Same here. My kids love the Indy movies, but my wife is not a huge fan.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I love the Indy movies and my wife has seen two of them and thought they were decent. Not her faves, but she can watch them. We were actually able to see Raiders on the big screen about three or four years ago. A local AMC was having retro movies once a week at midnight and we saw Raiders. Very noticeably old print, but cool nonetheless.

My wife cracked under pressure and told me that she bought me the Indy set for my birthday. Only a month and a half until I get it!!!!

Very cool. The new Best Buy has its Grand Opening on Saturday, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good price.

Get there as soon as you can. It's on sale this week for US$45.99. Dunno what the sale price in Canada is. But, (and again I don't know if this applies in Canada) Best Buy is including a fifth DVD of stuff for free for those who buy the box set. The one my wife picked up does have the fifth DVD so I'm kinda stoked. This may be the first time I ever really delve into special features on a DVD. I'm hoping that one of the behind the scenes features has that one that aired around the time Last Crusade came out that shows Harrison Ford pretending to staple his fedora to his head to keep it from coming off in the desert tank sequences. I remember watching that years ago and it cracked me up. Did anyone else see that featurette?

What is Future Shop? Just a movie/music store or is it a full-blown electronics store?

Full blown electronics. It was to Canada what Best Buy is to the States until BB bought it out.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Surprised BB hasn't done the name switch.

Yes, he was speaking on our behalf. Much like a lawyer would when he is defending a murderer. The lawyer isn't necessarily a murderer as well. Just speaking for him.

Thank you, DA Motti.
