Yeah, now that I think about it, there was a really good documentary about the early days of Nintendo. I think it was found on the website The Hylia. I recently rented the movie on vhs and seeing that documentary really helped me understand some of the things in the film like the power glove (it really was "so bad") and the game counselors who could talk about anything for a price. I liked the movie enough that I convinced the store owner to sell it to me for $9.99 which is what it would cost them to replace with the dvd. The picture on vhs is already pretty good, I didn't see the point of buying a dvd over vhs when it doesn't have any extras or even scene selection, something that is ridiculously easy for me to do with my home videos. And I'm pretty sure the movie was open matte as every thing seemed to fit fine between the sides. Some of the scenes looked like they had no room to chop off the top and bottom anyway. There really was no point to get a dvd that had no scene selection and gained nothing by being in widescreen, surely the laserdisc must have had chapter stops?
