Can anyone stand another Colin Firth entry? No? Ah well...
I stopped by the video store today to rent Fever Pitch, a movie based on Nick Hornby's novel by the same name. I haven't actually seen it yet, but here's Mary's review:
Hey, I didn't need to hear any more than that.
I looked all over Tommy K's (this is the video store) and just could not find it. Now, this place organizes their videos very strangely. Of course they have the regular categories like "Comedy," "Drama," "Horror," and "Romance," but then they also have these unexpected categories like "SNL Alumni" (where you'll find everything from the Blues Brothers to Wayne's World), and "Gwyneth Paltrow," where you'll find, well, movies starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Anyway, I searched for Fever Pitch for quite awhile but couldn't find it. (I couldn't even figure out what category it would fall under, since they don't seem to have a Colin Firth category.)
Then I got frustrated and I looked in the previously viewed videos for sale, because they at least were in alphabetical order by title. And there it was! Then I knew they had it for rent somewhere in that store, so I went up to ask.
No. It turns out, the previously viewed copy for sale is the only copy they have. I have never heard of a video store selling off their last copy of a movie in the previously viewed videos. Isn't that odd?
So you know what I did, right? Of course. I bought it. And instead of being $9.95 as marked, it was only $4.95, because the cashier was nice enough to give me the half-price sale that actually starts tomorrow. That's the best $5 I've spent all week, I guarantee.
And now I should apologize to all those other CF fans in Hamden, for buying the only copy of Fever Pitch Tommy K's owned. I would have rented it if I'd had the chance. I've noticed you can pick up a copy over on Half.com, if you're desperate...

Fever Pitch isn't great, but it's uninterrupted Colin Firth if you need a fix.
