George C. Scott Does Not Approve of the Star Wars Blu-Rays
When you start the day on such a somber note, there’s only one thing you can do: Make fun of the Star Wars Blu-rays some more.
Here’s veteran actor George C. Scott sits down to watch the new Special Editions, and has what I feel is a very reasonable response. FYI, my boss is buying me the Blu-rays so 1) I can review them on TR and 2) no one can accuse me of spending my own money on them. I assume Amazon will get me the set on Friday, when they’re officially released, which means my review will be up on next Monday. You know, in case you need to know what a fat nerd thinks before you purchase ’em. Thanks to Scott S. for the tip.
