I found something awesome in K-Mart

[Lancemc]

I was in the home entertainment section of this terrible dept. store just browsing the DVD boxes for something cool. There were soooo many terrible obscure, or downright bad movie in there, but most of them were cheap, so I persisted.

I did come across one gem, however. It was a Raising Arizona/Fargo Double feature DVD collection for 14 bucks. I can't describe how happy that made me. So I snatched that sucker right up along with Spiderman 2.1 and hit the road.

Successful day if I do say so myself.

 

[Zoots]

I read the title and thought "did you find U2 launching an album there?"

Sorry, that line is so 1997.

 

[Lancemc]

Pfft. Raising Arizona > Pop

 

[Zoots]

I liked Raising Arizona but it's been ages since I watched it. Anyway, good for you... value purchase!

 

[Lila64]

Pretty good price for the two. Except I would never shop there

 

[Lancemc]

I hate even stepping foot in there. But I was desperate.

 

[elevation2u]

These balloons blow up into funny shapes ?
not unless round is funny.

 

[Lancemc]

I love this movie.

 

[AtomicBono]

Pfft. Raising Arizona > Pop

Raising Arizona is brilliant though, as is Fargo. hella good deal

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

ahhhhhhhh....Kmart.........reminds me of Hawaii
We cleanedthe place out that night

 

[BluRmGrl]

"He's just a little angel, come down from Heaven!!!!"

Raising Arizona: x infinity!

There was a Lost in Translation / Broken Flowers DVD set for 10 bucks at Sam's I almost picked up, but Raising Arizona / Fargo wins.

I've seen that. Too bad Broken Flowers is so bad that it actually brings down the quality of LIT by association.

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

Pfft. Raising Arizona > Pop

Pop > Anything else.

 

[Lancemc]

If by Pop you mean Nicholas Cage running through a suburban town carrying a stolan pack of Huggies with stockings over his face...

Then yes, you're correct.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Is that Morgan Spurlock in your signature, Lance?

 

[VintagePunk]

Treasures in bargain bins.

 

[meegannie]

I didn't even know K-Mart still existed.

Broken Flowers = bad
Titanic = masterpiece

okay, you lost any movie credentials
how can you honestly say that Broken Flowers is bad?!?! It's certainly not my favorite Jarmusch movie but nonetheless is fantastic in its low key way. It's funny as fuck, quiet, stylistic and plain awesome. One of my favorite movies, I still remember how satisfied I left the theater on the day it came out. We drove across town to the independent cinema, got stuck in mad traffic and it was all worth it.

 

[Lancemc]

Even if we pretended this made sense...

...you're still acting like a snob.

You lose.

I'm farrr] from the only person who disliked that movie. In fact I've yet to meet a single person who actually has liked it.

 

[Lancemc]

Cameron actually.

But holy crap, it really does look like him though. Good call.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Hey someone mentioned Lost in Translation This thread is now about Mr. Bob Harlis

Lip my stockings.
Lip them!

 

[LMP]

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

 

[powerhour24]

Yeah I found that DVD set at Target for $9.99, awesome deal even better than used prices.

Hi, Lancemc, I'm jobob. I actually liked Broken Flowers. Nice to meet you.

Yet another reason for me to love Target.

and yes, Kmart still exists.

 

[powerhour24]

I for one also thoroughly enjoyed Broken Flowers, particularly Jeffery Wright's part.

 

[elevation2u]

i found each reencounter with the women very interesting , nobody really seemed any happier than him. j. wright's character was especially splendid as well, it had the right amount of odd humor.

 

[LMP]

I picked up Lost in Translation yesterday in a Buy 3, Get 1 Free used deal along with Almost Famous, Saving Private Ryan, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factor for only 22 bucks.

I call that a deal

 

[powerhour24]

Quite a deal, I'm still looking on ebay for the director's cut of Almost Famous.

 

[LMP]

I just got the run-of-the-mill DVD release, it was cheaper.

I hate that though, buying one DVD only to find out there's a ultra-super-mega-better edition out there.
