Whoa, that's really interesting about the hand-holding. I never paid attention to that yet I think I am getting the visual of it from somewhere in my memory...
I actually haven't watched the DVD yet -- and it's killing me! I've owned it since April 4th, the first day I could get my hands on a copy, and I haven't put it yet because I am being very particular about my next viewing: I want it to be at night, I want to be completely alone, I want control of the largest TV I own, I want to be able to have time to watch it and not have to worry about awakening the next morning for class or anything, etc. etc.
I may not get a chance until next weekend. If that's the case, I intend to re-read the short story and the three essays in the Story to Screenplay book to fill the BBM void.
