bleh'

I refuse to shop at Borders. The one here is disorganized and seems to hire people who don't know how to read.

My Borders was out of nearly everything by noon yesterday. I had wanted to pick up one of the James Bond sets, and they had zero of them. Lots of other popular sets gone, too.

But, with 40% off - - as their marketing predicted - - I couldn't leave emptyhanded ... and bought something I was interested in, but had no intention of purchasing when I walked in the store (the fantastic TV series Firefly).

Oh well, a $50 set for $30. Not bad.

We got Vol. 3 of the James Bond set and a set of Preston Sturges. I'm debating whether or not to go back for the Wim Wenders or John Waters sets.

Heheh, Vol. 3 of Bond is the best one (with all of the films in the set being good), which I'd already purchased at full price. Now I was going for one of the others, which contain a mix of good ones and crap ones. But for 40% off, I figured I'd just be paying full price for the good ones, which I'm perfectly willing to do.

Silly Symphonies Part II is now mine, mine MINE!

Now if I could find Part I and not get stuck for a huge wad O cash :(

I'm really happy about the Preston Sturges set! Now, if I had more time...... And, the Bond set is the only one I probably would buy. The rest have too much crap in them.

Other temptations include A Cary Grant set, a decent Hitchcock set, A Kubrick set and the two Chris mentioned. However, I'll let him choose the next two if we go to get more tonight.

fyi - Target had the Firefly series for $19.99. I bought it for my friend who has only seen 'Serenity' and not the series.

I've been duped!!!!

But the one they're selling at Target has 2.3 seconds cut from the opening credits sequence and has a relooped score in episode 3.

Heheh, I would have spent much more DVD money at Target, overall. They have the best prices on DVDs, and I am an addict. I try not to go in there.

As it was, I went into Borders for Bond, and walked out with something I didn't intend on buying when I walked in. DVDs are my junk, and I need an intervention or something. Netflix has stemmed the tide somewhat, but I really have to stop buying all these movies that I'll maybe watch twice before I die.
