The French Connection is shelved under foreign
I just tried to rent Speed at Blockbuster and they didn't have it. Your probably thinking, "Why would anyone want to see Speed?" making you like the guy behind the counter, who asked me the same thing. The correct answer to that question, by the way, is "Because that movie is great." Yes, it is. Even if you disagree, it should still be carried in Blockbuster. It's not an arty movie. It's not a little movie. It's not a good movie. It should be at Blockbuster.
This is a particularly bad Blockbuster, there are basically only new releases, nothing is really alphabetized, and there's a very vocal and socially awkward, learning/mentally disabled man who sometimes greets you at the door and will follow you half way around the aisles asking you if you need help even after you've said no. And, The 400 Blows is shelved in the action section. Because of the title?
On my way out, I saw a young man with this piercing that looked like an inch long toothpick was sticking out of his chin. He must never kiss anyone.

dude, i was watching "who wants to be a millionaire" the other day (don't ask, i'm on vacation) and one of the questions was about how fast the bus in "speed" had to be going to keep the bomb from going off. i was all "it's 50 mph you idiots! who doesn't know that?" but neither the woman nor her phone-a-friend knew the answer. (although her p-a-f said "i'm 90% sure it's 50 mph, but it might be 60," so the woman say "i'd going to go with him and say 60 mph." WHAT THE HELL!?) the point of this story is that: OF COURSE SPEED RULES! HOW COULD BLOCKBUSTER NOT CARRY IT?
