OH YEAH! HDMI cable has arrived! -- nm - Shaun Mar 11, 09:46
The card that came with the DVDs reportedly said "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:41 3
- (And maybe the CIA microdotted the DVDs with intelligence information on british terror threats?) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:43 2
  - Now we're talking! They hope one of the discs end up in Brown's laptop which will trigger the embedded spy code. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 11, 09:45 1
    - The DVDs are embedded with mind control images and soon Brown will be our puppet. "Sure, Mr. President, we'd be happy to take over in Iraq!" -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:46

Noted: ST is more about the gift than the thought. :-P -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:40 9
- You know what would be a good gift. Double A batteries. Someone from the White House should head on down to Wal Mart, pick up a load of them, and dish - Loyola Mar 11, 09:45
- I find the uproar in the British press pretty funny, as gifts to visiting dignitaries are picked by some public servant and not personally chosen by - Roger More Mar 11, 09:42 5
  - Fire the gift picker outer! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:43 4
    - Next visit we should give him a frmed copy of the Declaration of Independance. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:44 3
      - It would be great if the DVDs were like ... Independence Day, V for Vendetta, 28 Days Later ... - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:48 1
        
        Don't forget, Born on the 4th of July -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:49

  - You should be laughing. I put smilies so you all would know I'm joking. - TWuG Mar 11, 09:42
okay TFox, I'm wanting to know. You rap battled in the past? -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:38 7
- I rapped at freestyle nights in clubs for years when I lived in Nashville. - TFox Mar 11, 09:45 3
  - Yeah, a white boy in a club, worth the chuckle, you having any doubts, look at my buckle. -- nm - TFox si Mar 11, 09:48 1
    - I had to "keep it real", Will. No rap costume for me, I always went in my khakis and polo shirts and shit. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 09:49
  - thats a neat story - thank you for sharing -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:46
- he is a nightmare walking, psychopath talking, King of his jungle just a gangster stalking... -- nm - decline Mar 11, 09:41
- Yeah, yeah, for a few days, I had no skill; turning point came, was owned by Will. -- nm - TFox Si Mar 11, 09:41 1
  - good one -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:42

Aw, c'mon, the 25 DVDs are like a mix tape and the selections (selected by the American Film Institute) reflect Obama's feelings for Brown and - TWuG Mar 11, 09:31 29
- What if it turns out that Brown is a huge movie fan and the DVDs are his 25 most absolute favorite movies of all time? nm - Jim Mar 11, 09:47 1
  - The British complaints seem to indicate he is not a cinephile. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:55

- Here's the DVDs: -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:33 [Image] 17
  - Does 2001 quality as American Cinema? And it's "Sunset Blvd.", not "Boulevard". -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:41
  - [deleted] 2
    - That's what I was thinking. Is that their top 25? I haven't checked. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:40 1
      - [deleted]
  - Nice. Next year's presents Halo 3, GTA4 while Brown, I imagine, will give King Henry the Fourth's bejewelled sword. -- nm - Loyola Mar 11, 09:37 3
    - Guess who'll get more enjoyment out of that trade? -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:38 2
      - The sword would be hours of fun. He could just sit in the Oval Office all day pretending to knight stuff. "I dub thee 'Sir Couch'." "I dub thee 'Sir Picture Frame'." -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:41 1
        
        [deleted]
  - He wanted to give Brown the new Star Trek movie, but he has to wait till release. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 09:37 1

        Those DVD's mean nothing to Obama! -- nm - Loosi SI Mar 11, 09:41
  - Not a bad list. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:34
- I wonder what Obama did with those 50 Canadian songs? -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:32 1
  - Put them on his iPod then rated them at zero? -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:36
- Obama's feelings for Brown and the UK? Please don't tell me we gave him Beaches. -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:32
- Maybe possibly not giving a gift Brown could just buy at Amazon.uk - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:32 4
  - plus the pen came from the sister ship of the Resolute, which Queen Victoria turned part of into a desk that sits in the Oval Office - crash davis Mar 11, 09:34 2
    - it wasn't a pen, but a pen holder -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:36 1
      - thats what I thought, but so many people here said pen...the holder will sit perfectly on the desk -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:37
  - At least the kids' gifts could only be bought at the White House gift shop. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:34

      - yep. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 09:32 3
        
        what is MM's profile photo? will that give her away? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 11, 09:36 2
        
        I can see your picture! Right there! I know it's you! -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:37
        
        I would have to think it would. -- nm - Callisto Mar 11, 09:37

  - I believe that is tonight -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 09:34
- Can we all agree that - unlike past seasons - this first round was NOT an unmitigated disaster? -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:27 5
  - Agreed. Last night's broadcast was very good entertainment -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 09:33
  - I've been ok with some of the past seasons. I don't think this one is much different. - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:31 2
    - The first night is usually quite a car wreck. It's only after 3-4 weeks that we get into truly solid stuff. -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 09:33 1
      - Yes, IMO, nobody truly sucked -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 09:43
  - Agreed. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:30

- He looks good for a dead man. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 09:24 1
  - 'waves hand' That's not who you think it is. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 09:33
- "For several months... DC fans have been dying to know when Grant Morrison would return to the helm of the Dark Knight franchise". Dying is right! - Mop Mar 11, 09:23 1

  - I expect that next week Brown will be getting a call from Blockbuster informing him that he has 25 overdue DVDs. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 09:27 1
    - L5! -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:31

  - "Oh gooooooood!" -- nm - HdnAgnda channeling Bale. Mar 11, 09:20
  - he is? Does SNL know? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 09:19

    - God help me I might have to go Republican if it is determined that The Hottie or the Nottie or Love Guru was in there. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 11, 09:21 1
      - Land of the Lost Discs 1 - 24. - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:23

    - the best I've ever heard was this B. Rabbit guy in a rap battle in a club in Detroit -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:12 12
      - a guy here from Indy (Russel from the Birdmen, Spawn) faced Em in 97 and smoked him in a battle... - Remlik Mar 11, 09:20 3

        btw, I know 2-Pac is a god, but way back in the day I heard Ice-T's Cop Killer album and kind of liked it. Thus my vote. -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 09:17 3
        
        That album was eponymously titled "Body Count", and IIRC that track was eventually removed from the track listing -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 09:21 2
        
        but was left on as a 'secret track' I thought. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 09:21 1
        
        Huh, could be. I just remember it one day not being there anymore -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 09:41
