DVD rambling

trinityvixenI was a good Browncoat yesterday and finally bought myself a copy of Serenity. I also picked up Stargate because it was criminally cheap ($6!) and I have still more monies on my gift cards. I'm going to return a copy of 28 Days Later because it turns out I do have the same copy (I thought maybe my mom had gotten me the super-duper version and I had the old one, but turns out this is not the case).
At least I have a receipt for this one. I can't return House of 1000 Corpses because it is apparently not sold by Best Buy any more on its own, and without a receipt, they won't touch it. I tried to then pawn it off at GameStop, and they were prepared to give me a whopping $1.50 for it. I may not want the movie, but I'll be damned if I sell it for less than the cost of a subway ride when Lord knows how much my mom paid for it. Maybe she'll find the receipt...
If not, anyone want to bribe me for it? I'm very susceptible to bribery.
It seems to me that it takes a particular lack of interest in a film to package a whole set of DVDs with the covers askew, as I found them at Best Buy yesterday. Stargate might not have been a hit film by any measure, but it's a respectable one, and it did spawn some wildly popular TV shows (or maybe they're just popular with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ivy03). Anyway, I like it.
There was a girl buying Serenity at Best Buy last night who was very picky about the copy she took. I smiled at her, she didn't see it, but I smiled. And what kind of video store carries neither Airplane! The 'Don't Call Me Shirley' Edition nor Kentucky Fried Movie when I want to buy them? Damn it, I should have bought UHF while I was there, too. Oh well, if book group gets out early tonight, I will run down to 86th with the DVD to return and use up the last $20 in credit I have.
