ANYWAY
Okay, just got back.
I am NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR participating in such fucktardery again in my life. First of all, everyone there was at least 15 years younger than me. Question - what was the exact year where everyone under 25 just gave up on combs and hairbrushes? Also, what's with that fucking haircut where you try to form a shark fin with your hair? Soaphorns were fun when I was five...and in a fucking bathtub. And if you wear your baseball hat skewed and pulled down over one ear, you need to be held down and have that ear cut off your head with a pair of dulled scissors.
What I'm trying to say here is that the faggotry was rampant.
They had pizza and generic sodas on a table. You know, shit like "Dr. Fizz" and "Mountain Lightning." I passed, because you had to pick up the slices with your hands, and who knew what kind of crabs and genital warts and dingleberries those unwashed lumps were digging at before they stuck their dickbeaters in those pizza boxes.
Then, they couldn't get the computers to recognize the DVDs that were going on sale on the 18th. So we all stood around like idiots for a long while. One guy in line was raving about Rob Zombie's Halloween, and another two were chattering excitedly about the sequel to Transformers. Others were talking about how great the Pirates movies were. I suddenly felt very ashamed for buying the Transformers HD DVD, because I helped set cinema back about five years with that purchase.
FINALLY they decided to just ring everything up under different SKUS and write it down to switch over later. When I get to the head of the line with my preorder slip, the girl looks at me and says "Oh, you had the HD one? I'm sorry, that was delayed..."
Only, it wasn't. I had seen it on the new release shelf when I walked in the door. I walked over and pointed at it at the same time she found the big stack sitting right in front of her. I think the guy behind me was about to freak out when she said that, because I heard his friend tell him to calm down.
I live about two blocks from the Moviestop. In better weather I can walk there if I feel like it. I left at five minutes to 12, and got back at 12:45. For a fucking HD DVD. Ugh. I feel so embarrassed.
Groo, I didn't get the suitcase thing, if that's what you were thinking. I just got the regular set. I didn't want to pay all that money for a matchbox car and some postcards inside a fake briefcase. The regular HD and Blu Ray sets are about the thickness of two single cases, and the same height. I don't think you need a picture - it's the same size as the Die Hard set.
Now I'm going to check out the picture quality.
