On iTunes and Zombies

I like the idea of the iTunes Store. I really don't mind paying for music, movies and other forms of media - as long as it's good. My sister gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, and I was thinking about using it today. I've been jones-ing for a good zombie movie, even if it's one I've already seen (which would be most/maybe 95% of them). So I figured I'd check out the iTunes Store to see what they had. Announcement: they had crap. There were a few movies I'd buy, but I already own them (Tombstone and High Fidelity come to mind - I don't have the iTunes site open at the moment). I liked School of Rock, but not enough to own a digital copy that'll sit on my work desktop until my G5 eventually craps out (estimated date of crap out: September of 2010). The first Jackass was there, and that was pretty funny, but again, not enough interest to purchase. I'll send the iTunes folks an e-mail concerning their lack of decent movies, but I can't promise any results. Youtube.com has some okay zombie footage, but not nearly enough to fill a dull yet work-filled afternoon at my desk. I need to stop by Blockbuster and pick up Undead - an Australian zombie movie that's supposed to be really really good. I have a gift card for that joint as well, although I'm not sure if my Blockbuster account is still active since I haven't gone to any of their stores in about five years. Having HD movie channels, movies on demand keeps me out of there. Plus a lot of freelance work doesn't leave much time for movie viewing - although I apparently have plenty of time at the office.
