Matrix, Toys, Wasting Money

By On September 29, 2008 · 6 Comments · In Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas, Girls, LeBron James, Liking Things, Movies

As you guys well know, I like things.

All kinds of different things.

One of the things I like are DVDs, although being that they’re nearly obsolete now, and will be completely obsolete in five years, I refrain from buying them, except in special cases like tomorrow, with Iron Man.

Iron Man almost broke me on going Blu-Ray, which is another thing I’m trying not to do, since it too will be irrelevant sooner rather than later.

No matter what my position on round, flat video media, I’ve never even been tempted to purchase something like the monstrosity pictured here.

Can you imagine some girl coming over, and you’re like, “Hey, let’s do crack and then watch the Matrix.”

And then she’s like, “Cool, where’s the VHS tape?”

And you’re like, “Silly girl. I don’t use VHS tapes. The DVDs are right here in this spaceship.”

Slashfilm is calling this thing “Cool Stuff” – I’m declaring it, “Something I wouldn’t have even if I had a cracked out girlfriend who likes watching the Matrix on VHS.”

This is coming from someone who had, as the main fixture of his bedroom until age 14, the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier, which I believe was just under 17 feet long.

Oh, and just to remind you of my “problem” – picked up the below, which was on sale for $1.49 at the checkout.

Seriously, what am I gonna do with it? It has no use whatsoever. I’m not even sure I know what it is.

I leave for DAL tomorrow morning…and I’ve planned 25 stops along the way. I will never reveal what these are, and even I think maybe I’ve lost my mind this time.

    I bought the Family Guy Blue Harvest (Star Wars spoof)DVD the day it came out, only to find that the version I ordered came with a T-shirt, trading cards,and 3-D glasses for said cards. Occasionally people would come over and say:

    “Hey, let’s watch that Family Guy spoof of Star Wars.”

    “Sure,” I’d say, pulling out the box within a box within a box (really), spilling trading cards, paper glasses and a lame shirt on the floor.

    “Uhh, what’s with the cards, bro?” (backing away slowly toward the door)

    “Oh… they’re not really… I didn’t actually ask for… they came with the…”

    “You know what, that’s cool. I’ve gotta’ go anyway.” (racing for the door snickering).

    I finally threw the free swag away, along with the 14 boxes it came with.

    You could finish the drawing on the cover which probably includes LeBron’s shot hitting the back of the rim with me screaming “STOP TAKING 22 FOOT JUMP SHOTS”

    True story. I recorded my wife’s reconstructive knee surgery over my Matrix VHS.
