What’s a Blockbuster?

by Frank Roche on September 1, 2007

BlockbusterWe went to Blockbuster last night. And I realized that I hadn’t been in a Blockbuster in over a year. I’m not sure I missed anything.

What did we get? Apacalypto, The Pursuit of Happyness, and The Departed. We felt a bad about giving Mel Gibson a cent, but Steve and I wanted to see a little historical death and destruction, so we threw caution to the wind and put more money in the pockets of a guy who always seems three sheets to the wind. Plus, Steve’s really into languages and says he plans to speak at least 15 languages in his life. You never know when a little Yucatec Maya language might come in handy, just in case we solve that silly space-time continuum.

    As much as I can’t stand Mel Gibson, I really, really like Apacalypto. It’s really good movie.

    I agree with Moni. Apocalypto was pretty darn good. As for folks in the performing arts who I wouldn’t want to rub shoulders with, there are too many to name. Case in point, I really liked The Pianist, but I wouldn’t want to send my spare cash to any pedophiles either.

    Howard, we watched Apocalypto yesterday…it was really excellent. I’m gald we got it. And you’re right, I guess I shouldn’t pick my movies based on the morality of the stars or directors, otherwise I’ll be only watching YouTube.
