I was thinking the same thing but the 'wait lines' to download the buggers
can take days, if you're lucky and don't have to restart.  Hm, {looks left
and then right} I'm in line for the theater camera version now but only
one guy has it up on IRC.  Yes, yes, illegal and all, but for comparison
purposes, I'm curious and I've plopped down money for legal COS DVDs.

Ugh, I know.  For a moment, I was wondering if they also altered the
*speed* during some scenes.  Though, HBO/Cinemax have been good about
keeping the movie intact, even if it's the fullscreen version.

Still, I stand by my previous comment of being amused with ABC's airing a
'diet' commercial and then cutting to the feast scene with that big
platter of chicken and the kids stuffing their faces. {g}
