Phil-Have you ever seen this movie? it is possibly the best movie ever made and still to this day a very influential part of our culture. If you want to trash this movie, this is not the place to do it.
Personally, i think i will have to stand in line at 12:00 at night on its release date to get it. Anyone know the final date of release for this?
