Re: Can you guys explain something to me?



Excuse me, Krusty, would you please repair my hamster?  It's allready 25
Nov 2003, and I have an important engagement in rec.sport.pro-wrestling: 

> What's the deal with "buying" dvds? 

I'll toss my monkey into the court and see how far it's poop flies.  
Checking out my DVD shelf, I don't own many.  I see the Lord of the 
Rings extended sets, I see a few Jackie Chan movies, I see Red Dwarf 
season 1 and 2, and the Black Adder complete collector's set.  Oh yeah, 
and Kung Pow.

Why did I buy them?  Well, the LotR sets just have TOO MUCH stuff for me 
to rent them and watch it all.  And they actually are movies that I 
enjoy watching when I have a free weekend.  As to the Jackie Chan 
movies... I think it's because when I get into a relaly big "watch 
Jackie Chan" mood, I am in no state to legally drive anywhere.

Red Dwarf season 1 and 2 is because they are some of my favorite TV, and 
again there is a ton of extras that I simply wouldn't get to on a 
rental.

Black Adder, the complete set of everything ever, I own because, like 
Red Dwarf, Black Adder is simply a huge pool of marking for me.  I think 
I've watched each of the 5 DVD's 10 or 15 times since I bought it.  
Wonderful stuff.

And Kung Pow.  Why?  Because everyone I talk to thinks it sucks.  Well, 
that is they IMAGINE it sucks, because they only saw the previews and 
then formed an opinion about the whole movie based on that.  So I tie 
them to a chair and force them to watch the whole movie.  By the end of 
it they are either driven insane, or they love the movie.

Oh yeah, and other than that I have some wrestling DVD's.  Hulk Still 
Rules is probably the only one of them still in rotation, though.

GC
thinks a lot of Krusty's arguments thus far could also be attributed to 
video games... and I ain't stopping that either.
