Maybe for movies it'd be
see it/wait for the dvd/fahgetaboutit
Hitch was definitely a wait-for-the-dvd just for the fun of
seeing contemporary actors ape old movie stars and production people.
Fahgetaboutit if you're looking for something closer to the source material,
which they were legally constrained to mirror scenes from the production of the movie and created silly cheats to workaround that. — December 25, 2012 7:35 p.m.
Afterimage: Lincoln
Easy. He likes 3+ endings, starting with CETK. A.I. was his worst offense, like waking up/going back to the same nightmare.— January 10, 2013 7:06 a.m.

Overheard at AMC Mission Valley
My favorite talk-back was from an old, crusty homeless guy, pores oozing booze at the Portage during 1996's "Fear."
