There's really no need to randomly pick me. After all, I just received an e-mail message that I won US$15,000,000.27 in the Spanish National Lottery and I'll be able to buy, like, 10 copies of this DVD without raising a sweat. Man, life will be so good...

Blu-Ray would be appropriate for this movie, given the Good Doctor....

I'm 71 and I watched the landing in my Grandfather's apartment. He was born in 1885, on a farm in NE Ohio. As a young man, his idea of a cool ride was a pair of well matched horses and a tricked out carriage. He saw the advent of motorcars, airplanes, two world wars and then men landing on the moon. What an incredible journey.
