Dear Megan,

With the possible exception of Harold and k.u.mar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Harold and k.u.mar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, the movies were not worth watching, let alone stealing. In the movies were not worth watching, let alone stealing. In Logan's Run, Logan's Run, for example, the computer crashed at the end when presented with conflicting facts, and blew up, destroying the entire city. When my computer crashes I carry on a little bit and have a cigarette while it is rebooting. I don't have to search through rubble for my loved ones. The same programmers probably designed the Blockbuster "returned or not" database. for example, the computer crashed at the end when presented with conflicting facts, and blew up, destroying the entire city.

Also, while one would a.s.sume the t.i.tle Journey to the Center of the Earth Journey to the Center of the Earth to be a metaphor, the movie was actually set in the center of the earth, which, being a solid core of iron with temperatures exceeding 4,300C and pressures of 3,900 tons per square centimeter, does not seem very likely. to be a metaphor, the movie was actually set in the center of the earth, which, being a solid core of iron with temperatures exceeding 4,300C and pressures of 3,900 tons per square centimeter, does not seem very likely. Waterworld Waterworld was actually pretty good, though. was actually pretty good, though.

My favorite bit was when they were on the water, but the scene when Kevin Costner negotiated for peace, ending the war between fish and mankind moments before the whale army attacked, was also very good.

Dear Megan,

I have checked pricing at the DVD Warehouse, and the cost of replacing your lost movies with new ones is as follows: Harold and k.u.mar Escape from Guantanamo Bay $7.95 $7.95 Waterworld $4.95 $4.95 Journey to the Center of the Earth $9.95 $9.95 Logan's Run $12.95 $12.95 I have no idea why Logan's Run Logan's Run is the most expensive of the four movies, as it was definitely the worst. Have you seen it? I wouldn't pay $12.95 for that. I would use the money to buy a good movie instead. Probably something with Steven Seagal in it. The entire premise comprised of living a utopian and carefree lifestyle with only three drawbacks-wearing seventies jumpsuits, living in what looks like a giant shopping center, and not being allowed to live past thirty. is the most expensive of the four movies, as it was definitely the worst.

The entire premise comprised of living a utopian and carefree lifestyle with only three drawbacks-wearing seventies jumpsuits, living in what looks like a giant shopping center, and not being allowed to live past thirty.

This would seem logical, though, as I would not want a bunch of old people hanging around complaining about their arthritis while I am trying to relax at the shopping center in my jumpsuit and trying not to think about the computer crashing.

I was recently forced to do volunteer work at an aged care hospital. Footage of these people during Tuesday-night line dancing could be used as an advertis.e.m.e.nt for the Logan's Run Logan's Run solution. The only good aspect of working there was that I halved their medication, pocketing and selling the remainder, explaining the computer listed that as their dose and they were welcome to check, knowing their abject fear of anything produced after the eighteenth century would prevent them from doing so. I also swapped my Sanyo fourteen-inch portable television for their Panasonic wide-screen plasma while they were sleeping, explaining that it had always been that way and their senility was simply playing up due to the reduced dosage of drugs. solution.

Hi David

I have not seen those movies so I don't know what you are talking about. I prefer romantic comedies. If you have the movies we can't rent them so we lose money and the fees are based on what we we would have made from renting them and we also have to purchase movies through our suppliers not from DVD Warehouse.

Dear Megan,

I myself am also a huge fan of romantic comedies. Perhaps we could watch one together. I have a new Panasonic wide-screen plasma. My favorite romantic comedy is Fatal Instinct, Fatal Instinct, although it did not contain enough robots or explosions, in my opinion, and I was therefore unable to truly identify with the main characters on a personal and emotional level. Recently, I was tricked into watching although it did not contain enough robots or explosions, in my opinion, and I was therefore unable to truly identify with the main characters on a personal and emotional level. Recently, I was tricked into watching The Notebook, The Notebook, which was about geese. Lots of geese. It also had something to do with an old lady who conveniently lost her memory, so she could not remember being a wh.o.r.e throughout the entire film. I don't recall a lot of it, because I was too busy being cross about watching it. In a utopian future society she would have been hunted down and killed at thirty. which was about geese.

In regard to the late fees, I understand the amount is based on what you lose by not being able to rent the movies out. You probably had people lined up around the block waiting to rent Logan's Run. Logan's Run. For eighty-two dollars, though, I could have purchased six copies of it from DVD Warehouse or, as I have heard he is a bit strapped for cash, had Kevin Costner visit my house in person and re-enact key scenes from For eighty-two dollars, though, I could have purchased six copies of it from DVD Warehouse or, as I have heard he is a bit strapped for cash, had Kevin Costner visit my house in person and re-enact key scenes from Waterworld Waterworld in the bathroom. in the bathroom.
