Postcards from someone that hates you
From imdb:
Many people are willing to rent films online that they may be too embarrassed to rent in a video store, according to Amazon's U.K. website. According to Amazon.co.uk DVD Manager Matt Henderson, an examination of the website's Top 100 rental list reveals a number of films that one would not expect to find there. Topping the list was The Spice Girls' 1997 film Spice World. Henderson said in a statement, "We have found that DVD rental-by-post has created a new demand for toe-curling movies [that] have been on the shelves untouched for a long time, with potential customers too ashamed to rent them out." Amazon.co.uk released this Top 10 list of "unfashionable" movies: 1. Spice World (1997); 2. The Sound of Music (1965); 3. Annie (1982); 4. Bambi (1942); 5. Super Mario Bros (1993); 6. Barb Wire (1996); 7. Thunderbirds (2004); 8. Titanic (1997); 9. Hellboy (2004); 10. Gigli (2003).
It's so funny, I want to see a lot of these movies. Especially Spice Girls. I really wanted to when it came out but I was too embarrassed. The Spice Girls were totally out of style by the time the movie was out on dvd. So I skipped it. I had a spice girls poster that I kept for a long time though, until we needed it for a scavenger hunt in my dorm sophomore year. I still love the spice girls, I wish there were more girl bands out there, at least ones that I liked. I can't get into the rock girl band thing, they don't do anything for me at all.
Curious to see what you favorite site looked like 5 years ago? You can see a bunch of old sites, and all the times they have been changed. I really liked Alphaphi.org, I got to see them call my chapter a colony! That was so long ago.
Because blogging is all about linking to other sites you like, today's link will be to Kind of Crap, a capsule of Galvin Chow's time in Japan. Especially funny is the engrish part of the site whose links are now down, the first time I went there I laughed really hard. I guess check out engrish.com for those types of laughs. Galvin is a friend of my brother's through Haverford College, and he seems pretty bright. My brother seems to think so anyway, he only hangs out with smart people. His blog's name is also one of my favorites. Anyway, Galvin is using our server for his blog, and he doesn't know it yet but we plan on making lots of money off of this in the near future. Hahahahahahaha!
