A lot of people don't understand the concepts of extracts and digests and think they should charge what people are paying for the full feature. (A 200 footer is about the size of a DVD: why shouldn't it hold the whole movie?!)

I always love the ones where somebody grabs a "rare" reel (which is really common as dirt...) and they put it up on E-bay for $25,000 (or whatever).

("This Super-8 Steamboat Willie was made in 1929 by Walt Disney himself!")

You can just imagine them cruising past the car dealerships sizing up what their new car will look like and imagining themselves driving it home next week.

-then they find out!

I've always liked that cover, though. It reminds me of the ads in the back pages of FM many moons ago. Remember The Captain Company?
