interesting… and cute!
Gage is addicted to A New Hope. To the point that the tape is wearing out. Of course, these aren’t new tapes. We got them at a pawn shop 5 or 6 years ago, and it’s the box set of the original theatrical release (digitally remastered) that was released 10 or so years ago. So definitely not new.
Anytime I’ve tried to put Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi in the VCR he’s ejected the tape and given me A New Hope to put in. So today I mixed them up, put the wrong movie in each case to see if I could get him to watch Empire or Jedi. He got home, pulled out A New Hope, looked at it, and then pulled the other two movies out of the cases and put them back in the correct cases.
Now I just need to figure out if he’s actually reading the title on the tapes, or of he’s just memorized the shape of the letters. Probably the latter, but the former wouldn’t surprise me. I did manage to get Empire in the VCR while he wasn’t looking. When the George Lucas interview started he gave me this look like “Do you really think you fooled me?”
