The Curse of The Bizarre Alien

Yee-haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Last sunday at Borders i FINALLY found a film i've desperatly been looking for called Island of Death . I saw the dvd for sale about a year 1/2 ago but passed on it .
Anyhow, i was looking thru the anime/foreign-etc. section and suddewnly thought about seeing how much the Napolean Dynamite dvd was/is . I turn around and BOOM!!! The "Horror" section is right there . I'm scanning and there sits a lone copy of IOD! I noticed the dvd was loose inside the box and mentioned it . The guy told me i could return it if there were any problems . Well, that night i get home and excitedly open up the case and AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! The dvd is in the WORST condition i've ever seen one in my life . I decided too try it out anyhow and see if i can watch it at least . The movie plays for about 36 minutes and then skips part of a chapter and pauses . I fast forwared and it worked but i decided too watch something else since i was bummed! About a week 1/2 before, i ordered the total Japanese cult flick Pinochio 964 that was just released on Unearthed Films . It came in last Monday but i decided too wait'll the next day so i could go picked up the new game Mercenaries(Xbox version) . I figured i'd take back my copy of Island of Death and see about getting a new one . Well, i take the bus up there and am pretty tired from waking up early( 11:30 by this time - i work til 1:00 in the morning!) . I get there and the guy i see there once in awhile( and is also very cool might i ad) helped me out . He ordered 2 copies of IOD just in case one was loose again . Happy, i went too the counter and the guy who is always snooty and indifferent too me was working it but then thankfully a nice young lady showed up and helped me . She handed me my P64 dvd and oh man was i sooooo HAPPY!
Unfortunatly, the warehouse/distributors(???) decided too jack up the price which was originally $14.99 too $19.99 . Luckily i had extra $$$ from some games i temporarily pawned the day before . I lucked out finding some change in my pocket too pay the tax on it and was ready too leave, when i saw the bus wayyyyyyyy down the street heading downtown .
I was happy too finally get P64 on dvd at last tho in my usual rotten modd( no thanks too missing the bus), so i stood there for over 20 min.s spitting at and yelling at cars going by .
Finally the bus shows up and i go sit in the back and tear open the cellophane too gaze upon my dvd . I nearly screamed when i opened it and the dvd was loose, and yep - totally scratched up and looing bad . I almost lost it right there!
About 10 minutes later i thought i was gonna get into a fight with this guy who freaked out and yelled at this guy sitting by me because his 3 year old daughter was hitting an empty pop bottle against a pole . Everything ended up a.o.k. and i told the guy too 'take it easy' . I didn't realized he was/is a little handicapped until i got off the bus .
Well, i went too EB Games at the downtown mall and turned on my sheilds as too defend myself against all the yuppie/suit & tie/trendy conformist clones and proceeded to go there .
I got Mercenaries and hung out for about 15 minutes joking with 2 of the guys working there and then left .
Long story short - I'm waiting for calls from Borders for my new copies of Island of Death and
Pinnochio 964 and my game was/is perfect! One of the coolest/funnest games i've played in awhile . I did try out my P64 dvd and so far it seems too work, but why settle with something screwy??? Besides that, i'm a total nerd/fan/collector of crazy flicks and anime so it just woundn't be right! Blahblah.blah.
I'm gonna play a little bit of Mercenaries in a few minutes while drinking coffee and then watch a flick . Dunno which one, mabe duh i dunno! The Bizarre Alien -Earth-
