Movie Props 4 Sale!
Derek, Adam and myself went to the Movie Prop sale (as advertised in today's Toronto Star). It was held in a large warehouse, packed to the rafters with all manners of ill shit, like newspaper boxes, fake backdrops, and empty wine bottles. I remain skeptical as to whether or not the items available were from any movies whatsoever; I was impressed at the sheer number of oversized novelty playing cards and toilet seats there were to be found, that's for sure. But whether those playing cards were ever in a deleted scene from "Meatballs 4" remains a mystery.
I think if I ever want to get rid of a large amount of crap, (if, say, my great-uncle Jebediah leaves me a garbage dump in his will, for example) I will say that everything that is for sale is from a movie. "Yes, that old computer is from the film 'Wargames'. Oh, that other computer? That's from TRON. The toilet seat? That was the toilet seat that Tom Cruise sat on in 'Mission:Impossible'." Prove me wrong, losers!
So we left the sale empty-handed (although Derek did come close to buying a coffin, and I was tempted by a life-size styrofoam dolphin), but the memories we shared that day will last forever.
