+ Just watched the Weight of the Line extra and ...cooool. Sometimes when I see people talking about what went into something so wonderful I can mist up a bit. (I studied character animation, so I was a bit more into it probably.)
At this moment I am so happy about this getting made. If Pan's Labrynth is not my favorite movie of the year, I will be surprised. If it ties with this one I might not be.

Jumping because- Did anyone else have trouble with disc? I put it it in the player before I turned the TV on and when I did (30 min later) it was already on the final credits and then switched over to the last scene and was pixellating like mad. It was a Netflix mass produced disc and I'm hoping that's it. Anyone watch the store bought disc? Any problems?
The other extra was awesome as fuck. Footage of PKD on French (I think) television, from an early sci fi con and talking about the book.
Holding off on the movie because my friend would rather watch it tomorrow and, well...I have seen it a lot of times. At this point, it's about watching it again with friends that haven't seen it yet. I don't know why that's so much fun, but it is.

I went to BB and saw it for $19.99, no first week discount, so went to WM and got it for $13.86. I watched it last night and it ran beautifully. I'm still viewing the Special Features....good stuff.

Yay!!! I'm up in the middle of the night. My boss gave me a bottle of wine for Ex-Mass (PC mutha-phuka) and I'm fixin' to enjoy this again (I can't wait to see the lil' vector cat that they show for a second).
Big ass
(To avoid Sir MixAlot confusion: This just means I am steeee-oked!)
(I love the score....a lot)
Oh yeah. I'm hopped up on coffee. The effects of the emotion driven wine and caffeine should add to this viewing. (I could wait...but I'm not gonna)

I have been to 2 best buy's and walmart and none of them had this in stock. BB said, " we only got a couple of copies in"! Dang it-wanted to pick this up locally but guess I'll have to order on line-
