker Christine Lucy Latimer.
This post isn't meant to impress anyone on how amazing my life is — I have no house on the Cornish coast, or the Bay of Fundy — but to shout-out the names:
Bay Street Video
Dead of Night: The Complete Series
Black Zero & Fragile Systems
Postscript: On Friday, April 17th, I posted a piece titled "Too Much Physical Media (a Sampling)", which proved me to be a liar whenever I claim, "I'm not a big collector of physical media". Well, I just added more evidence to the pile.
