Peeved at Lucas

melcharSo what else is new?
OK, so I'm disappointed with the 'episodes 1-3' Star Wars flicks. Fine. But I discovered a new depth of annoyance.
My momn is another Luddite. She has a VCR and does not want a DVD player. One of the gifts she DID ask for was 'Revenge of the Sith'. AHA! thought I - since -everything- else she wanted is exacting, specific and takes visiting a half-dozen stores to find.
And then I learned that Lucas has -refused- to allow 'Ep3' to be released on VHS. WTF? What sort of twisted mind -does- that?
So the ONLY way I can get my mom a prezzie she actually wants is to get the DVD, finds someone with a DVD/VCR player that can -tape- from DVD and do a copy for her that way. And it is thus highly unlikely that I'll be able to give her 'Sith' for Xmas. [sighs]
And DON'T get me started about trying to find 60"x90" rectangular, ivory-colored, all plastic tablecloths [not cloth-backed]!
