Right... and I just went to the back of my local Target's loading dock and found a shit load of new and unopened DVDs...

Last time one of my friends moved, we had the stuff we're ready to move to the u-haul near the elevator. When we came back for the 2nd load, one of the lamps and a book shelf went missing. Tell me something, if you found something in the hallway of your apt, and nobody's around, you instantly assume it's somebody's trash and it's yours for the taking? We have a word for that, it's call stealing.

In the trash room, next to a dumpster = fair game.

If the trash is housed in a separate room, someone had to make a cencerted effort to go out of their way to put the stuff in that room. If they were doing it so some random person in the hallway couldn't take their stuff, they should have thought it out more. Finders keepers.

OR a former DVDtalker on a 12 step program.

The first step is admitting your addiction.

Hm, that's better than I thought. At least 3-4 keepers in there.

There are at least a dozen good titles in there...you don't just find a copy of The Story of Adele H lying around that often.

Considering the spelling and lack of capitalization, I'd say you've got a lot of cheap bootlegs there.

That's the one that caught my attention too. I'd take that, L.A. Confidential, and Best in Show, and toss the rest. Maybe keep Snatch if I was in a generous mood.

This title just begs for a porn version.
Oddly enough, the porn version of Bend It Like Beckham is called Bend It Like Beckham.

You've got Snatch listed twice (once at the beginning and once at the end) . . . are there two copies?

No, one was the Guy Ritchie film, the other was a home movie of ChicagoDVD returning to the trash closet with a bag.

How many of you have gone and doublechecked your collections, just to be on the safe side...

What about the last title that follows the second snatch (home movie of ChicagoDVD snatching up the trash), namely, private parts. Could it be another home movie of ...)

So.....did they have inserts ?

Now, I dont know which titles are out, but have you checked the movies yet ? Maybe som J6P bought a lot of "cheap DVD´s" somewhere that said "EZ-D" on them ?? That would be reason enough to toss them in the trash
