I was at Pacmall by myself the other day, and had to kill some time. I had visited Canada Computers too many times in the last month so I didn’t want to go there, so I decided to waste some time shopping for DVDs. Did you know that they’re down to 8 for $20 now?? It’s almost retarded not to buy 8 because the next increment is 3 for $10. Did I mention that that price included cases?

So I shopped around. At that price, the difficulty isn’t finding a good deal, it’s finding 8 movies that you wanted to watch. After a few stores, I eventually bought 8:

• Hot Fuzz (on recommendations from Victor)
• Pan’s Labyrinth (on recommendations from Aaron)
• Knocked Up (on recommendations by ?? forgot who)
• Captivity (wanted to see, but wouldn’t pay for theatre)
• The Pursuit of Happyness [sic] (Pauline wanted to see this)
• Children of Men
• Letters from Iwo Jima (on recommendations from my friend Oscar)
• The Fountain (wanted to see this because it’s an Afronofsky film)

So that’s a lot of movies! I still have in my backlog:

• The Polar Express (Pauline wanted to see this)
• Munich (again a recommendation by my friend Oscar)
• Kung Fu Hustle (my DVD drives couldn’t read this, hopefully my new computer will have a better go at it)
• Love Actually (Pauline said it was a good movie so I bought it)

I think I’ll get around to all these movies by 2010. That will be my New Year’s Resolution next year.
