Privacy is a quaint notion here but for the most part we try and allow others as much of it as possible unless of course they have just gotten a package from Amazon! DVD’s are a big deal here in Iraq since our main opponent on our safe little base is crushing boredom. Folks here will crowd around and hop up and down like little kids waiting for you to open up your new trove of movies. This also leads to a great deal of DVD swapping and borrowing and yes on occasion, even theft.
Not a problem for me folks. Nobody wants to steal my movies… A partial list of my current movie library here in country:
The Day After Trinity
Crusade (entire season (I’m a sucker for Peter Woodward))
The Atomic Café
Choke (Rickson Gracie)
Bullshit! (seasons 1&2 (ok occasionally the enlightened few ask to borrow this))
Nuclear 911
The Atomic Bomb Movie
Cadfael (all 13 episodes (Calangelo and I are the only fans)
The Name of the Rose
Jeremiah (great but no one knows about it)
UFC 49 & 50
Hook and Shoot Revolution (Serious MMA Women’s Promotion)
Red Dwarf (Seasons 3 & 4 (updated thanks to Arquonzo))
Typically I just get odd looks and occasional murmumrs of “You’re weird dude…” when I open my Amazon boxes.
