Black Friday Baby! Better known as Ugly Shopper Day!

Man I love the madness that is Black Friday.

If you ever want to sample a glimpse of what the apocalypse in America will look like, all you need to do is venture out among the masses that rise before the sun once a year to push, pull and scream their way through discount shopping.

Also, next to a state fair, this is the largest gathering of ugly people in one place. And mass retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy know how to dangle cheap carrots in front of the consumer's faces.

Check out this woman with the white jacket and black sweats (the walmart shopper choice in dress sweats): "Haw, haw, toys fall down, go boom. It Funny."
This is a Target...and the end of a long line at the back of the store waiting to check out!

New DVD Releases for August 18th, 2009

Again, it's largely TV that will get any potential buyers to the store this week. You can get Dexter Season 3, Gossip Girl Season 2, the Hannah Montana movie, Sons of Anarchy and the week's highlight: the Simpson's Season 12 box set in deluxe Jeff Albertson packaging.

New movie releases are the (supposedly great) documentary on Mike Tyson and the (supposedly fucking terrible) Last House On The Left remake.

Catalog highlights are Last Starfighter Deluxe edition and a 3 disc set of Versus, the best Ninja Vs Zombies filtered through the Matrix film ever made.

DVD & Blu-Ray Releases for Tuesday July 21st

Some good stuff here; Watchmen of course, which was hardly the revelation anyone hoped for but not nearly the tragedy it would have been in other hands, either. An additional 20+ minutes of footage will no doubt mean a lot to those that care and pass by like the wind for those who do not. Still we'll take it, even with foreknowledge of a larger set at the holidays. Hopefully this time WB will have the download thru iTunes instead of the same incompatible internal service that the Black Freighter utilized. But we doubt it.

Coraline makes it's home video debut, which means many more will finally see it.

Global Metal explores the effect of Heavy Metal in the east. It's been done before..

Mighty Boosh, the acclaimed UK sitcom that stars wonderful people, but I find unfunny, makes it's US debut - both seasons!

The "missing" Prison Break "movie" debuts this week on DVd and Blu-Ray, although we couldn't confirm the BR disc - they are advertising it.

Robot Chicken's "Empire Strikes Back" episode come to DVD with loads of extras, including 15 additional minutes of footage, but will still feel slight to most buyers. That 15 minutes of extra footage involves more work than you do in a year, pal.

Finally, aging Ska-fans (aren't they all dead?) can relive their favorite skanking moments with the Reel Big Fish Live DVD.
