Well, this is one step closer to my dream Rifftrax (ok, new dream since the ST V with Mike and Kevin has been done).
GLITTER!!!

There is NO WAY I'm going to go into a video store to get this. Even I have a limit! I'm signed up with Netflix so I don't have to worry about that. Still, when I tried to rent Star Trek V from Netflix there was a wait on it. Being impatient, I deleted it from my queue and hit the local Hollywood Video so I could get my hands on a copy ASAP. I can safely say that if there's a wait on Crossroads, I'll just wait for Netflix to get it to me. There's no way I could walk into a video rental store, hand Crossroads to the cashier, and withstand their barrage of snide comments about my movie tastes. Knowing my luck, the person behind the counter would be some jerk I knew from high school who'd only be too happy to tell everyone I know that I rented Crossroads. I'd have to live with that memory for the rest of my life. That's just not something I'm prepared to do.

I watched and enjoyed "Crossroads" today. I don't care what Mike chooses next, even if it is "Fried Green Tomatoes." I'll be there for each and every one.

You have two options: 1) If the video rental people make snide comments, you can always say, "Well, let me introduce you to a little thing called....Rifftrax! I just happen to have these pamphlets here..." After fifteen minutes of this, they won't ever question your movie selections again. 2) If you don't want to make pamphlets, or are somehow ashamed of Mike (you TRAITOR), then you can just say "Huh, you're right. This is a stupid movie selection. Think I'll just watch TV tonight, save the money." Walk out. This'll work GREAT if their manager is within earshot.

Hmm, It doesn't look like such a bad movie to me...

OK. After being humiliated by MJ for being a wuss and not wanting to rent Crossroads, I caved and went to the video store last night to rent it. I had the worst experience with a clerk in my life. I got the 20 something drugged chick with an ill fitting black wig . Now I'm what you call a middle aged man. I tried to hide my rental by getting a copy of Samurai Fiction (great movie, btw). I was at the end of a long line, being Friday night and all. She swipes my card, processes the samurai movie, then comes to a dead halt, stares at the Crossroads DVD case, brings it closer to her face and says in a loud voice, "CROSSROADS!? I HATE Brittany Spears! She's a whore! Why are you renting this? Do you have a daughter or do you just like skanky girl flicks?" I was stunned. I couldn't say a thing. I froze. The other clerk was doing his best not to bust out laughing and I got all sorts of looks from the people in line from amusement, laughter to disgust. Adding to the humiliation I blush easily and turned a bright shade of pink. Thank you so much Mike! Thank you Disembodio! Thank you MJ! Humiliation is so good for the soul, I guess. I hope this rifftrax was worth it.

I would've happily torn her a new one. Wish I could've been there.

If I were a rich man I would hire someone to buy the this silly "MOVIE" for me, bypassing the embarrassment all-together. But, then again, If I were a rich man I would hire someone to show me how the HEDOUBLEHOCKEYSTICKS you download RiffTrax, to begin with.
Black and White all the way.

But, then again, If I were a rich man I would hire someone to show me how the HEDOUBLEHOCKEYSTICKS you download RiffTrax, to begin with. Black and White all the way. Just follow the directions on the website. They're pretty straightforward (I think). Assuming you're talking about black and white movies, you'll probably never see them on Rifftrax. One of the points of Rifftrax is to riff movies, usually modern ones, that normally a show like MST3K couldn't afford to do. I just can't see them doing any old black and white movies.

Ahh it's good for ya Dr. Z, experiences like that will put hair on your chest. That which does not kill you, makes you stronger, right?
You should have fr*cked with the folks in the store and said something loudly. like... "Hey I'm horny, do I judge what you whack off to?"
or something sick like that. Just screw with their minds, what do they matter anyway.
Oh, and then as I left I would have went, "ZZAA!" and got the last laugh.
Remember, it's fun when it's fun. (But then again, I'm an old starving rock star and we're used to audacious, rude behavior)

I agree Mighty Jack, I would have had fun with the situation...I would have said somthing like: "Man, she's GREAT! and I own all her cd's too! Don't you think she and K-Fed make a perfect couple? She's a good Christian woman!" But, thats the way I am...I also like having fun when telemarketers call. Like if they are selling magazines, I tell them I can't read or somthing crazy. Usualy the crazier the better
