Just popped over to the wonderful Play.com to order some ninja DVDs (not literally you understand, I was ordering ninja DVDs as in 'good' DVDs, top DVDs, brilliant DVDs, etc, not DVDs staring people in black suits doing forward rolls and hitting people with sticks shouting 'krid-aa!' and other such oriental battle cries, for little or no obviously apparent reason), and I thought I'd have a look in the Bargain section - all titles from £3.99, just wondered if Plays low prices could stretch to some bargains being found even in this area.
Now, there are 1345 in the category, so you'd think there has to be something worth having, right? WRONG, YOU PLOD!
Never before has so much un-utterable mush been placed in the same... erm, place.
We have everything from the interestingly named 'My Mother Frank', through to the even more interestingly named 'How to Kill Your Neighbours Dog', which I hope is not a documentary.
Then there is the almost certainly not scary 'Octopus 2' for all your horror fans out there, which leads me to believe that 'Octopus' must have made enough money to warrant a sequel, which not only defies the very laws of physics but also makes me very sad indeed.
Now, what DVD collection is complete without 'Seasonal Gardening with Linda Barker'? Personally I'd rather buy 'Watch Me Float' with the fat one from You've Been Framed. (Which, alas, is a fictional title I made up)
There is the very worryingly titled 'Inside the Osmonds' which conversely I really do hope is a documentary, or something is very wrong with the world and the quality continues with 'Leprechaun in Da Hood' which I can only assume is about a Leprechaun going about his gold stashing ways in da hood, bo pimping and fizzlin’ the nizzle, Cork style, ma shiz? I just can't see it myself.
Then we have the far-too-generic-to-mean-anything-to-anyone 'Kangaroo', which is almost worth buying, just to see if its anything like 'Octopus' and was a very misguided attempt to cast a Kangaroo in a horror setting. Alas, Kangaroo 2 was not available, so this was no runaway success like 'Octopus' was, clearly.
I finally lost the will to live once I arrived at 'Julio Iglesias, Live In Jerusalem'. Just the thought of watching it makes me feel dirty and wrong.
Anyway, point being, it just goes to show, no matter how cheap you get, there is some crap that even I wont buy. Have a look through, see if you can find something you'd actually buy from this section.
Oh, if anyone wants to buy Kangaroo and see if it is a horror film, please do.
