Watch yourself with that, my sister-in-law ended up getting put in the hospital cause she lost like 30 lbs (and she was thin to begin with) due to constant diarrhea, her stomach became super-sensitive to most foods for a few months after that, it was like a year before she could eat normally again. She was miserable cause alcohol made it ten times worse and she's a bit of a lush.

30lb drop? Unfortunately I'm not so lucky.

Poster arrived pretty wrinkled. Seller immediately got it to USPS. Spent four fucking days there, finally shipped yesterday and arrived today.
Poster came in one of those cardboard, cylinder mailing things. It was split opened and you could actually see the poster rolled up in there and wrinkled a little. Also slightly bent. Best way I can describe it is being halfway bent to making a "7" shape. It is barely, barely acceptable. There are no tears that are visible, just wrinkles across the poster where the roll was bent. I keep imagining some retard stepping on it at one of the post offices. Seller even put a sticker on it that said "FRAGILE! DO NOT BEND". And it was bent. Phenomenal poster, barely acceptable condition. Very disappointed. Whoever bent this must be slapped at least twice to satisfy my frustration with them.

If I change my mind about it being barely acceptable, how would I go about getting USPS to pay for this shit? :p

Priority mail includes $50 or $100 of insurance, I think, if it was sent pretty much any other way without additional insurance, they won't pay for it.

Your best bet is requesting a replacement through the company you bought it from. Or laying a slightly damp towel (spritz with water bottle, don't wet and wring out the water) over the poster, with the printed side down, and running an iron on the lowest heat setting over the towel to smooth the wrinkles and repeat until smooth.

I would rather buy it again than have the company replace it because of the post office screw up. It was packaged in a cardboard cylinder shape package and it was obviously a poster. The company even put a DO NOT BEND warning sticker on the label and some retard bent it, anyway.

I already hung it up. You can really only see the wrinkles if you stand at a specific angle and the light reflects off of it. I'm just gonna live with it. The damp towel thing sounds like a neat trick, though.

Maybe it's just the vampire buddy-buddy equivalent of resting an arm on a friend's shoulder.

Elbow to shoulder, foot to knee.

Found these DVDs at my place of work - only five dollars a piece which is okay. I wanted two of the three of these anyway, so I thought why not?

1. The Conjuring (2013) - Didn't care for the film when I saw it, but maybe upon a second viewing it'll be okay.
2. El orfanato (2007) - Or The Orphanage. Been a long while since I've seen this Spanish ghost movie, but I remember it being pretty decent.
3. Gothika (2003) - I haven't seen this movie since somewhere around seventh grade. I remember really liking it though. Decent horror flick then, which I hope holds up.
