My wife loves cooking, she will spend that much money to prepare one/two dishes. She bought a pressure cooker for hundreds dollar just to cook a half kilo meat once and forget it for a very long time.
One night she prepared a dinner. After a long process, I was so starving and finally said to her "the steak from the restaurant in the corner is taste better let us just buy from there. And we don't need to buy that pricey cooker".
She was mad.
In another night I invited her to watch my precious Super 8mm movie collection "Star Wars". I set up the small theatre, moved some furniture, cleaned the film before hand, and finally set up the projector. A minute before it started, I just realized this movie was in scope, so I hold a presentation for a minute or two, took my scope lens and got it ready. Voila!
Movie was now playing, but I found the focus was just not right, I said "Can I stop the film for a minute, dear". She nod, and quickly I ran to the projector and tried to find the best focus on the screen. It was really hard to get the right focus since I was using 1.0 Elmo main lens so it took 3 minutes.
Finally she got fed up and said "just turn on your DVD please, watch from TV"
And I got mad....
So...that is sane or insane clause?
ps: I told many times here that for me collecting super 8mm film was not for enjoying the quality of pictures but more for my notalgic and sentimental reasons.
This is an hobby so is supposed to make us happy ...enjoy it. This will make our live even longer. The happiness enzyme produced by our body will contribute to a longer live. Although the above story is fictional, but in 2011 I bought my Star Wars F/L for $150 when the market price was already $800-1000.... and this what make me happy.
In reality, until now I just screened it once
cheers,
