Help me with this. Pick any of these movies, e-mail me your choices (fhu@pipeline.com) and I'll mail the DVDs to you. For keeps. I'll even pay the postage.
Movies are fun!

ReplyDeleteThey'll just be wasted if I don't.

You're a generous person. What a nice way to pass on some appreciaton for the arts!
ReplyDeleteyou are such an unbelievably caring human :) You really are. Your posts always make me smile and it's so nice to return here, to your beautiful home :)
ReplyDeleteI've watched some of them, and The Pianist (along with Across the Universe) are my favorite. I wish I could watch Shameless because I heard that Steven Robertson play on one of the episodes. But I live in Indonesia, though, so I don't know if it possible.
ReplyDeleteYou're really sweet by doing this. You make me smile just by reading this post :)
That is so immensely kind + generous + considerate of you, Ally. Your heart of gold shines so brightly, the sun is jealous.
