The first DVD has come to light

I was a junior in college in 1998. A good friend and I would ditch class several times a week and see movies, usually the matinee. (Sometimes this involved sneaking in for free, easy to do at the multiplex in our college town, or paying for one movie, watching it, then sneaking into a different movie later without paying.) We went to the theater/auditorium for *TBL* not expecting anything. (I knew it was a Coen movie, but other than seeing *Miller's Crossing* some time before, had no preconceived notions.) When *TBL* was done, I was like, "That was different, but good." It left an impression on me. Later, I grabbed a movie poster (I'm a collector), then when the movie released on DVD (2003) I grabbed two copies. This was one of them. The first U.S. DVD release, still shrink-wrapped. Anyway, I apologize, it's a long story, lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous. Fuck it, let's go bowling.
