cool beans my man, revamping your movie collection earn you some respect in my opinion. I lean towards movies and TV shows rather than games, video games have been getting more complicated and involved in the last few years to the extent that I find it too much of a trouble to learn how to play.

have you watched any good show lately?

After Jax found out about his dad and how he died, it kinda killed it for me, I was hoping that they would make it as a series finale and Jax would go crazy after he finds out.

I was being a bit silly in my jokey post, I'd rather be doing something constructive on Christmas Day. Past Christmases were mostly enjoyable but I got tired of the commercialism and pressure to overdo everything. I think I'm actually working on the day but if anyone knows of any charitable events around the time I'd like the opportunity to take part, provide a little help.

I thought "Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" was funnier--and cruder, which perhaps is what made it funny!

I haven't seen these so I don't know what the content will be, but American Dad in Saudi and Family Guy in Saudi might make for enjoyable viewing.

Also Wadjda may be worth a watch.
