Ok, I'm strolling through Wal-Mart and find these giant bins filled with dvd's and cd's for five dollars apiece!
After about thirty minutes and feeling like I'd been excavating for ancient egyptian ruins, I got 2 dvd's and 2 cd's.
Giddy as a schoolgirl, I rush home to play Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds. Yes, I know, but I kinda dig it. To my dismay, not only is the lousy quality magnified by my 60" LED, but it is PAN-AND-SCAN! :facepalm Eject quick.
At least I snagged The Boondock Saints. Make sure it is letterboxed on the back of the case and pop it into the player. Now this one isn't anamorphic, so I have HUGE black borders on all sides of my screen. :cry
On to my music to calm me down. Genesis. Greatest hits, but I saw ABACAB on there. So it turns out that it is a castrated version of the song! The whole reason I like ABACAB is because the song lasts for what? An hour at least? :angry
The last cd was Ozzy in Rio I think. Mainly bought it because I like Zakk Wylde. Turns out it was a bunch of older slow songs. Boo-hiss.
So if you think you've hit the mother lode at the 5 dollar bin, make sure you know what you're getting. :lol
