Yeah, well, not that Hollywood. Hollywood Video. I'm an entreprenuer, as some of you may know, with two small online business, and while I enjoy the gobs of cash I make from each venture, I figured my ass needed to dabble in something movie related, SO, Hollywood Video near me was hiring, and I got a call back, and they wanted to interview yours truly tomorrow afternoon.

So, I ask that you forget about the Katrina victims for a minute, and say a prayer for your buddy Cine, so that in the next week or so, I can get free rentals, tell people what movies to rent, and make money to support my undying DVD purchasing habit.

thumb up big grin

Just sharin' the news that I may be offered a position at Hollywood Video. I've been an MVP member there for well over 2 years, feel they're the 2nd best rental chain in the US behind Blockbuster, and I'm hoping to get a side job there since I'm there every other day as it is. I'd save about $15 a month in rentals, lol.

Good Luck ! Altough you will nail the job

Dude...

You are clearly very deserving of your title Cinemaddiction. Just send them your DVD library list. With proof. They'll hire you in a second.

And yeah, I'll send a prayer to the devil for ya.

VHS in the next 2 or 3 years, definately, but not DVD. Especially with Blu Ray and HD-DVD.

lol, you do realize that you'll have to actually do work while you're their, right? You won't be able to just walk around and browse movies all night. Especially if you work on the weekends, which you probably will.

Oh, congrats, btw.

Cinemaddiction
The store I'm working at is slow ($10,000 a week), and my shift is from 5pm-12:30am. There'll be stuff to do, granted, but I'll "get to know" the inventory anyway. I was a shift lead at Movie Gallery about 3 years ago so this isn't anything new. Just sucks that Hollywood doesn't get posters like Movie Gallery did, however, we do get marquee signs.

BackFire
Working at a small store is always a plus. Do you know what days you're working? Because even a slow store can get pretty hectic on a friday/saturday

Congrats, Cory! I found this just doing a search to see if you were still posting 'cause I hadn't seen any in a while. Good luck with your rental frenzy.

Why didn't you put this in the Movie forum? You know how often some of us Movie Discussion "regulars" check the OTF? Try never!

WindDancer
A large Criterion Collection library is a dream come true. happy

Alpha Centauri
You sound like a kid in some kind of a candy store smile. Or me in a music store.

Good luck to you, sir. Hope all goes well.
