Give Snake Plisken a good economical home
April 2nd, 2008
Isn’t it funny how you grow associations with things that technically you don’t have any real ownership over. You see it particularly with fan groups like for Star Trek or Star Wars, fans who feel a protective ownership about their beloved franchise.
So I suppose it shouldn’t be any great surprise when I see a movie for sale really cheap that it feels like it’s almost an outrage.
Take a film I really love: Escape from New York is a masterpiece. Someone the other day questioned its quality and it felt like they were calling my child ugly. I quickly leapt to its defence and offered up its virtues. Honestly it doesn’t matter what someone else may think even if they are wrong 
To add insult to injury though is that the DVD for Escape for New York is currently on sale as eight dollars something. Excuse me? That film is worth so much more! Transformers should not be running at twenty four dollars when Escape from New York is so cheap! Maybe I wouldn’t be so annoyed had I not already bought a copy (at a respectful twelve dollars at least) and not able to take advantage of such a dirt cheap price.
In our house we have a rule that we don’t pay over twenty dollars for a movie, box sets are a different story and actually Tracey’s highest value is remarkably lower than mine.
So if you don’t own Escape from New York then I highly urge you to grab a bargain priced what should have been award winning and give one a good home!
Oh I’m working on a Wonder Woman drawing tonight too, I’m leaving Iron Man in the back of my head to ripen a little more.
