Job done.

I saw this in HMV the other day.
It’s a New Moon Limited Edition Memory Box and it retails at £99.99.
Here’s the blurb:
This highly exclusive presentation box is beautifully finished in luxurious PU black leather with gold foil text and scrolling and a red velveteen inner with mirror. It has plenty of space to store all your treasured Twilight Saga possessions and also doubles up as a great vanity case. You can take it with you or keep it in pride of place at home.
Each exclusively numbered case contains your very own copy of the The Twilight Saga: New Moon 2 Disc Edition, packed full of extras. With only 5,000 in existence (exclusive to the UK) it’s a must have for any Twilight fan.
Unfortunately, what they’ve failed to mention is that it’s actually a tacky piece of crap with a £7 DVD inside.
Hitchcock wasn’t standing for your ‘we’ve only missed five minutes’ bullshit.
Fifty years have come and gone since the release of Psycho (‘it seems like only yesterday’) so the BFI have decided to do a cheeky digital re-issue, along with a programme of movies that influenced or were influenced by Hitchcock’s seminal slasher.
You don’t need me to review Psycho for you.
That said, the digital transfer looks great so if you’ve got a good digital screen nearby, you’d be some sort of idiotic cunt not to go along and check it out.
Also: The BFI programme is unexpectedly diverse, fitting in the campy 1983 sequel and Gus Van Sant’s underrated remake alongside more worthy choices like M and L’Avventura. Worth a look.
