I gotta get my priorities straight.

I used to be all over the stuff coming out on laserdisc and DVD and CD. A widescreen transfer of GOLDFINGER on laserdisc? How many William Castle movies are available on DVD? Can you get the mono mix of THE NOTORIOUS BYRD BROTHERS by The Byrds on CD? It was all a big fat piece of cake. And it mattered.

Nowdays, I'm not so well-versed. Or up-to-date. Or whatever. Or maybe it's that I got to much reality impacting around here these days. Who knows.

It turns out that one of my all-time favorite movies, BEDAZZLED -- the 1967 Peter Cook/Dudley Moore one, not that sorry lame putrid remake thing -- has been out on DVD since April. And I had no idea.

Of course, to most people out there, it's no big deal. So what? Go order one and shut up. But us collector-loser-freaks, we want it right away, or at the very least we want to know the damn thing is coming out. Guess it's all part of wanting to be an Expert. It's required to earn your Geek merit badge.

So, anyway, BEDAZZLED is out. It's one of the funniest movies ever made. It's got Dudley Moore in a nun outfit jumping on a trampoline. It's got a great score (by Moore). And it's got that hip, mod 1967 Technicolor Panavision thing in spades, courtesy of director Stanley Donen.

Oh, and it's got Raquel Welch (as Lust) go-go dancing while Moore, still in his nun get-up, gets drunk. And ain't that why the motion picture was invented in the first place?
