Mark – you’ll be relieved to know that I am not making fun of Mr. Ming-liang, just pointing out the occasionally absurd reach of anyone (myself included) interested in foreign cinema. I have never seen any of his work (I found his name on Wikipedia under “Taiwanese Cinema”), but will take your comment as a suggestion to check it out soon.

And aside from my dicey relationship with its employees, I too will miss the store immensely. Their selection was generally second to none.

I hope you’re not making of fun of Tsai Ming-liang, because he’s one of my favorites. For realz. I read this on Bwog today and got really sad. I personally never had any douchey experiences there (even as I rented many silly movies), probably because none of the clerks gave a shit. But they have such great stuff! And the book selection is good, too!

Man, I’m getting sadder just thinking about this. Oh also I bought some really good CDs there!

It just keeps getting worse.

Jeff, I feel your pain. Buy something super-mainstream, like “Transformers” (in its special collector’s edition format, natch), to really stick it to them on your way out. Or the complete “Sex And The City” – what a scandal that would be!

Damn. And I just signed up for a membership there too. They better give me my $25 in movie rental credits back. Or at least apply it towards the purchase of one of their absurdly priced DVDs
