Bummer. You can buy the basic edition pretty cheap now that souped-up editions ("Special Edition With Flair") have been released.

As a Christmas gift last year I received the ultra edition from a friend who loves the movie as much as I do. It comes with, among other things, a Lumbergh coffee mug, a red stapler, and a pad of TPR forms. If you could just fill out that TPR form today, that would be great....


>A classic among classics. The only problem I have is that I used to work at Fox studios. They have great DVD prices in the employee store. I had to buy a copy of this one. But it sat on the shelf unopened for a while. I opened it a year after I had left Fox to find the DVD is damaged.

>>>I used to have a cartoon hanging on my wall at work. It was a single picture with a guy standing at a bus stop. Besides the bus sign there was another sign that read "On this spot, June 23, 1987, Edwin J. Wheeler said to heck with it and never went to work again".

>>>I used to stare at that comic and wonder about that often.

>>>>As discerning readers have noticed, I have been extremely unhappy with my job. Crappy company, crappy project, crappy boss. This morning I quit. Like most of us I am scared of the unknown but it feels so good to shed this job. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. For longer than I care to remember I have hated that job within two steps out of bed every morning.

>>>>What's next? No idea. The market is not exactly crawling with FoxPro jobs and that is the only thing I have demonstrable skills for. It's going to be a radical change. But hey, in every catastrophe there is opportunity, right? My two closest coworders said the same thing: this is an opportunity. And I am looking at it that way.

>>>>My daughters will not be here this weekend so I am going to indulge myself. I am leaving on the 2:48 train downtown and will revisit the Taste of Chicago. After that, the Westin on Michigan Ave. I could use a heavenly bed.
