I got Monster House for Christmas. If you make it all the way down to 21 on your list, you may borrow it.
It's been a while since my computer has worked well enough to visit you. Things look different. Are they? Because if they are, I like them.
If not, well, I like them still.
I've seen Superman Returns. Twice.
.
Next up: Little Miss Sunshine.
(Of course, it's been in that position for months....)
I wouldn't suggest bothering with Borat. It's humourous bits weren't prevalent enough to make up for it's crudeness. (And PS - so when do I get to return from my banishment, hmm?)
