dangermousieLooking at the amazon reviews for Gone With The Wind (the movie), I was interested to note, that WB has cheated us in their new collector's-edition DVD by:
a. Not presenting the movie in a wide-screen format (except for the minor problem of it not existing at the time!)
b. Not having Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh do a commentary on the movie (which would have been delightful indeed, except for the insignificant fact of the two of them being dead for 40 or so years).
Also, did you know that Gone With The Wind is all about the right to bear arms and the rightness of distrusting the government? Me neither.
In addition, Gone With The Wind sucks as a comedy. It's not very funny. Of course, that is if you assume it's supposed to be one. Personally, I find civil wars, starvation, loss of a child, and a really destructive relationship hilarious...

I never realized, btw, that Vivien Leigh died so long ago, at such a young age.
Yeah, she died in 1967. She was only in her 50s.

Why, you ask? Because they're DEAD. And if they had the time to come back and do a silly commentary, then who knows what they might do to the people watching said commentary!
