And There Was Much Rejoicing
AHA! Barnes and Noble finally came through!
That’s right, dudes, I now own a “Diamond Edition” Blu-ray copy of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, one of the best movies ever made. This is significant, because before this day my only copy of this movie was on Betamax. BETAMAX, DO YOU HEAR ME. You don’t even know what that is. And ever since then I’ve been foiled in my attempts to buy a copy that will play on something that is not a VCR bought in 1982, what with the time I tried to get a DVD from Amazon and it sent me a PIRATED COPY that wouldn’t play what the hell Amazon and the cursed Disney Vault bullshit. BUT NOW I OWN IT IN BLU-RAY, and you can bet your indoor plumbing that when they release the DVD version of the Diamond Edition next month I will own that too, because I am not spending another 20 years sitting around waiting for another anniversary.
Speaking of outdated media, this version contains something I remember renting in Laser Disc format:* the fascinating work-in-progress version, which from what I recall has the audio track intact, but which shifts back and forth from various animatics and storyboards. It’s really interesting to check out the process of making an animated movie.
WHICH I FINALLY HAVE. Now off to see if they have a copy on iTunes, because god dammit I will not get caught with outdated media for this movie again.
*We still have the Laser Disc player. We call it the Star Wars player, because we own exactly one movie trilogy in Laser Disc form. And now that George Lucas has “lost” the original copies of Star Wars, the Laser versions are actually the closest thing there is to the Star Wars theatrical releases.

I'm not even sure what the hell that means. Did he think watching Beauty and the Beast was going to turn people into Werewolves? Or was it just that it would make people more supportive of any Werewolves they happened to know?

Maybe the preacherdude was confused and was arguing against bestiality? Which is also stupid, but at least there's some connection?
Or he was just crazy. Probably that one.
