Bookstore Bonanza #2

Last Friday was the first opportunity I've had to get out and do something fun in what feels like month's. Since I'm a rather boring person, "fun" meant hitting up the bookstore, two thrift stores, and Walgreen's (I was looking for something that was supposed to be carried there, but apparently isn't in this part of the country). Today's post will cover the bookstore portion of that trip.

In case anyone missed the first post in this bookstore series, you can check it out here to see what's what. For anyone that did read the first one, you shouldn't be too surprised to hear that this will be another all VHS post. So if that's not something you're interested in, I won't be offended if you decide to skip this one.


This is one of those movies that I have been meaning to see for like twenty years now, but just hadn't ever gotten around to it.


 I have seen Farewell, My Lovely a few times, but I had yet to see the second (and final) of Robert Mitchum's Philip Marlowe pictures.


 I can't remember if I ever saw this picture or not, I guess I'll find out once I start watching it.


 Had never heard of this 1986 TV movie before, should be good though.


It would've been physically (and mentally) impossible for me to have not bought this!


 Familiar with it, but haven't seen it.


Believe it or not, this is the first time that I can recall seeing this anywhere on video (or DVD). This is one of those movies that I identify with television, as it seems like there was a time when it was airing on TBS like every week for what seemed like years.


Never heard of this one before either, but I'm always up for an 80's romcom.

For anyone who may be interested, I will be covering the thrift store(s) portion of this outing sometime in the next couple of days, and as crazy as it sounds, there will actually be a couple of non-VHS related items... just a couple though.


Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.

  1. I'm usually a sucker for dystopian sci-fi, but I've never seen the Running Man. I'll have to watch it one day, just to see how accurately they predict 2019.

    1. In my mind, the reality show aspect of the movie is spot on.

  2. Dark City was one of the first DVDs I purchased. You can't go wrong with Darkwing Duck either.

    1. "You can't go wrong with Darkwing Duck" = words to live by!

    1. I remember the hype around it back when it was released, but it seems like I haven't heard much about it since.

  4. I saw The Running Man when it was first released. It's been three decades, but I think I enjoyed it.

    1. You enjoyed it so much the first time, you never needed to see it again ;)
