What DVDs did you get for Xmas? What DVDs did you give for Xmas? (Merged) (3 Viewers)

[Jesse Blough]

I only got one DVD for xmas:

a FULL SCREEN version of Kangaroo Jack.

hahahahahahahaha. I about laughed in her face when I got it. But I kept my cool and said "Thank You". I'm returning this baby to the store as soon as possible!

My brother got both volumes of Seinfeld on DVD, but the Season 1 & 2 volume had two disc 1s and no disc 2! So I gotta take that back to the store to get a new copy, bleh.

One of those $1 DVDs with 8 Gumby episodes on it, lemme tell ya, that was probably the best gift of the whole lot. Very entertaining, I'm convinced that the creators were totally stoned when they were making them.

Gonna go pick up Star Wars boxset and Chronicles of Riddick director's cut w/ the gift cards I got. Woohoo!

Thanks :b , but my best gift of the day was non-DVD related. I got a Keurig cup-at-a-time coffee brewing system.

[RogerH]

Oh yeah I also got Scene It DVD Game + Sequel Pack looks like it'll fun we I can get some buddies together.

 

[Ernest Rister]

Yeah, try and get some people together who don't mind having their ass handed to them. Like Trivial Pursuit Silver Screen Edition. None of my friends will play that wih me ever since I busted out laughing when one of them received the question, "What seven-reel cartoon was also Walt Disney's first animated feature?"

I felt so bad -- I wasn't laughing at the person, I was laughing at the ease of the question...until I realized the person who had been asked had no idea what the answer was. Then I felt bad because she didn't know it. Everyone gave me shit about it. "That was mean, you laughing" blah blah blah. Now, no one will play their cinema reindeer games with me. :frowning:

They just hate losing.
