"of course this was before.. 1. cell phones 2.cgi 3. the Internet "
hey buddy , if a film was made in the Thirties we know there was no cgi sfx and pal, if you were protestin' the vietnam war, we know you didn't have the use of the Internet to organize protests and dummy, if you were lost in the wilderness on a hiking trip in the seventies we know didn't have a cell phone to call for help

Similarly: "in glorious Quicktime"
Plus, from DVD reviews, now Blu-Ray (which ought to be "Blue Ray", of course) reviews: the movie has never looked better! Apart from some unaccountable failures, a movie is bound to look better than before with each new technology; of course it looked better on dVD than on VHS, and of course it looks better on Blu-Ray than on DVD, and of course it looks better when re-scanned from cleaned up original negatives at twice the necessary resolution and restored with the nbest newest tools!
"journalists ' use this all the time. not only is it always used incorrectly i.e. no relation to the topic at hand but these writers never read Fitzgerald in their life ; guaranteed! bruce
