Doesn’t it just make you upset when you go shopping at Christmas for an old movie not sold in stores. A few days before Christmas, I was looking for the movie, “The Mask of Zorro”, starring Antonia Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. First, I went to Wal-Mart. It was a movie not on the shelf. The man at the cash register said that they did not have it. I thought to myself that it made no sense. National Treasure was on the shelf and movies older than that, but no Mask of Zorro.
Then I decided to go to Block Buster. They did not have it either. A lady gave me information. I told her that the Mask of Zorro was a newer version of Zorro. She told me she knew, but it was an older movie that they did not have on the shelf. Still to me, it made no sense.
The last place that I went to was Target. They did not have it either, and I did not bother to ask anyone for help. Hollywood video was closed down. I was through looking in the stores of New Bern, NC.
On the day before Christmas, I went to Raleigh, NC. The video store in the mall did not exist anymore. It was a video store that had closed down. Target and Wal-mart in Raleigh did the same as New Bern. There was no Mask of Zorro. There was a book store that might have had it, but they were closing early for Christmas. I was out of luck for that movie. I knew that it was online and could be ordered, but I wanted it right away. So now I have to wait and get the movie after Christmas. Luckily, I already have part two of the movie which is the Legend of Zorro. When the Mask of Zorro comes in the mail, I want to sit down and look at both of them together.
I do not know why the stores keep some movies off of the shelf. Some say they go by how the sales are. I don’t care. I think they should keep at least 2 or 3 copies of a movie not selling well on the shelf. Somebody might won’t to buy a copy. From now on, I guess I will do movie online ordering.
