Bittersweet

The little movie rental store by my
parents house is finally shutting down.
They tried, but they just can't compete with the internet.
(Really, who can?)
Too bad, because they were a good little store.
I noticed this week when I stopped by
that they were selling ALL their movies!
Yikes!
That's like a casino deal for a gambling addict to me!

45 mintues later and I walked out with my wallet lighter
and my arms full of movies...mostly good ones.
(I say mostly because I also picked up some 'silly' ones for Don!)
Here's a sampling of the good ones I snagged:
Dear Frankie, The Visitor, Return To Me, Luther, God Grew Tired of Us,
Ghandi, The Fast Runner and also The Snow Walker.
All of these movies are just so good and at $3 a shot,
could you honestly expect a movie lover to refuse?

I didn't think so.

It's always so sad to see a long standing favourite store being shut down due to our crazy, always in a hurry convenience world. I am so guilty of closing that store down. Since we got PVR we have not set foot in a video rental store.
At least we can all take some comfort knowing that some of those movies have a good, loving home to go too.

Holy man!! Why didn't you get me any?! I can't believe I'm missing this...

Yah, it's probably better if I don't head over there myself. All those movies would probably look at me with all their sad eyes and I'd have to take them ALL home with me.

Oh man, I can't wait to watch Sahara like 10 times this year!

Ha ha! I love that movie, too, Don!
