Sooooo, this past Saturday the Canadian Belle and I made a pit stop at the Goodwill in DeWitt, MI on our way home from my place of work (I had to run in there on my day off as I left my cell phone charger in my office. I kind of needed it ya know?)
Anywho, I thought I would check out the records and vhs to see if there were any hidden gems. Boy did I score on this outing! The Belle did too...she picked up three Peter, Paul & Mary lps (her collection of records is still in its' infancy but slowly and surely growing). Check out what I found...
9 VHS and 3 cassettes. For $16. Score.
Hey, thanks for stopping by to hang out. You're in the right spot for discussions about my favorite pop culture topics. Subjects may include vinyl, '70s sitcoms, cosmic super hero adventures, arena rock, conspiracy theories, thrift stores, '80s horror flicks, VHS culture, all things retro, lovely ladies, and the latest happenings in my world. So come on down the steps (watch your head), pass through the rec room, and pull up a bean bag...you're hanging in my "bedroom in the basement!" EST. 1979
Terminator!! Awesome find duder. Cool to see you join me in Predator 2 VHS ownership as well.
ReplyDeleteI scored a few VHS today myself: Dawn of the Dead (replacing my lost one), Blade Runner and Little Shop of Horrors.
I feel the original Terminator was made for the VHS format. The wavy lines mixed with the pulse-pounding music and action...that sums up '80s cinema right there.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you found some good stuff yourself. I have not seen Little Shop of Horrors in at least 20 years.
I was torn between the original and the director's cut of Blade Runner. The shop owner convinced me to stick with the original. All the tapes at this shop are $2.50. Usually I don't buy them but it was FCBD and they pulled some stuff special for me, so I felt compelled to pay them back somewhat. Watched Dawn of the Dead this morning...it looks so crappy/better compared to the Blu-Ray I have.
