MOVIECYCLE NEWSLETTER #2418
January 29, 2011
Welcome to an all new Newsletter from your fine friends at Moviecycle, located in Beautiful downtown Ballard! We have a lot to cover, so let’s start off with
NEW TRADE-INS
It’s a well known fact that here at moviecycle we take in a mind-boggling amount of amazing titles on a daily, and sometimes hourly basis! Why, I think I can safely say without fear of hyperbole that we have the single greatest collection of dvds anywhere on planet earth, including the internet! On our WALL OF COOL right now we have a ton of great titles….
Mr. Show: Seasons 1 &2
Aqua Teen Hunger Force #4
Gone With The WInd
Streetcar Named Desire
The Great Escape
Five Easy Pieces
Heavy Metal
Snatch
Monty Python’s Life Of Brian
Do The Right Thing
The list could literally go on for ever and ever with me typing and you reading amazing movie titles one after the other for so long, that when I was finally done, you would look around to find the world had passed you by, your friends and family long dead, with your wife’s skeleton at your feet holding a single rose. WE’VE GOT SO MUCH GOOD STUFF!!
GREEN DOTS GALORE!!
Our greet dot sale at last years seafood fest was such a roaring success that we’ve adapted it all year round here at MC (that’s what people in the know call our little slice of heaven!) Any movie with a green dot on it is yours for the low, low price of $3.99! We have table upon table of great stuff for all you film buffs out there! See if any of these titles ring a bell; Any Given Sunday, Max Payne, Two Weeks Later, Stuck On You, Scary Movie, The Fantastic Four, Austin Power; the Spy Who Shagged Me, Basic, Taxi, Fun With Dick & Jane, Day Zero, Superstar… the list goes on. And who doesn’t have a mere four dollars to drop on a quality flick. Except for people with horrible drug and alcohol problems that drink and use to forget who soul crushing their lives are…but i think that goes without saying.
FAN FICTION!
A poem was recently sent to us from moviecycle customer Nick DeCapertini;
Ode To The Cycle
There is a place right down the block
Where movie fans all love to flock
Their prices fair, to buy a flick
Their shelves are full, their service quick
Moviecycle is the place to be
If it’s movies that you want to see.
We had to edited out 3 stanzas out of this poem that dealt with a show in Tijuana went to last summer, but I think you see what he was going for. That you Nick, and thanks to all our fans! Keep the letters coming in!
GEOFF REED’S PICK OF THE WEEK!
The Most Amazing Comedy Film Every Made In The History Of Cinema. Did I Say "Comedy Film"? I meant Film Period. Yeahhh...that's the ticket!
That’s right everyone!
it’s time for another amazingly awesome REEDCO movie pick. This one is sure to tickle the funny bone of an comedy fan out there! I’m talking about the comedy that changed the way the world laughed, changed the way the world cried, and yes, even changed the way we lived. The movie? Of course I’m talking about the amazingly funny laugh-riot Wieners! I won’t go into to many details about the plot, since most of planet earth has seen this one a dozen times or more, but it stars the amazingly sexy Kenan Thompson (Goodburger), comedy queen Jenny McCarthy, (too many good movies to list), and the silver screens bad boy Darrel Hammond. It is the story of three friends, who, for various reasons travel across the country in an Oscar-Meyer weinermobile. They meet various wacky people, fight with each other, try and get “dates wit’ hotties” and other nutty things. Trust me when I say, this movie with blow you away! And guess what!! We Have It Here At Moviecycle!!! Well….that just about wraps up this week’s Pick Of The Week!
ASK Dr. Flicks!
Dr. Flicks is a film-buff, and not an actual doctor. His addiction to pain killers, and a freak mishap with a young girl and a toaster oven ended his dreams of being a male nurse in the early 1970s. This column is a forum for movie triva only.
Dr. Flicks,
On of my favorite movies is “North By Northwest” I love the famous scene with the airplane flying in over them! How many takes did it take to get such a legendary moment on flim
Kip Hanson
Dear Kip,
Don’t Know…..Don’t Care.
Send your questions for Dr. Flicks into moviecycle today! Who knows! You might see you’re name in bright lights someday! But I seriously doubt it!
Anyways….that wraps up another Moviecycle newsletter! Come on down to our store! We are at 2240 market street, open everyday from 10 to 9!!
Thank You,
Geoffrey Reed
