While supplies last!

Often times I get confused by what passes for judgement when it comes to what is and isn't available on DVD. And the height of my confusion is reached whenever I get lists of titles which are being cut-out and deleted. Usually we are never given the heads up when things are going to be removed from circulation. One day we go to reorder something, and oh, that item is no longer available. Sometimes it's because a multi-disc gold-plated Leonard Maltin fancy schmancy enhanced version is just around the corner, and "they" would like you to purchase that version. And other times, there is no reason at all, besides the most likely reason being that a bunch of suits had replaced a bunch of other suits, and the new suits deemed these titles unnecessary. "Ya ain't pullin' yer weight kid. Ya gotta go". As luck would have it, this time around we got not only a fine list of titles being deleted, but we actually are "allowed" to purchase (non returnable, of course) these titles. Therefore, while supplies last, if you got a hankering for some fairly prestige DVD titles gettin' the heave-ho, I recommend you get thee to our store ASAP. "How much $$$"and "What titles?" you probably want to know. Prices pretty much stay around $10.00. Not super-cheap, but it doesn't take a Nostradamus to predict many of these titles will be selling on Amazon for waaaay more than that in the near future. As for titles, the list is quite extensive, but in a nutshell, these are all major studio DVD's, many of them deluxe editions. You won't find them at Walgreens, Target or the Jewels. All are Brand New and sealed. No cuts, marks or gashes. Here's a short list. If any of these titles hold any interest for you, please come on by. If you aren't familiar with some of these titles but curious, check out the Zachariah link and look 'em up yourself.
Blacula
Last Tango in Paris
Myra Breckinridge
Phantom of the Paradise
Fellini's Satyricon
One Million Years BC
Lord Love A Duck
Masque of the Red Death

Zachariah

and More More More!!!

John,

since Tim there does not have a contact address on your website, please tell him for me that he is an idiot. in his recent blog regarding Bradford Cox, he states that Mr. Cox made an album with Stars of the Lid this year. this is completely false. Bradford Cox has never had anything to do with Stars of the Lid or their music.

sincerely,

mr. kranky

Really? I'm supposed to tell someone they are an idiot for you? Probably not. I
will forward your email to him though, so in effect you will be telling him
yourself. You really come off sounding like a tool in your email, so I guess you
don't need any help selling records from us. Thats okay by me.

John

dictionary definition:
idiot
noun
1. an utterly foolish or senseless person.

making things up and posting them on the internet as 'fact'? it may
be harsh, but i think the term 'idiot' applies. sorry if i offended
your sensibilities...

john,

okay, now i'm an idiot. bruce adams hasn't worked here in ages and
had nothing to do with this message. i originally replied from our
mail server, where i guess his name is still attached to this account.

regards,

mr. kranky

Oh, just go away. I really couldn't care less who it was from. Asking me to pass
along an insult to one of my employees? What a weasly way to insult someone. You
could have asked for an email address, but decided it was best if I told Tim he
was an idiot (for you, of course). And then to quote the dictionary for me?
You've got the time to insult someone (second hand, of course) but no time to
update your email addresses? Seriously, please show these emails to any
uninvolved party, and get some feedback. I sure plan on it.


John Laurie - really me.

john,

and maybe you should be a little concerned that someone blogging with
your store's name attached could be so wildly wrong about something
that is so easily checked.

Whoa, five emails later and I get a real name. Not just some goofy-assed
nickname. Shouldn't you be more concerned about...oh, I don't know.
Punctuation? Proper email signatures? Not coming off as a tool to someone who
sell's your product? Pick one. Getting pissy about something someone writes on
their blog? Life's too short. Does the stick up your ass have a stick up it's
ass?
