"Splurging" is US slang for "to spend money on something, especially a pure entertainment item".
I guess it's slang for something else in England...

haha And what would that be?

Would it be wrong to quote myself in my signature?

I can't believe I hadn't heard of that... or even seen it.
Yup. It's my favorite DB/Z/GT movie/special/etc, the third Dragon Ball one. I like all four DB movies more than most of the DBZ ones, even if they are just repackaged stories from the manga. And I also have a special place for the movie in my heart, as it was my first exposure to some of my favorite Dragon Ball characters - Tao Pai Pai, Bora and Upa, and of course (back on topic) Arale.
I've never had any exposure to the Dragonball Anime, just Z. For some reason, this makes me want to get it now. I guess I've been missing out.

You're missing out. Definitely give it a look.

Agreed. DB movies 2 and 3 are pretty good (though even less 'movie' than Z's with how short they are). I highly recommend locating a copy of Path to Power though. That one's my favorite DB/Z movie.

I'm gonna get the movie 3 pack, but there's two listed, is the more expensive one just a bonus art box?

One is $24.98 and the other is $29.98, I'm afraid of buying an edited version.

There's just two "versions" of the movie box set. One in slimpacks (cheaper) and one in regular DVD cases. Same movies, same everything else.

I'll just get the cheaper one then,

I'm getting the Lion's Gate Dragonball The Saga of Goku too, I wanna see what it's like.

Anyone remember that New Dr. Slump English trailer? What happened with that?

In a nation like Japan you have very little to no marijuana* use or stuff like peyotl* (Peyote), LSD, mushrooms* (chichinanacatl) which are part of life for many of the idiginous peoples of the world. It was mostly fear and a strong sense of superstition that motivated the Conquistadores of Mexico to ban these drugs. That is with the notable exception of LSD, a modern chemical which is very harmful. The drug is what I think of when I think of Dr.Slump. Lots of colors and bizzare images that would only make sense to a person who is tripping. Traditional drugs of the psychotropic variety are not as harmful and produce different effects. The effect of the more traditional drugs are more spiritual and with great effect to sensing Dios. The proud Mexica warriors did have brutal sacrifices in honor of the Gods (teotl) but this pales in comparison to modern times. You (The USA) may not offer sacrifices of human hearts to gods of the sun, war and other objects and phenomenon. YOu send your young men to die in a foreign country for a cause that is laughable in the lightest and a holucaust and a blood bath in the worst. Even the so called war on drugs is not founded on science any more than the Crusades were founded or the fear of the Conquistadores. So yeah , as you can tell I love Dr. Slump and all this will probably go over your head so...back to topic. I don't really like it and I think that it is a waste of precious time. We do not have much time left for such simple things as Dragonball or videogames. Forget I even said anything, I am probably rambling again.

Why are you always talking about marijuana?

Cool..despite your insane rant above this statement; however right after that sentence you say this:

Huh?! XD. Contradicting yourself much?
