Every Star Wars fan knows you're supposed to end your sentence with four dots....

 

[furystorm]

I abhor four dot ellipses. I have a typography background, and also close my eyes whenever the end of the crawl comes up. It seems obvious that the forced fourth dot is there to complete the full justification of the text.

Did preorder both Anatomy and World on a Wire blu from Amazon for $16.xx each, as they both have the wrong suggested retail price.

Every Star Wars fan knows you're supposed to end your sentence with four dots....

And how ironic that Return of the Jedi, the film that actually ends the saga, ends with three...

Next year, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will bring To Kill a Mockingbird to Blu-ray. One of the most beloved American films ever made, director Robert Mulligan's adaptation of Harper Lee's novel stars Gregory Peck (The Guns of Navarone) as Atticus Finch, an Alabama lawyer who defends an African-American man accused of raping a white woman. Finch's legal efforts profoundly impact his two young children who are already struggling with the challenges of early adolescence.

The winner of three Academy Awards - Best Actor: Gregory Peck; Best Art Direction: Alexander Golitzen, Henry Bumstead, & Oliver Emert; and Best Adapted Screenplay: Horton Foote - To Kill a Mockingbird also features James Anderson (Little Big Man), Frank Overton (Star Trek: The Original Series), Brock Peters (Soylent Green), William Windom (Planes, Trains & Automobiles), and, in his feature-film debut, Robert Duvall (Lonesome Dove).

Newly restored from high resolution 35MM original film elements, Universal's Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack presents the film in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 with both 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and 2.0 DTS audio tracks.
