"My mom got me Invictus instead of Inception! Damnit!"
How could you eff that up?
Bah-fricking-humbug.
This is not a joke. I am not being cute.
My movie plans for tonight are ruined thanks to her.
Christmas is lame.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Oh the sweet salvation! As I entered the Blockbuster, I could see from the corner of my eye the prize I yearned for. The 1 out of 2 gifts I asked for was sitting there on a rack in all of it's glory. Perfectly wrapped. Perfectly intact. As I approached the DVD rack I could hear the soundtrack to Inception movie in my mind. It amplified the closer I creeped.
And there at the rack, I reach out and grab the copy. My copy. My Christmas wish. My only desire for a whole year. I had attained it.
Now I had to pay for it. Up at the counter I am ready to drop a Benjamin for this disc when I found that it was actually marked 3 dollars off the sticker price. Providence is such a neat thing.
On the ever-so-long drive home I start to sing the main theme: Bum Bum Phisssssssh Budumm bump busshhh. I remove the wrapper, and place it on the TV, ready, waiting, almost beckoning to be watched by my whole family. Which is the reason I wanted the film so badly in the first place. To share with them this interesting film in our yearly tradition.
Did I learn about Christmas today? Yes, I think I did. Christmas is amazing!

Ever hear of a Christmas list and the ability to read one?
Ever hear of stores closing on Christmas Day? Now there is no way I can watch this movie today and watch it on the wide screen.

That is funny! That reminds me of my Aunt Shelly giving me a damn Go-bot insect when I clearly asked for the Insecticons, which are Transformers!
I was destroyed. I was not allowed to ask her to return it. So I burned it.

There were only 2 things on my x-mas list- this movie and those cherry candy canes.
How is it that hard?
She went to a movie store nearby that's going out of business and bought me a buch of crap DVDs...so it even adds more rage to my anger.
I know how I'm supposed to act like during Christmas, but this is bullshite.

To be fair, it's easy to mistake Leonardo Dicaprio for Morgan Freeman. Very close resemblance.

I guess if you aim low, you'll never be disappointed.

I told her that she did it wrong and that if I gave her a list she should have read it.
Like I said it made it worse that she had a bunch of crappy previewed DVDs that weren't on my simple huimble list there to taunt me. Like we're talking 'superhero movie'.

Either way you would gotten a damn good movie.

Deal.
Invictus is a great movie as well. And you can always return it tommorrow. The fact you were denied the right to watch Inception for a whole day is not a big deal. Thank her for the gift and move on with your life.
Stop being a spoiled brat and enjoy being with your family. You think I enjoyed getting crappy books I'll never read? Actually,I did. Because they tried. And their "gag" gift looks freaking awesome, and Amercian propagandist history of WWI sponsored by the Wilson administration written in 1919. They though it looked like something no one would read. It's the best thing they got me. Still, I'm glad for any gifts. It was a nice thought.

I doubt this really happened, but if so...you sound like an ungrateful little bitch and you got even better than what you deserved.
