Entry: This Little Girl Went VCD Shopping Again Friday, August 17, 2007



I just could not help myself. There I was in front of the mall knowing that right inside, on the 3rd floor, I could have the chance to own another Johnny Depp movie (which I'm trying to collect).

I had no choice but to go inside or else I'll be dealing with my own "What-Ifs". That would be quite hard on my soul. I really did not want to go inside. The mall's having its annual sale (with items that's supposed to have really huge discounts) but I really don't think they're that discounted.

I did not look anywhere else but the path straight right to the 3rd floor. I did not want to see any other item or I might want to buy something else when I'm saving up most of my money for those braces. Oh well. But I know that those movies just could not wait, movie junkie that I am.

I was disappointed. The VCDs were not on sale! Gaaah! Why? Why? Why?

But I felt like I needed to buy a VCD. So I scoured through the collection and found three interesting ones. One classic - An Affair to Remember. One pretty mushy - Message in A Bottle. And one quite so unknown - Platoon. I bought the first one because it was a classic and I wanted to know why it has been so popular. The second one was because I cried loads when I was reading the book. And the third one simply because Johnny Depp was there (though he was not a main character. Who cared?!).

So now, aside from those movies I just bought, I still have other movies to watch: The Sea Is Watching, Casablanca, Haunted Doll 2, Happy Times, Try Seventeen, Romeo + Juliet, Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, and Coyote Ugly. Some of that whole lot I've already watched but I just want to watch them again.

There. I'll probably be busy watching all of these this weekend.

Oh. I almost forgot. I still have another one to watch. I also did buy a VCD for my son. A Barney VCD so I guess I'll have to watch that one with him. Oh you know. Parental guidance. Wink

Platoon is an Oscar-winning movie! I think it bagged the best picture award back in the 80s. Check it out at IMDB.

inkblots, I think you're right. It was a pretty okay movie and let's us all see the thoughts of a man who's fighting in a war. But I did have a hard time looking for Johnny Depp in the movie. Imagine, all the soldiers were wearing the same clothes and then they were all soiled and dirty... So there.
