Ah, the wonders of crap!

camwynStopped at a new store entirely on the way home from work today: Dollar Video. Rental prices: $1 for a VHS tape, $2 for a new release, $2.50 for a DVD. You have to return it by closing time the next day. It's a grungy looking store and the tape boxes are all faded, but they're reasonably up to date.
Given my penchant for stuff that could probably be best described by Bart Simpson as "crap-tacular", this is an ideal store for me. Oh, sure, I'll have to go to Blockbuster for some things. I mean, the DVD selection is tiny, and that's how I prefer my crap, but even so. Means I can rent the version of Dungeons and Dragons that supposedly makes something vaguely like sense and not feel vaguely guilty about spending the price of a good magazine on it.
Tonight's rentals were Atlantis: The Lost Empire (not crap) and Kiss of the Dragon (reputedly crap). I have until 11 PM tomorrow night to give 'em back. This works for me. Assuming the rentals aren't cheap because the DVDs are of poor quality (they appear to be the actual studio releases, I'm just worried about overuse or scratches by prior customers), I'll be stopping off at $Video on a fairly regular basis, I think. At least until I run through their DVD collection, anyway.
