Christmas Presents
Remember that time when I didn't know what I wanted for my birthday? Yep. It's happened again but this time for Christmas.
Instead of making a thread wholly devoted to me, however, I've decided to include the rest of all of you.

Speaking of The Devil's Rejects, was that movie any good? Lions Gate Films has a history of 'gross' films, but that doesn't mean they suck...Nor, of course, does it mean they are good.
However, the twist at the end of Saw made the movie completely worth it.
I enjoyed The Devils Rejects. It was a good revenge/exploitation film, much better then House of 1000 Corpses, IMO. You should give it a rental, see if you like it.
I hated Saw, though, especially the twist. It served no relevant purpose other then being "surprising". The whole "twist at the end to make up for a generic movie" thing has gotten really stale, and most of the time the twists do nothing but offer a cheap, irrelivent surprise.
But, to each his own.
Not asking for anything for christmas, whatever I get I'll be fine with.
Christmas has gone too commercial. Halloween decorations come down, christmas decorations go up. All I am now seeing are advertisements from sears and wallmart on the tv telling everyone what they should buy others for christmas and where they should by it. It has almost become the quintessential holiday that celebrates retail transactions.
I am one of the few people left out there who like to think christmas should be about more than asking and getting gifts. If there is anyone else out there like that, this is the perfect thread to speak up in.
CNN just did a report that addressed the position that christmas has gone too commercial. Their response was that christmas is worth 450 billion dollars to the american economy and to not think of the malls as a place of stress and discomfort, but that you should rather look at yourself as an economic soldier who is battling to keep the US economy strong.
Yes, that'sa what it's all about, I'm glad they cleared that up for all of us.
