There’s a new definition for the word “futility“. Futility is trying to score a copy of the deluxe edition of the movie 300 one day after it’s been unleashed onto the masses.

Went to Target on Wednesday, all copies (deluxe, standard) already sold out, nothing in back stock either. Nothing at Blockbuster either. Nothing nowhere. Every once in a while there’s a lonely fullscreen edition version (fuck that) sitting at a shelf somewhere. I pass. This movie must be experienced in all its widescreen glory.

Same situation Thursday, all sold out. Well hell, what does a fan have to do to get a deluxe DVD edition of 300 NOW, not in five years when the popularity of this masterpiece might go down? Order it online probably but  since I loathe (LOATHE!) waiting the question is: is it quicker to wait until a local store has a copy available or wait for UPS to ring the doorbell with an order from Amazon?

Choices, choices.
