As mentioned by Dave the other day, the original original Star Wars movies have been released on dvd. Yes, the actual theatrical releases, as opposed to the Star Wars Fantasia collection of releases where each version was different, but not the original. But as he also mentions, they are in letterbox format not widescreen. So I'm still in two minds about whether to buy them or not. I have refused to buy the Star Wars films on dvd until I could get the theatrical versions. Well now they are out, but the question is, will they ever release a widescreen version? Big W has all three of them in two-dvd sets - a newer version with commentaries, and the original theatrical release, both letterbox format - for $20 each, but labelled "limited edition" ... if I don't act now will I miss out forever? The dilema....

Why do they advertise movies as "Only in cinemas"?? Because there's no such thing. A few weeks or months later it'll be "only on dvd" and a few months after that on tv.
Except Disney movies that never make it free-to-air. And ET which took ten years to make it to television.
Has anyone *ever* heard of a movie that's been on "only in cinemas" ?
Finally watched Along Came Polly tonight. This was one of the movies on the plane on the way back from america in 2004. Mum watched it, but I think I was watching the second half of Return of the King or something. Not too bad, for a Ben Stiller movie. Or maybe it was just the wines I had... heheh .. and never realised that Jennifer Aniston's nose was that big... hrm.... heheheh ...
ok sorry .. ;)
um
also didn't realise that Hank Azaria was Claude until looking at IMDB just now... and Alec Baldwin was looking old....
ok so it really all was very silly :)
but then, it was a Ben Stiller movie... :)
ok I should shut up now.. :)

Snuggling with the love of your life, going for a drive to little country towns, taking cool photos, watching Star Trek, going shopping, cooking nice food, watching movies, drinking wine and mint baileys, and going to bed with the love of your life.

Decided to leave after peak hour tonight to avoid the long weekend escape. Well that theory was ruined by someone that rolled their car. And brought the M5 to a standstill. *sigh*
But got here eventually and Stu was watching Return of the Jedi on dvd. Every time I watch these movies I find more things to pick on. Sometimes when I commented on something, Stu would say it was based on a true story, heh :) Silly really. :) (ok so you probably had to be there :) )
And this won't mean anything to anyone else, but was listening to Saint-Saens Symphony Number 3 in the car and my favouritest bit of it came on just as I came over the hill on Horse Park Drive that has a view of the north of Canberra and Black Mountain Tower.. It was very *very* cool, for me at least :)
