 Left me rephrase what I think I heard him say.

I believe what Darren has taken 6 or so posts to state that he is
basically a video snob who would rather not watch anything that has a
risk of not showing off the capabilities of his High Definition
TV--Errr Video Display Pro-Home Hyperdrive VIDAUR System.

By his statements, I assume that he disdains all basically all NASA
released media, finds the Martian Rover frames insufferable and would
never ever watch those grainy low quality moonwalk videos taken by
amateur videographer mopic guys.

I'm putting my $$$s down for the scientific edification it provides me.
I've an old fashion DVD that I am not worried about harming by playing
"vacation videos"-- Even if it dosen't have a trailer and didn't get a
invitation to Cannes, I am looking forward to screening it.

Lighten up Folks! Pop some corn, put your feet up, turn down the lights
-- the flick starts in 5....4....3....2...1..( Fade in: pan far to near
over a great sea of sand, pan down to convoy of land rovers being
pursued under fire from the Indigenous Forces, theme from "The Rat
Patrol " building to a crescendo...Cut to closeup of Steve "Indiana
Jones" Arnold on his camel "YEEEE Hod" as they leap from the back of
one of the land rovers with hs translator and ever present sidekick ,
Akmed, hanging on to the tail...space rocks spilling everywhere.... The
saga continues..)
