Zombies, Baseball, and Osgood Perkins:
I'm home from Best Buy.
It turns out, the Widescreen unrated edition of Land of the Dead was actually $19.99, not $16.99 like it says online. Fuckers. The widescreen one was $2 more than the in-store full screen version, which was $1 more than it said online. Why on earth would they charge more for the widescreen version, if not to scam people with taste. How irritating!! Anyway, I argued them down by making a small scene... What? I'm poor.
I also bought The Bad Seed because it was $10.99. Good deal, no? I almost bought the orginal Salem's Lot miniseries for $10.99 as well. I just couldn't justify the expenditure though, especially since I already own 3 versions of that movie on VHS (that being the original miniseries, the VHS 112 minute edit, and the 2004 remake). It was a good deal though, that movie is fucking scary. The Bad Seed is another fave of mine. I have wanted to own it for a while now, my VHS copy of it being nearly unwatchable.
I almost bought Dead and Breakfast which has Osgood Perkins in it (the son of my movie hero Anthony Perkins). But since I hadn't seen it yet, I figured I'd better not. They also did not have the new documentary on HH Holmes. I'm dying to see that. Get it? Dying
Hahahahahahaa!!
Tonight is the last new ep of LOST for a few weeks, while we all endure the worlds series of baseball. I do enjoy baseball, at the baseball park. Something about the outside air and the funny drunks in the bleachers just says "America" to me. Plus the Tigers are not that good. There's something endearing about cheering for your home team even though you know deep down that they suck. I guess that's what all you Red Sox fans were talking about before, I just didn't know that existed outside of Detroit. Alan Trammel could be the worst coach in the history of baseball, I'll still love him because going to see him play at old Tiger Stadium with my family is one of my few happy memories of childhood. Of course back then, those Tigers were pretty good.

Salem's Lot was trimmed down to 112 minutes for the VHS release. It takes out a lot of the taking over of the town (the deputy, Eva Miller, Ned etc turning vampire), and more about the relationship between Ben and Susan and that of Boom Boom Bonny and her drunk loser hubby.

And before anyone lays into an anti-piracy rant, don't bother. The cast and crew get their cut up front. Anyone with a percentage is going to get plenty come distribution time one way or another. At least I'm paying the cost of rentals. Most folks with a high speed connection don't even bother with that. If the distributors really want to solve the problem, they'll stop selling those slim pieces of plastic for twenty bucks a pop. Five hundred percent profit isn't my idea of a fair markup.

That said, do let me know what you have in your collection that you'd like to sell. I'm interested in horror, anime and serious drama.
I actually haven't bought from Best Buy since Dawn of the Dead remake. I almost never buy DVD's new, I bought one harry Potter new, and sometimes I buy $10 sale stuff or 3/$25 used at Blockbuster.

I only wish I'd figured out how to rip a DVD before I dropped so much cash to begin with.
