My Answers:

2) I've not yet bought a DVD that cane with any toys.
3) A select few, yes.
4) No.
5) Double no.
6) I considered it once, but then thought about it the same way as lending to a friend of a friend. The damage done may not be worth the "rent" paid.
7) So far I still haven't gotten rid of any of my DVDs. They just sit in a different location.
8) Yes, always. My only attempt at different storage resulted in scratches on the discs.
9) No, but I would love to set one up with the whole smash from black walls and curtains to adjustable lighting, speakers, and large screen.
10) No, but I'm thinking about buying a miniature popcorn machine.
11) Not since college.
12) I have a couple of times when there is absolutely nothing else on tv or music.

13) I've considered it, but I've never done it.
14) Nope.
15) Once by accident.
16) No, but I almost did.
17) Yes, and had been reminded once already.

19) No.
20) No, it's not difficult to remember what movies I have and don't have.
21) No.
22) No. (See question #7)

24) Yes; a Spy Kids DVD with no case.
25) Yep; horribly scratched up sealed in seemingly new case.
26) A few times (unwanted Christmas gifts)
27) Several times. I often love special features as much as the movies themselves.
28) Two or three times; The same movie on two DVDs comparing full and wide screen.
29) A long time ago, yes.
30) Several times. I hate when actors mutter and mumble.
31) Yes, and failed miserably.
32) Yes, as a coaster and rolling on the ground.
33) I think so. I can't remember for sure though
34) (See answer #7... again) although I have considered it.

35) Wall-E, Stargate, The Man in the Iron Mask, Gladiator, Paycheck, Terminator 2, Toy Story 2 (not particularly in that order)
36) Spawn, (...and I'll probably get bashed for the rest...), Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Amélie
37) $73.89 for 10 Star Trek films DVD boxed set (new)
38) 2007 (because of the above boxed set, though this year is only a few dollars behind)
39) I think it was 10 hours.
40) Only 7 or 8 (other than the above boxed set).
41) 1951 (Alice in Wonderland)

50) $6,737.75
