Ah, you’ve gotta love this whole Internet-blogging thing. It offers you so many things. Like porn, and…

I’m drawing a blank.

Oh yeah: Free giveaways, sometimes with no strings attached. As exemplified by this post on Seth’s Blog, offering two free movie DVDs just by asking, via email.

I jumped on it, and lo and behold, Seth emailed me back to tell me that he’ll be mailing his extra copy of A History of Violence in the near future. Score!

So thank you, Seth. Nothing like getting a free-and-clear freebie to make me giddy.

I never did catch Violence when it came out in theaters, nearly two years ago, nor have I been sufficiently motivated enough to seek it out afterward. It looked plenty compelling though, as only a David Cronenberg opus can. So I’m glad I lucked into this.

This little episode actually has inspired me to do a likewise blog-giveaway. I’d done it once or twice in the past, so I’m overdue for a repeat. I have plenty of clutter lying around that could use a better home. Stayed tuned for the first offer, later this week.
