Huh.
Have you ever read something that made so little sense you skipped over it, only for your brain to react much later with an almighty, “you what?” that left you mildly stupified?
I know, that’s a very niche situation. Let me try and explain.
I was reading some reviews of films on CEX. I do this on a regular basis because they’re rarely about the quality of the film itself and contain such poor punctuation and grammar it makes me feel slightly better about my own poor grasp of the English language.
I saw the review above a few days ago and had to come back to it to try and work out the logic (if there is any).
Did he buy it and then get it again? Does he mean that he bought it digitally but because it had such a profound effect on him, because it was such a wonderful and thought-provoking work of art that he purchased a physical version to enjoy forever? Perhaps it’s supposed to be a story about time travel:
“I bought this dvd (present), because i liked it (past), and thought it was brilliant (still past) so I got it (back to the present).”
Who’s to say? You could go round and round and never fully understand the true meaning. I guess we’ll never know what *checks* stewardle was talking about. If only I’d gotten to him earlier. Ten years is too long.

He didn’t buy it though. He brought it. Where did he bring it? That’s the question. If we knew that the rest would be obvious.
He brought it… to the shop where he bought it from, then he bought it.
I mean that’s the worst way to buy something, by actually giving it to the shop and then buying it for presumably a second time. He does sound very passionate about the film.
I suppose if you love the film that much then you’d want to make really, really sure you own it. Maybe that would cause you to take it to a shop just so you could buy it again. At least then you’d have a receipt to prove it was yours.
He could keep trading it in and buying it back. Perhaps the intention was to make them believe the film was more popular than it was and drive the price up.
Ah, he was attempting to get rich on insider trading using only a second hand copy of Ouroboros on DVD. A tricky way to make your fortune but I expect it can be done.
