Oy vey.

This is basically the transcript of a conversation I just had with my father (who saw The Movie twice and really liked it).

Me: I've been reading reports by people who just saw the extended version of LotR and--
Dad: Extended?
Me: Yeah, the extended version that's coming out on DVD next week! And it's half an hour longer and they said it's like a whole different movie!
Dad: That's the one you ordered? The extended one?
Me: Yes. And they said--
Dad: Did we buy this just because, or as a Christmas present?
Me: Um. Early Christmas present.
Dad: Oh, right. So you can wait 'till Christmas.
Me: *blank stare*
Dad: You're waiting for Christmas, right?
Me: *twitches* No?
Dad: Or Chanukah. Chanukah's early this year.
Me: It's COMING IN NEXT WEEK. Hence, EARLY Christmas present.
Dad: Oh.
Me: *twitches*

The only reason I'm working through my father at all is because I don't have a credit card. This was obviously a Very Bad Idea.

On another note, does anyone know whether the first midnight showing of TTT will be between the 17th and 18th or the 18th and 19th? Because. Need to know. Planning ahead. And. Yeah.
