Now I am intrigued and will have to get a 3rd copy ;)

I loaned my widescreen copy to a friend, but by day 3 or 4, it was really bugging me - just not having the boys home where they belonged, so I bought another widescreen.  (I know this isn't entirely sane behavior, but so it goes...)

I guess fullscreen is next!

I would happily sacrifice it all to get just one millimetre more of J&E goodness on to the screen (btw that's 1/25th of an inch for all you imperial dawgs out there).


I'm going to do it - get the full-screen version.  The format isn't so preccious to me that I'll lose all appreciation for the film by seeing it that way.  I have only watched my DVD once, but don't want to let it out of my sight.  Same with the book.  I just like knowing where it is, and that it's  here with me where my boys belong.

Hmmm...there are more than one of us suffering from this affliction, Chris  :D

Yeah, Lynne -

It's precious to me.  I don't need to keep watching it, since I know the movie so well.  I just need to have it nearby...

Wait till youi start scribbling a few lines, and it turns into a short story. MOst of our stories are "what if?" ones, which tear the tragedy happily to pieces, but some of us, like me, circumnavigate the action of the short story and play, and explain, prequel and sequel...it's a kind of 'when we say the name of those we deeply reverence, we never speak them whole." --"Orlando" (talking about Shakespeare, 3 centurties after she saw him, sitting at a table, thinking)

.

It is SUCH fun! Right now, I'm about to start reading about the Battle of Borodino, so I can canibalize my son's high school hstiory paper, that I typed for him...
