I love DVD and would love for everyone to buy one (It's the fastest growing consumer electronic item EVER!) but all I really care about is that View Askew fans see all the extra work that goes into making a DVD like they do. Mallrats is a great example, it was made from day one to be a DVD (Same with DogmaSE I'm assuming) the other two are still very cool but are really just transfers of Laserdisc to DVD. Laserdiscs were very cool but DVD has a lot more potential and you don't have to get up in the middle of the movie to flip/change the disc(Unless you have the old Se7ev or Goodfellas on DVD)
I forget my point, Just if you get a chance to see it with a friends DVD player (Dick or Soldier Whomever they are) then you get to see the cool extras!
I had a great Chistmas no DVD related gifts but I think that's because everyone who knows me knows I get just about everything a man could want in terms of DVD.
"Merry Fucking Chirtsmas to all, and to all you Bastards a Goodnight!"

: That's me on the far right (black dude)
: Always nice to hear from you Walt, I hope you have a very merry christmas!
: : Or why not just rent a player just to watch the few DVDs you have?
: Well during 2 and 3 periods during school, me and my friends all go to a guys house and we watch DVDs there. DIck on thurs and Soilder on fri. But now that school is over, I have to wait and see.
: : (VHS may still rule but VA DVDs are very cool!)
: I know, I'll probably end up buying both DVDs and VHS' (my friend got me Dogma on VHS)
: It's hard for me to get a DVD player cuz I don't have a job due to me not having any time. I go to school in a different city (high school) and it takes about 2hr each way every day. schools from 8 - 2:45 and I have to sit at 5. sux I know.
: But next year will be different. I will offically get a DVD player by hook or by crook (don't worry nothing illegal). Well 1 down, many more to go.
: Merry Christmas! once again
