Hey…I didn’t get the email!
I’m with Kimberly on this one, I have The Beyond on Japanese LD, I have slews of Argento. ALL were big money items. I still have a few nifty items (the long version of Class Of Nuke ‘Em High, though I’m the only person that cares)…but a lot of Hong Kong LDs are cluttering my basement.
That said…I did see a lot of cool flicks back then, you could slip into Chinatown in Boston and go nuts every weekend.

Er… We decided to extend your vacation, David! Yeah, that’s it!

Kimberly, maybe sometime a Roundtable question will come up that will allow Gary to repeat his story about being a chimp at a Halloween party. It cracks me up every time I think about it.

D’oh! I’m afraid I don’t have DaveZ’s excuse. What always happens is, I think, “Hey, that’s a great question! I need to think about that.” Then five seconds later (it seems), it’s Friday already. {sigh} Sorry!!

I’m with Nathan about starting a site/blog to scratch an itch that nothing else online does. Other than that, I frequently have to make hard choices between drinking money and horror-stuff money.

The most drastic thing I did was visit the Profondo Rosso store in Rome.

My wife and I were on a bus tour of Europe and when we arrived in Rome I convinced her to split from the group and find Dario Argento’s store. She’s not a horror fan but she agreed and we walked from the Coliseum to the store (a couple of hours in the sun).

But it was worth it. I got some swag, met Luigi Cozzi and toured the basement “museum” which features props from Argento’s films.

We then walked all the way back and met our group at the Trevi fountain. An amazing day.

Thanks Kimberly! Sometimes you need to suffer to look good. Oh crap, I forgot about the chimp mask story.
Steve, I rented Boogeyman with that guy from 7th Heaven. Why, oh why to I make myself suffer…it was like “the Mummy” on welfare.

brainbug, that does, indeed, sound awesome. DEFINITELY something I’d do is I found myself in a similar sitch as you were in. I mean, how could you NOT have gone?!!

Big kudos to your wife for being such a good sport about though. Were she not, she could have made it a real ordeal for you. But she demonstrated lots of love for you & respect for your interests that day, which is majorly cool. Hold on to that one!
