shadowlightMal: "hey, Sally, 'Watchmen' coming out on DVD July 21st!"
Sally: "Mal, you spent a solid month complaining about that movie. Don't tell you're going to buy a copy."
Mal: "It wasn't all complaining. There were good points in the film."
Sally: "All that's going to happen if you buy the DVD is this: One, you'll listen to the Commentary and find out the stuff you thought were 'mistakes' were actually done *intentionally*, because they understood the original, but they thought they could do 'better' than the greatest comics writer of the 1980s. ...and two, you'll sit on your couch and go through the whole thing, picking apart every last detail, frame by frame like the Zapruder film."
Mal:"So, what if I *want* to go through it like the Zapruder film?? What's wrong with that? I-- hey, is the Zapruder film on DVD? 'cause I've got 2 weeks to wait."
Sally: "I dunno. You can probably download it off the internet. If it is DVD, watch out for the alternate endings feature. It doesn't actually rewrite history. "
