A Simple Choice, Me Thinks

The other day I went into Half Priced Books to just to look around. I really didn't want to spend any money since I'm between jobs right now, but I ended up walking out having bought ten movies. Now, ten movies under any normal circumstance will run you from 100 to 200 bucks, and I didn't just buy a bunch of B horror movies.

Check this out: Rocky, The Urethra Chronicles, Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of The Jedi, Red Dawn, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Now those are some gems! Which begs the question: How much did I pay?

Five dollars!

Five dollars for ten classics! That's fifty cents a piece. How did I do it? This may be hard to stomach for some, but remember those bulky, black, plastic things that you had to rewind after you watched? Yeah, VHS, MMMMmmm... the satisfying tape hiss that is VHS. Now, you could buy Rocky for fifteen bucks on DVD, or you could dust off that bulky-ass VCR in your attic and enjoy the same movie for fifty cents.



A simple choice, Me thinks. ;)
