Title.

I took the title of my blog from my recent obsession with director Werner Herzog. His new documentary "Encounters at the End of the World" just got nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary, which it definitely deserves.

Last semester, I spent about 3 feverish weeks on eBay engaged in various bidding wars to try and get the Werner Herzog Master DVD collection for a certain price. I finally found one, and after carefully reading over shipping prices, I got it. Well, of course, I had forgot to notice WHERE it was shipping from, and it turned out to be Hong Kong. It came in the best packaging I have ever seen. So good I took pictures.

Yeah, it was wrapped in brown paper and tied with a string. The DVD's all worked fine, though several of the menu screens are not in English, and there is one random movie in there that is NOT a Werner Herzog film (it has a similar title to one he made though....someone got confused). Pretty sure it was all boot-leg, but it was shrink wrapped and looked legit! That's the story of how i got my sketchy copy of every Werner Herzog movie.
