are you kidding me?

so, by some strange series of events. im really, really happy right now. that isn't to say that I'm not normally happy, but just right now its mentionable. that is, the series of events that led to my being happy are kind of out of the ordinary, so I thought I would share them with you.

it all started when I was on my way back home today. I found out that the local video store by my house, which I go to when I am short on cash since blockbuster is friggin expensive, was having a sale to get rid of all their VHS tapes. ok fine, so you say. but I was driving fast, because they were selling them for 50 cents!

I was worried that when I got there, the shelves would be totally picked bare. boy! what a noob I was. I just sorted the 16 movies that I just got for the measly sum of $7.98, and I thought that I would give you in what I would call, order by favorite. I'll include some brief descriptions so that if you don't know one you can go rent it.

1. Being There- Peter Sellers and Shirly MacLaine in a f-cking hilarious movie about a strange character Chance, played by the outstanding Peter Sellers of course.

2. Wayne's World - 'nuff said

3. Highlander - booya! this classic from the 80's is a must have for sci-fi movie lovers

4. Raging Bull- Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, this is a great film, see "Directed by" and "starring", about a boxer in NYC.

5. The Truman Show - Jim Carrey circa Dumb and Dumber without the slapstick, but still funny and somewhat poignant.

6. Immortal Beloved - Starring Gary Oldman, like the Truman Show, a music movie in some sense (I always thought that the Truman Show had a really great score).

7. Goin' South- Jack Nicholas in a 1978 western/comedy with Mary Steenburgen, very interesting movie I think.

8. Stakeout - classic 80's comedy staring Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez.

9. Devils Advocate - NEO!

10. Highlander 2 -sean connery!

11. Mission Impossible

12. Mission Impossible 2

13. The Paper - it has some stars: michael keatonm, glenn close, marisa tomei, and I've never heard of it.

14. Vertigo - one of hitchcock's best.

15. Angkor:Cambodia Express - impulse buy...for 50 cents !!

so i guess there are 15. well, this got me to thinking...



i really do like VHS more than DVD, you know. all that crap about ... but now you can pick the chapters , and the clarity and sound is better... hooey. you never see a VHS skip, or be unreadable. and if it were you wouldn't have to turn off all the shit and start it back up and then try to find the same spot that the thing f-cked up at. and if you want to stop watching a dvd, you cant turn everything off and go away doing something else and then come back, turn it on, and expect it to start back up where you left it off. NO, that's too obviously way to convenient! so some f-cking as-hole comes and says, "boys, we need to make shit worse". jerkoff. do you remember friggin beta tapes? holy shit, now there was something. talk about pre-dating VHS. oh that reminds me. I asked the guy at the video store I was like, "wow man, i thought there wasn't going to be many movies left, so i guess nobody came by today to take advantage of all these , huh? " he goes "nah, i woulda bought some, but i dont have a VHS machine".

!!!!

A VHS MACHINE?? its called a VCR you friggin noob. holy crap...
