I'll wait for the Criterion Collection DVD to come out.

Lots of behind the scenes quotes:

"Well-- it *could* have happened! And now I have a twelve year supply of duct tape and tuna, to boot!"

"Oh, it happened all right-- you're just too doped up due to the chem trails to see it!"

"No-- it's just for emergencies and it's never even been loaded. (BLAM!) Oops."

"Dammit! I'd been practicing Grand Theft Auto XXVII for years, and it was all for nothing!"
