"And the pawn shop thing only works if you are in a metropolis I think."
I may live in a desert but did you realize that Phoenix AZ is the fifth largest populated city in the US?
Oh and not to dissapoint you but they rereleasing The Fifth Element soon on DVD... guess that means another trip to the pawn shop.
No, the one I bought is on DVD and plays fine. It is a silly fun romp and valuable as one of those things you can watch more than once, while building a puzzle or doing needlepoint. One copy is enough.
I didn't know you live in Phoenix. Yeah, it's big. My brother-in-law used to run the Phoenix airport operations for one of the airlines (which will remain nameless, obviously).
My wife and I have toyed with the idea of moving there, or maybe the high desert. We have several snow bird friends that "live" there in the winter. My company has offices in Seattle AND Phoenix. Since my managers office is on the east coast and my clients are all over the country, I am thinking of the Snow Bird thing myself...
