Love it, love it, love it. I, KD, claim complete and total credit for bringing two dear friends out of the Dark Ages.
Yes, I bought them a DVD player. And some beginning to their new collection. Legends of the Fall, the Special Edition (she likes Brad Pitt with long hair), A Complete History of NASA for him, and the director’s cut of The Abyss for both. Amazingly, I pleased both of them. That is not easy to do. Don’t get me wrong, these two are the most incredible friends and if it were possible to tally up I’d probably owe them my sanity if not my life, but giving them gifts is nearly impossible. They have way more money than I, their house is exploding with stuff, and they shop for fun.
Of course, I also pleased me with the Anniversary Edition of Aliens, my favorite movie of all time, with 17 minutes of restored footage… (Ripley is my hero. I want a loader!) (I also want a Klingon Bird of Prey with functioning cloaking device–but I’ll settle for a loader!)
