OH Yeah, I should let you know some single films are longer than 2-3 hours you mention you would be embarassed of. I just watched Scorcese's CASINO (1995) this week on DVD and that was 3 hours for just the movie and the bonus materials were another hour and half. Thats 4.5 hours right there for just one film and ALL of it was superb, the time was well spent, and it was on a home theater, not a "boob tube". The ntsc sets are boob tubes, not mine! :) jco

I think the 2-3 hours average I spend in front of the box is too much. I'd be embarrassed to own up to that. Dave At 11:12 AM 18/12/2006, J. C.
