"A Dollar Quality"

Ok, so there I was, looking for trinkets at a
local 99 Cent store, when lo and behold, a selection
of "fine" quality dvds. Pretty lousy selections, but since
I am a big Bruce Lee fan, I decided to go with this one,
"The Real Bruce Lee."

I asked the kind clerk to be frank, I said
'how's the quality of these dvds?'

The man (who said he was Punjabi) said to me,
"It's not bad, it's good man. You know...
It's a dollar quality."

That said it all. The video quality was not as bad as I expected,
but still pretty bad by any measure. But the program itself was almost
unwatchable. I turned if off after a few minutes. To be frank, it stunk.
But what do you expect for a buck? It's a dollar quality man! :-)

Verdict: Sometimes you may get a bargain, but in life, most of
the time, you get what you pay for.

Love 99c stores. Almost in par with $2 movie theaters. Man I just wish now that the popcorn gets cheaper. BV

Bruce Lee rocks, shame on them for making such a bad program. I've definitely gotten some better $1 DVD's here in Australia. Haven't seen any DVD in 100yen shops in Japan, I wonder what they would be like if they sold them? BV

I didn't know there was such a thing as a bad Bruce Lee movie. Still, a dollar well spent.

Lee: Don't think. FEEL. It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
