Buying at Borders

[kybearfuzz]

A new shopping area has opened up near my house. They have some great restaurants, upscale shopping (which I'll likely not patronize often), and a Borders! The last makes me the most happy because I love bookstores and I can check the store's inventory online and get discount coupons in the mail. I've already spent a good chunk of money there on DVD's this weekend.

I bought the DVD box set of Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a sort of X-Files precursor from the early-to-mid 1970's starring Darren McGavin as the reporter who finds himself often investigating the supernatural. It has a great mix of comedy and horror, something I think the new Night Stalker series lacks. It only lasted for a couple of seasons, but I think it would have done well if they hadn't canceled it. It has a cult following of sorts. And Darren McGavin is a nice furry guy as I found out from the episode "The Ripper."

One of the other movies I bought this weekend was Bram Stoker's The Mummy, found in the bargain bin while out and about. The movie is pretty much independent junk, but it stars Richard Karn in a supporting role. It's one of the few chances to see him shirtless. I snagged a screen capture for those who are interested to see it.



Richard Karn also shows some skin...

Kolchak is very worth it, in my opinion. It's about $35-40 for 20 episodes :)

I also meant to get the DVD set of the two TV movies, but I keep forgetting.

Did Darren McGavin play Murphy Brown's dad? I can't remember.

Oh yeah, he did play "Bill Brown" on Murphy Brown, his sparing matches with her mother was hilarious. :)
