Today we suggest that you direct yourself to Scarecrow Video, one of the nation’s largest video stores and certainly one of Seattle’s great assets. Sometimes the holidays mean getting bogged down with family pulling you in many different directions. Here are some talking points to help guide your plans in our suggested direction:

Mom: What should we do today? Oh I know! It looks like the AMC Galaxacroid 45 is showing that new Saving Mr. Banks movie! Let’s catch a matinee for $17! Tom Hanks is so cute.
You: No, Mom. We’re going to go to Scarecrow and rent Ingmar Bergman’s Hour of the Wolf.
Mom: Okay honey!

5030 Roosevelt Way NE. Open till 11 tonight.
