Well DARN...how can that be, I wonder? They make different versions? Maybe...come to think of it, I have had plenty of Netflix movies that didn't have any special features.
RATS.

God David, you've got to be kidding me! No extras at all? What a bunch of cheapskates!
I think I watched The Terminal on Showtime or HBO several years back. I don't think I rented it on DVD. I wonder if the store bought DVDs also lack extras? :-\

Amanda and all,
I have TiVo, and one of the things on it is a game called Wordsmith. It's a sort of Scrabble-like game for one person, where you have to make words out of the bunch of letters they give you. I enjoy it very much, and the game's bank of words it "knows" and accepts is very impressive. It's very up to date and very thorough. I was playing it a couple of days ago, and saw that I could make the word "LEET." I tried it, and it accepted it!!!
I thought about posting this in the "Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life" thread, but decided it's really more of a post count topic than a Brokieism topic.
:)

Clarissa, it actually knew the word "leet"? Did it provide a definition for "leet"? Something like, "a word used to confuse BetterMostians when they post their 1337 message"?
I wonder what the actual definition of "leet" is? ???

From Wikipedia...
Leet or Leetspeak (often written in Leet as 1337 or 13375p34k, or 13375p33|<) is a writing system used primarily on the Internet, particularly on IRC but nowadays also in online games such as Counter-Strike, RuneScape, Ragnarok Online, and Team Fortress. The term itself is derived from the word Elite, meaning “better than the rest,” and generally has the same meaning when referring to the hacking skills of another person.
Leet can be defined as the perturbation or modification of written text. For example, the term leet itself is often written l33t, or 1337, and many other variations.[1] Such perturbations are frequently referred to as “Leetspeak”. In addition to modification of standard language, new colloquialisms have been added to the parlance. It is also important to note that Leet itself is not solely based upon one language or character set. Greek, Russian, Chinese, and other languages have been subjected to the Leet variety. As such, while it may be referred to as a “cipher,” a “dialect,” or a “language,” Leet does not fit squarely into any of these categories.
