After 14 years, I finally got my hands on a WIDESCREEN version of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane!!! Regardless of what folks might think about Andrew Dice Clay, I simply love this movie and even actually drove to Vermont when it first came out on Video simply because it wasn’t available in Canada. Since that time, I’ve looked for a Widescreen version (WS, of course, being MUCH better than PnS) to no avail. Today, out of pure luck, I was at Metro Video and looked in to see it on DVD… for a measly $9 !!!!!! Woah! 🙂
Strangely enough, just earlier this week I was talking with Chantale about the FIRST Birthday Movie we saw together, remembering how we had spent the day. It was A Midsummer’s Night Dream back in 99. The next one was The Mummy. But, it was really the ’99 movie we were discussing, remembering the really nice day it had turned out to be and how we spent it. Actually, later that year when I was working for NETE and was in Vancouver for a week to work on the Ships, I picked up a special version of the book as a gift for Chantale. What can I say, Shakespeare has a lot of meaning for us as a couple 🙂 Again, I own the movie on video but really wanted a WS version since so much beautiful scenery is lost in PnS. Again, as luck would have it, Metro Video was selling it for $9 as well. Yay! 🙂
Now, normally, I avoid Metro Video because ALL the new releases they carry can be purchased for 2 to 4 dollars cheaper at other stores. But, I do admit they sometimes surprise me with deals like this 🙂 So, besides the fact that at minus 41C we’re all freezing our buns off, this can be considered a good day 🙂
