Easy Video!

This past weekend, I discovered the last old style video store in anything resembling a close driving proximity. 'Easy Video' doesn't have much in the way of new releases, but they've got tons of ten-year-old candy. Today's article gives you the breakdown, plus a picture of a Bald Bull temporary tattoo. It's actually the first half of a two-part series - I picked up a movie while I was there, and it's BAD. 1.9 on IMDB level bad. Review coming tomorrow. Annihilation coming on Wednesday, which is pronounced 'Wedsday' by people with an inclination to skip syllables.

PS - big thanks to Mike for designing X-E's new toolbar, which you can see at the top of this page. Scroll up, it's really there. Mike's also been spending a lot of time making progress with the various archive-related mumbo jumbo necessary to make X-E flylikecomet, and it's greatly appreciated by both myself and the guy from The Crow who kept saying 'shit on me.'

Oh yeah- they were digital.

Yeah, I can confirm that Chewy Gobstoppers are still in production… at least the ones they ship to Canada. I buy at least a pack a week. The ones you should be concerned about are the Gobstoppers with the bubblegum in the centre or the "Red Hot" Gobstoppers… I haven’t seen either of those kinds for at least half-a-decade.

Ugh you do not want to try Orbitz. Imagine drinking suger water with gooey balls of wax slithering down your throat. I think they pulled the line cause they were so awful.

One thing I forgot to say about Chewy Gobstoppers… they changed the packaging about a year or so back, so the Gobstopper font is a lot more "funky". So I guess that package is a little long in the tooth.

Yes, I am pathetic enough to know how to tell if your Gobstoppers are safe to eat… Once Gobstoppers have been sitting around a while, and have been exposed to warmer temperatures, sometimes a bit of the outermost layer will melt, and you can see some of the next layer peeking through. If the colour of the outer layer is still solid, it’s probably still safe to suck…

All I can say about this article is that it makes me really disapointed that Blockbuster mostly cleared places like this out of the South Jersey area.

Incidentally, I second "Animalympics" for a review. I used to love that movie as a kid. It was strange, had cheesy 80s music montages, and wasn’t too badly animated – the kind of flick that’s right up Matt’s alley. : 0 )
