5 venoms I got myself a treat today from Kmart... Five Deadly Venoms, one of the few that I saw in the theatre when I was living in Richmond.

A kung fu DVD (for $3!!) I love the Kmart discount bin... I'm going to treat myself to maybe a dozen more of these. I'd have bought this one for $20.

the DVD is *nothing* special, techwise... a direct video (fair quality) to DVD copy, but for three bucks, you can't go wrong. but back when I was 8 years old, this theater would have kung-fu Saturdays that I would go to with my brother, father, and Bill Brunot, a good friend of the family. (I think that's where my tradition of sneaking food into the theatre started too... PB&J, with a thermos of kool-aid, Dad and Bill snuck beer in.) There'd be a double shot of chop-socky... and then we'd all go goof off at Bill's house, usually playing ping pong or bumper pool. Back in the day... good times. I miss them a lot sometimes. Nostalgia is like that.

I saw Flying guillotine there, too, but I budgeted tightly, and honestly didn't have $3 extra to pick it up. (I prefer to do dealings in cash.) There were like 10 copies, so I think I'm safe. Next weekend, I'll grab a nice pile of them. heck, I think there were only 7 or so different ones. there. one of each will do fine for about $20. :)

I love having a dvd player in my laptop! watch bad movies, chat, and program in VB all at the same time!

*does the twist*

I really recommend picking it up.. I actually got those for $9.99 at walmart.. still too good to pass up and there are a bunch of those around Drunken Master, and The kid with the golden arm are ones to get out of those cheapo flicks.

Heh My family had an apartment there when I was in high school. Right on the end of town (or what WAS the end of town then) on Broad Street.

Well lessee we had our apartment from about 1987 until the 1990's. Then my parents moved their apartment to Bowling Green, VA.
