Picked this up and I'm just watching it. Wow!
This film has NEVER looked this good. I am 7 again!
I remember a precocious me explaining to my Dad the difference between a computer and my Atari 2600. My dad remembered that conversation and a few years later got me my first "computer"...a Dragon 32.

2 of my alter's. One an actor (Game of Thrones no less), & the other helped arrest Lee Harvey Oswald.
I've talked with one of them, obviously the actor, as I kept getting his scripts. My email address has a dot between forename & surname, his doesn't.
It's ok though, I'm used to talking to myself.
