Happy Quantum of Sausage Day!

I guess that rumor about Borders cutting their dvd stock back wasn't a rumor after all. The entire section is marked with red stickers to indicate 30% Off on every type of disc they sell. If you're paying careful attention or spend a lot of time in Borders, it's easy to notice discs that don't "move" frequently are marked down over big sellers.

This is not without its perks, all things considered. I was able to pick up The General, Darkman, Commando, Cat O' Nine Tails, and the original House of Wax and The Mummy for greatly reduced prices. It helps if you stick to the cheaper stuff anyway, but it is a good chance to get boxed sets and discs that might be just a little too pricey for cheaper.

Like Teen Wolf and Teen Wolf Too. Or, say, View to a Kill. For example.

How would all attendees of "Bad Movie Night" like to leave with their own copy of a trash classic that didn't make the cut? You wouldn't? Too bad!


If this sale keeps going, you might all get something different and equally craptacular to take home for your own "Bad Movie Night".

"Say, Cap'n..."

Yes, blogorium audience?

"Could you maybe scrounge up a little-seen tv special to really demonstrate how bad it can get on your so-called Bad Movie Night?"

You mean, one not starring Paul Lynde?

"Preferrably not that one. I mean something that really makes us hate our lives."

Can do, reader-inos!

Short Circuit has no right to look as good as it does on Blu Ray. It only confounds me even more, because clearly somebody spent time cleaning the print up and making this movie look as good - probably better - than it ever has.

The disc looks so good you can even make out the bad makeup job on Fisher Stevens to pretend he's playing an Indian.

And yet, The African Queen still isn't even on dvd. There is no justice in this world.

If you'll excuse me, I need to watch Vertigo. It's possible I'm only supposed to watch Vertigo but everyone needs to watch Vertigo, the movie so nice I mentioned it thrice. In two sentences.
