What was the original ending? (There was an alternate one? o.O; ). The one I saw, Gus escaped through the forest, Jessie went back home, and everyone was happy (except for the hostages, of course :P )

That sucks. I mean, he is setting an example and all, but still. The DVD doesn't include any features, just the movie (it's a shame, I would've loved to seesome commentary or something).

I know! I'm so mad about that, I bought it the other day and I really wish there was at least a trailer or something, but nothing! It's a really funny movie though and I still love it.

With the death of the director, I wouldn't look for a special edition Director's Cut with bells and whistles.

Unless Leary needs money and Bill's corpse won't roll over again.

LMAO. Yeah, I know what you mean. I listen to Leary's stand-up and say to myself "Have you NO SHAME? Must you do another person's act? And not even as well?" Bill Hicks was the master. Often imitated, never duplicated.

This is my only favorite holiday movie. I like no other...

My family is exactly like theirs.. SERIOUSLY....

1. My parents and sister constant fights.
2. Grandmother is a boitch too. Everybody tiptoe around her because she has money.
3. Aunt is rude. Always hitting her kids for sweating.
4. Uncle does not stand up against his wife.
5. Family members fighting with each other.
6. Aunt telling me I look fat even though i am a recovering Anorexic. She knows this but does it to annoy me. I am not fat.
7. Christmas is the best time of year when you discover family members past especially when they are drunk. I learned that my grandmother kicked my mother out of the house when she was pregnant with me. That my grandmother hates my guts. My father cheated several times. My father never visited my mom in the hospital when she gave birth...
8. Father not standing up to my mother and me when grandmother insults.


I love this movie.... I enjoy it because it hits too close to home.
