Little Children, and Sesame Street Old School

Whoa!
So I am already here with my first deconstruction, and it's been like what, two days?
Ok, here's the problem.
The first DVD i shall be reviewing is not actually one that i own, but one that i've rented. So it kind of goes against the whole conceit of this blog. And the DVD contains nothing on it, but the movie itself. Not even a trailer. So this could be considered cheating, perhaps, but it could also be seen as me easing myself into the grueling process of devouring everything that I own.
The movie is Little Children, released in 2006. Starring Patrick Wilson (Hard Candy) and Kate Winslet (boobies!), the film is a look at the goings-on of suburban America. The two characters, Brad and Sarah, already married and with young children to boot, meet on a playground. As time goes on, they get closer and closer, looking forward to their daily meetings at the swing set or public pool, and they start doing it. A lot. Will they leave their proper families to run away with one another? Will Brad fail his bar exam again? Will Brad realize that he's already married to Jennifer Connelly?
The movie also features Jackie Earle Haley (Bad News Bears!) as a pedophile who castrates himself. So, yeah.
(It should be noted that I sort of fail as a legitimate movie reviewer. I don't have the patience for summarizing plot. I don't, however, have a problem with revealing crucial plot points or twists. This means every one of my reviews will be SPOILER ALERT!!1!)
My friend Whitney (that's right, Whitney Brown. Three posts and two mentions. Not bad, my friend, not bad.) said that Little Children is way better than American Beauty. That American Beauty is like the red-headed stepchild to Little Children.
He is wrong. American Beauty is far superior, a classic of recent cinema.
Little Children is good. But, come on.
I like the font used in the titles and credits, though. It's pretty sweet.
It uses the narrator from Frontline.
It has Jennifer Connelly in it.
Overall, it was quite good.
Now, here would come the time where I would make my ultimate decision as to whether or not I would sell my DVD on Ebay, or realize that I could never truly part with the movie.
However, I don't actually own it, and to sell the copy that I now possess would surely anger Blockbuster Online.

ALSO, BONUS NOT_REAL REVIEW!>!_!

Recently released: Sesame Street Old School.
The first set features the years 1969-1974. It features the premiere episode of each season as well as various selected sketches from those years. For some reason, I got sent Disc 2 of 3, forcing me to be lost in terms of Sesame Street continuity. I watched the 1970 episode.
Sesame Street is a fucked up show.
Is it a hour long these days? Cause it sure was back then.
There was like a 7 minute long segment about firemen, with a high-pitched, beautiful, 70s AM radio style song describing what the firemen are doing.
There's a dude wearing a helmet explaining that the difference between short and tall people is...well, just listen.

There's two Bill Cosbys reciting the alphabet.

There's no Elmo.
There are the Yip-Yip Martians.

Overall, Sesame Street is pretty awesome.
And there's no Elmo.
Yet.
