So I go to Blockbuster last night. And nothing really trips my trigger, except I want to see Count of Monte Christo. I lived in BFE when it came out, so I never got the chance to see it. No DVDs, no video tapes.
So I head up to the counter and ask one of the Blockbuster girls if they have any. Without looking around, she says, "No, and it sucks. Read the book." Then she proceeds to mumble something about Panic Room for some reason.
"Panic Room?" says I. "Not bad, but the ending was ludicrous." So she gives me a look with one eye, which prompts me to continue, "And I read Count of Monte Christo in high school."
She kinda rolls her eyes, rings up my previously-owned DVD, and mumbles something about returning it in 30 days.
Yeesh!
