New addiction?

Am I ripe for a new addiction? I feel the itch. Those DVD's are very tempting. Last week, desperate to use some gift certificates that were about to expire, I went into Israel's biggest bookstore chain and bought a triple set of "Star Wars." Three movies! OK, I admit that I was never a great fan, but it seemed the best way to use up those certificates.

What I'm really drooling for is a bunch of musicals, old classic musicals, like "Brigadoon" and "The Five Pennies," or even "Showboat."

So I excitedly read the NY Times article about what's newly "burnt" onto DVD's, to see if I could be tempted further. It's sort of a good news/bad news. Good news for my pocket and bad news for my soul.
