there's this ad up late every night and during daytime tv that's been goin on for months about this liquidation house in Sydney. Their latest claim, water damaged stocks must go, everything must go, nothing over ten dollars. Yada, yada, yada...i always thought when i saw this add, and heard that annoying yelling voice that came with it, that it must be a whole heap o' shit. I went there today hoping i'd be wrong, but expecting to have my original views validated; they were more or less although... I walked around for two hours and found maybe three or four items i would actually consider buying, and these were the kinds of things, i wouldn't have had on any kinda imaginable mental wishlist, these were those weird things that you couldn't actually preconceive.
e.g : Sonny Cheeba films, Sonny is the the guy who played the guy who made those swords in KIll Bill, well he used to top bill in B grade Japanese. Tarantino was a big fan apparently. There's this whole dialogue in 'True Romance" where Christian Slater explains Sonny to Patricia Arquette...anyway, you just wouldn't expect that, would you?
e.g : The Borribles Trilogy...what the? I was eleven or twelve, picked up a 99c paperback called the Borribles at a Franklins in my neighbourhood. I read it, I loved it and then I lost my copy. Nobody since then that i've spoken to have heard of The Borribles...and it was there in my face. I never knew it was even a trilogy.
