Goodbye Hollywoood

I'm a movie freak to the tenth degree. I watch about two hundred a year. Everything from Who the #$% is Jackson Pollock to some B horror movie. Since I don't have a TV, Movies are my primary source of entertainment. (I decided not to own a TV due to a severe addiction to that evil boob tube, I developed at a young age. Basically tv is my crack, chronic, crank, cosmopolitan or whichever concoction you prefer. So I don't own a TV. Many people think that this is extremely odd but honestly I am not your average Joe, Dan or Dave.) Well I went to Hollywood Video to get my fix one Febuary Tuesday since Tuesday is new release day. I like walking around and absorbing all the future entertainment obtions. Well when I got to the check out counter with my two new movies (The Nines and Moving McAllister both of which I give two enthusiastic thumbs up.) The check out guy, Christopher, scanned my movies and said "By the way we are closing this store." Well were can I go to get my movies," I asked. "In Bristol we have a store," Christopher said. I said "That is a long drive just for movies." "I know. It sucks," Christopher said. Then I mentioned the B word. "I guess I can go back to Blockbuster." I said. "Maybe they won't go out of business. I thought you guys were doing awesome. I mean everytime I'm in here there are tons of people getting movies." "I know," Christopher said. "It is because of corporate management." I shook his hand goodbye thinking to myself. "DAmn that corporate management. I bet that CEO prick got a two million dollar McMAnsion with an indoor swimming pool and a hot tub, while poor Christopher is without a job.

Well pretty soon I will head over to Blockbuster to get my movie fix. I remember getting a zine by someone who worked there and he called it Cocksuckers instead of Blockbuster and went on and on about them sucking major league balls. Oh well, Cocksuckers it is. I need my fix and I ain't driving all the way to Bristol just to get it. I know from the commercial that they got a movie plan to hook me up for a monthly fee just like Hollywood.

Goodbye Hollywood Video. It was nice knowing you. Rest in Peace.
