Looks like the PC police are out in this thread. I like the person trying to defend Abduction is well.
Abduction vs Jean Vigo. Yeah, there's an argument to be made

Re: Wife sent my Criterion back to Blockbuster
I sure didn't. Wife and Blockbuster are both retarded in this saga.
Funniest part: Blockbuster tells my wife (or she claims they told her) to put the homoerotica into any other Blockbuster return envelope. So I put it in with another DVD I was returning. 2 days latter an envelope comes with a sticker on it saying, "We are returning a disc that we believe belongs to you" and inside is the damn Taylor Lautner movie. They sent it back to us!
I'm sure I COULD HAVE got my Jean Vigo blu back, but I wasn't willing to burn any calories for my wife's fuck up, and she took too long to do too little and now it's way too late. She's buying me a new one at the next B&N sale.
Meanwhile I did ban her from handling the envelopes. She's not allowed to open them, seal them, or mail them.

Re: Wife sent my Criterion back to Blockbuster
Pretty much.
Here's another wife story. Last Sunday I had to change the bulb in our (oh who are we kidding? MY) Sony projector. It's a $2K plus piece of hardware, the bulb alone costs $130 bucks and my wife barely knows how to use the thing to watch TV (let's face it she can't even handle Blockbuster's "complicated" rental envelopes). Anyway, I'm changing the bulb, and the moment when you take the old bulb out and put in the new one is a very delicate moment because it's at this moment where the bulb could break and fuck everything up. So I say to her, "I'm coming up on a very delicate procedure here, could you stop talking and not bug me no matter what for the next 3 minutes." And she says "Sure", then pauses for a moment, looks at me with the projector down off the ceiling, metric socket wrenches, screwdrivers, and Sony manuals spread out all over the table and she says, "Do you want me to do it?"
I was flaberghasted. I just howled with laughter.

Re: Wife sent my Criterion back to Blockbuster
Though I understand the humor in the situation, I hope you didn't literally laugh in her face. You still have a relationship to maintain and it's little moments like this that can build up and become a boulder down the road. At least she was offering to help.

Re: Wife sent my Criterion back to Blockbuster
First thing I thought of was this thread
Today only, rent Abduction with Taylor Lautner for just $0.99.

Re: Wife sent my Criterion back to Blockbuster
And here I thought Abduction was a teen-safe, mainstream thriller. Little did I know that it apparently has extensive frot scenes.
