What was the first dvd you bought?

Mine? Titanic. Not my finest hour. Technically brilliant, the story is awful.

“Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” – James Madison

"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11

...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

I’m pretty sure my first DVD was Pixar’s A Bug’s Life. It came with my iMac DV, my first DVD player.

The title of my first DVD was “”. I.e., I’ve never bought one. Yeah, I’m a troglodyte.

Serious about crackers.
