So far I have seen Pinocchio, Toy Story 3, Cinderella, 101 Dalmatians and other Disney features, all for free, on terrestrial English TV channels this Christmas. Yet I know for a fact, I will still probably spend at least a few hundred pounds next year pursuing the titles I don't already own!

Logic says we must all be mad I suppose, but though you can never fully put your finger on it, watching them as pixels just doesn't cut it somehow. That even includes the prints with the odd line here and there.

Now where is that white van and straight jacket again? Ha ha.

We are mad Andrew but film is much better.
I put Lady and the Tramp bluray on my big screen and got through the opening credits and turned it off and got the super8 print out, the digital versions are flat and have no life to them.

You can never predict what will happen in the future. We were supposed to eat pills in the years 2000 instead of real food and the opposite happened. People (in Europe anyway) go back to the kitchens, many shops offer now cooking lessons and tv programs about making good food attract a lot of people. A few days ago, a subject on the new showed that some people wanted to give real gifts for Christmas (like physical cds) because they were not happy with dematerilization. Will that be a large movment ? Will that affect one day film ? Nobody can answer but we can just hope :-)

I have to say Andrew, I prefer the old style of Disney cartoon, like 101 Dalmatians, they are somehow "quaint", slightly more magical, as for understanding the hobby for outsiders mate, I give up long ago trying to explain why we pay what we do for films, but I no more understand why anyone would pay £600.00 plus for a mobile phone ???, no one will ever justify that to me, ever. So that's makes us equal in madness doesn't it ?.

£80 phone,"pay as you go man" me, Paul, so I get exactly where you're at with that one mate! [Wink]

A phones a phone to me, nothing more.

As a £4.99 'pay as you go' man, £80 sounds a bit lavish to me!
