Boycott Special Edition DVD's - I know you can do it
Time
People - just don't buy the DVD. It's as simple as that. We all know the films backwards anyway. It's not like we're going to miss anything. The OT are a great set of movies that hold a dear place in my heart, and to be perfectly honest, I think the youth of today (listen to me, I sound like an old age pensioner, but I'm only 34) is a little spoiled by the all-singing, all-dancing DVD releases. I mean, what made a film your favourite? Now think hard about this. What made you really look forward to watching a movie? Action sequences, explosions, chases, smooching. All o' that stuff. But maybe the most important reason is that you knew that if you missed it at the cinema (or on TV) you wouldn't be able to see it again for maybe a year or two. What I'm trying to say is that too much over exposure can be a bad thing. Does it really matter that the OT isn't available on DVD? Will it really affect your life that much? Hey, I'm a big Star Wars fan too, don't get me wrong, but I haven't seen A New Hope since around the late 90's.
And do you know what? The next time I happen to accidentaly catch it on TV or Sky or whatever, I'll hear the opening chords of the music, and I'll be excited...
I'm sorry, but reading back my post, I seem to have rambled slightly, like an alcoholic Aunt at a wedding. I think my taxi is here....

For Sale: Dipping my toe in the selling market
Time

Hi folks.
I have in my possesion a very nice cast & crew t-shirt which was given to me a long time ago. It’s been in the bottom of my sock drawer for the last 10 years. I’ve been kind of tempted to sell it for a while, but it holds a lot of sentimental value. If anyone is interested, I’ll tell the whole long-drawn out story…but not now. Maybe later. The very nice Mr. Pete Vilmur at toysrgus.com told me I could expect to fetch $100 to $200 for it if I were to sell it. Do you guys think thats about right? I would appreciate some feedback on this. You can take a look at it on http://www.toysrgus.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=35862
Thanks again.
Sean.
