If it's crap... We'll tell you

What's the longest time you have spent in a video store looking for the right movie to watch?


I ask that question because this happened to me several years ago. I remember walking into the local video store at about six p.m. to try to get a copy of Romeo is Bleeding (best Lena Olin scene ever) and I couldn't find it, so I looked for something just as fun to watch. The next thing you know, I walk out of the store with my two DVDs and two hours have gone by. I could've watched one of those movies in that time span. Anybody else have a similar story.

You know with more television video on demand technologies rising up, these video store stories will soon become a thing of the past, the same way VHS has disappered. Kids will say, "What's a video store?" and "How come you just didn't push the remote control button and order the movie like we do now?'

isn't weird how searching for a movie in a video store can take just as long as actually watching the movie.

Gnat, bet you get tired of seeing all those stacks of dvds. At least with VHS phased out, no more rewinding tapes.

Well, I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was a bit slow in some parts and it's the typical feel good film. There was nothing really surprising here (including the dialogue) and if I didn't know it was based on a true story it could have seem...
