Hoppy, skippy, jumpy?
Nov. 7th, 2009 02:34 amSo I did my usual thing at Wal-Mart today and tried to keep my shopping expenses down if I'm going to Johnson City this coming weekend. And so while I was walking around looking I saw something that caught my eye. Several movie three packs, each for $15. So I scanned the boxed just to see what they had not that I was interested. As I was turning away one movie on one of the packs caught my eye.
Stardust!. Now I can hear you all say "But you already have that on DVD!"
True but there was a scratch at a certain part of the movie and when it would reach it it would flutter, skip and jump to the next scene. Which I found so annoying that I would have to stop the movie, take it out of my DVD-Rom, clean it, put it back into the DVD-Rom, wait for the disc to start up again, wait for the menu to appear, then go to scene selection, then fuss with the meter just a tad to the section of the movie where it started skipping in the first place!
So you see why I bought the three movie set just to get that one? Now I could've gotten it separately and for cheaper before then but then it would have been in full frame. I HATE full frame. I avoid buying it if at all possible. Needless to say I whine like a mule whenever I watch NBC because I'm alway missing the sides of the show when I watch them (and that bites especially when I comes to Heroes.
I have no interest in seeing" Harriet the Spy or "Hotel for Dogs" (the other two movie in the set) I'd toss them away but who knows for whatever reason I might be bored out of my skull enough to watch them someday.
Also I'm going back to work Monday but it's only part-time and only one day a week for 6 and a half hours,which will allow me to still be able to draw unemployment. Providing he (Bob the boss) calls me at all. Hey something is better than nothing!
