thehefner | fun working at the video store

Ok. When a fat 50 year old man of some undetermined ethnicity comes into the video store and returns a DVD, I have no problem with that. Certainly no, that's the job. When said DVD is a copy of "Cum Belchers #12," that's gross and makes me uncomfortable, but that's the job and we have to deal with porno sometimes. When I open up said DVD to find, right next to the disk, a big wet sticky splotch in the corner, that is NOT COOL. DUDE. NOT. COOL.

I showed it to my supervisor John, who looked at it, then silently pulled out paper towels and windex, cleaned it off, and handed it back to me.

NOT. FRICKIN'. COOL. DUDE.

What is cool, however, is the show SCRUBS. Holy SHIT this show is amazing. It just wins on every level. It has dry wit, random humor, excellent and deep characters, great character development, and a plot! Yes! An overreaching plot! My god! I always suspected that John C. McGinley was my god (my first inkling was when I saw him hunt Ice-T for sport alongside Charles Dutton, F. Murray Abraham, Gary Busey, and Rutger Hauer), but now I have futher evidence. So far now it's McGinley and Wilford Brimley neck and neck. But don't count the Borgnine out just yet! Seriously, though. SCRUBS is awesome.

And THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY is also awesome. I put it on the store DVD player after we finished the first season of SCRUBS, and my God, that film is just brilliant. Even with the bad dubbing, false advertising (seriously, Blondie is only "The Good" by default!), and the fact that Blondie isn't really all that blond, it still kicks serious ass and holds a special place deep in the cockles of my heart.

EDIT: Look, I know I'm a snob. But seriously, who the hell in their right bloody minds would rent, or for God's sake BUY, a DVD in Full Screen? Why? Because they can't get over those two black bars? With full screen you get LESS movie and horrible pan and scan techniques that really haven't improved at all in the past 20+ years. Yet the video store recieves a couple more Full Screen DVDs over Widescreen for all the big titles coming out. I just don't bloody well get it.
