These are an interesting series of DVDs...they've got 5 to 10 short independent films on them. I think there's 8 to 10 of these out right now.
I just got Short 5 the other day from Half.com...it was really neat, the highlight was a semi-autobiographical film by and about Vin Diesel (the heavy gunner from Saving Private Ryan, one of the stockbrokers from Boiler Room, and the voice of The Iron Giant), although it also had some cool animated shorts and one hauntingly disturbing true-story film at the end.
It was loaded with extras - alternate audio tracks, alternate video tracks - the only thing I *didn't* like is that if you watch it from start to finish, it has (shudder) commercials. But it was very easy to blip past those, or to get up & grab a soda from the fridge during those times.
Does anyone else own any of the Short series? I've got a few GCs burning a hole in my virtual wallet, and I'd like others' opinions as to which one I should snag next.

My knob tastes funny.
