What, even more so than "Bring Me Sunshine"? I can't stand any of the coke adverts. Or the maltesers. I particularly hate the one they have with all the people space-hopping to work on maltesers. "Bah-da-ba-bahhhhh-bah-da-ba-bahhhhhh..."

I'm glad someone else remembers Sweet Home Alabama. I'll never forget that.

"-Daddy! -He's about to surrender. -Thank you!"
"Get down here and give me a divorce!"
"Go get them yankees..."
"-The girl I knew used to be fearless! -The girl you knew didn't have a life! -Guess you'd better get on with it, then..."
"-Melanie Carmichael... will you marry me? -Oh my god... OH MY GOD!!!!"

And the baby in a bar line is the immortal line. We actually refer to that film in our store as "Baby in a Bar".

Fucking Shelley Blonde. She mis-pronounced "Odie" and "Magneto". And she presented that Starmaker DVD as well. Grrr...


Now why has no-one mentioned the Revoice trailer??!!

I did like ColdPlay's "Speed of Sound" on the trailer, though. Too bad it's gone now.

Even worse. Lighting zapped our DVD player. Total silence for 3 days. We can no longer function without a trailer.

Have you ever noticed that the customers don't even hear it, but we do?

We hear it over, and over, and over...

I particularly hated the screaming aol baby, don't funk with my heart, and put the lime in the coke. I'm really starting to hate the explanation of No EVF with the syrupy sweet "...and it's all YOURS, to keep. If you decide you no longer want to own..."

EVF Nazi...Lucky you. I wish a meteor would fall on our player.

I'm just waiting for another Phil Collins song from some kids movie to be on again, then I think I'll jump off the top of the building.

What about the Notebook?

"I WAITED FOR YOU FOR 7 YEARS!"
"I wrote you everyday for a year"

We still laugh about that one.
