I just (mildly) embarrassed myself at the supermarket. Only a little.

Here is am excerpt of the escapade:

I went to Morrisons with the intention of buying a 2-pack of peshwari naans for my £2 curry-in-a-micro-box dinner. The 2-pack costs £1.75.

Upon entering; I saw a DVD bargain box (everything in it, £2!!!) next to the checkout; I then made this noise:

You know when you see another family member or friends toddler walk into something, or fall over? You go: *deep-loud-hearable-inhale* "HuuuH" *silent exhale* in shock?

I made this noise when I saw said DVD box; an old lady turned around and looked at me with a grimace that said "the fuck is he on?", and then slowly turned away shaking her head, as if to say "what is it with kids. Pff."

And the rest of the people in line for that checkout. Anyways.

I couldn't even delve to half-depth in this bargain box; but here's what I picked up:

The latest (brilliantly terrible) Rambo: WITH HIS PROPELLOR. Nuff said.

"The Debt"; in 1964, Mossad agents captured a Nazi war-criminal; however, said Nazi escaped, so they fake his death and return to their country as heroes. 30 years later, the war criminal returns wanting to confess his sins. They must assassinate him to preserve their lives built upon this lie, as well as the country's history. For £2, wht not?!

"Alexander: Directors Cut" With Colin Farrel, Angelina Jolie AND Anthony Hopkins in it; it must have been high budget and should be at least worth a watch for the special effects alone. Anthony Hopkins is Anthony Hopkins, right?!

"Solomon Kane" Looks like an awful film with some decent fight scenes and action; hopefully a laugh-worthy plot and depth-less characters included!

"Vantage Point" An (these days) old "classic"; a decent drama about the story of the Presidents assassination from 8 different viewpoints. With the story slowly unfolding, the tension building, the picture becomes clear, and then it has a twist right at the end? That's what I recall from watching it as a kid; but with Dennis Quad and Sigourney Weaver (to name a few) in it; I imagine it will be entertaining/dramatic enough.

"Piranha 3D" Need I say more? Surely a terrible film, with rofl worthy acting; bikini's galore and a (hopefully) retarded plot. High hopes for this one.

"Crank" (first one); a staple terrible Statham movie; seen the second, hoping for more of the same with the first.

and

"Prowl, the hunt is on"; what looks to be a horror movie in Piranha 3D's vain; retarded teenagers get lost in some abandoned wood factory in hick country and presumably die due to immense retardation.

All for £2 each!!! I feel my earlier squeal of shock/delight was justified. Scrambling through the bargain bin head deep, perhaps not.

Combined with assorted Pringles, Pepsi Max (it was £1 for a 2L bottle! HOW can you say no?!), Minstrels, Chocolate M&M's and Smarties Cookies (one must be prepared for upcoming movie nights); the sum total for my voyage came to £34.94

This was a short story about how £1.75 intentions got ruined by one, sole, DVD bargain bin.


Damn my temptation!
