I remember when the weird British guy who worked there (we called him The Limey Bastard) and always wore old, falling apart Ramones shirts, came out with a copy of Yellowbeard and told me I had to watch it because it had most of the cast of Monty Python as well as Cheech & Chong. (This was circa 93-95-ish)
I saw so many great, obscure, bad movies from that place. Standing around talking about bad movies was such a pleasure. Now it's something I only do on internet forums, instead of in person.
I really miss talking about bad flicks in person with my video store guy.
Hope life is treating you well, wherever you are, you Limey Bastard.
