Best Buy is the Devil
Nov. 17th, 2003 04:51 pmAustria is a bad influence on me. No, really it is. Trust me on this one.
So after work I found myself across the street from my office at Best Buy. See, right away - this is a dangerous thing. I can usually avoid the Best Buy, especially since the little independent record store guys down the street are pretty good CD suppliers. I'm in there at luch at least once a week, like a freaking junky for the music. Something about a used bin just really appeals to me and I can sift and relax and then I own more music. And if I have to buy new - they always give me a discount. Cause they like me. And I like them. Sniff. I should go there tomorrow...
Anyway - Best Buy is dangerous for me mainly because of the DVDs. I have a problem with DVD buyage. I Must Own It is kinda the mantra. But I had to go there today, because I do not own the original Nightmare on Elm Street and that is an imbalance that must be corrected. Plus, research. I'm really not writing anything for the Save the Children or two stripes or Poland remix challenge and I actually mean that I am not writing - as in there will be no writage from me. But I'm wondering how the crossover would work if I wanted to watch it in my head, and I'm thinking I would want to stick with the original movie canon cause it only will work if it is absolutely terrifying and Freddy Krueger as he exists now, just ain't that scary. But back when I was nine, he was one of the scariest things going. Oh, and look! Johnny Depp. Awwww.
So I picked up NoES ($10 - Wheee!) and I had to actively restrain myself from snagging Nightbreed as well (but I waaaannntt ittt). Damned movie, sitting there all sexylike tempting me with David Cronenburg's Psycho-killer shrink and that priest-guy with the very strange and inconsistent storyline. I heart that movie. Irrationally even. I heart it like I heart Jack's Back - I just do.
So I get away from the Nightbreed temptation to see that Sleepaway Camp is now available in a boxed set! The movie that scarred my prepubescence and insured I would never, ever use a curling iron again in my life without a faintly squicky feeling!! I didn't buy it though, cause a QaF/Sleepover Camp crossover would just be ridiculous. I mean, lets be realistic here.
I then got the hell out of the store because there were boxed sets calling my name and begging me to buy them where I could have all the pristine source I could ever, ever want and my whole life I have wanted to vid you. Oh yes, I have. It was harrowing. I felt like Angel in a convent.
