Mhm!

A time to kill was the first DVD-movie I bought for myself and the second DVD-movie that ever got into my parent's house. (The first one was Not Another Teen Movie.) My family never meant to get a DVD-player - we were quite content with a VCR - so why did we get one? Well, this was because of me. I've been a fan of Futurama since the first ever episode. Actually I was a fan before that episode aswell because the first commercial for said episode made me hooked right away. I remember running to my sister's room in 2001 or 2002 screaming: "there's a new series coming out from Matt Groening - the guy behind the Simpsons!" and since she's just like me at times she got hooked just by me mentioning this. One or two weeks later on a Monday evening at 10:40pm we saw it and it was truly amazing. So what does this have to do with our DVD-player? Well, here in Sweden the only way to get the Futurama-series was to buy it on DVD. That was the only reason I wanted one, but since I'm fairly economical (at times) I knew it wasn't worth the investment since the VCR worked just as well. Then my parents' TV broke down so I striked a deal with them. "You can borrow my TV - if I get a DVD." Of course they agreed and hazaa - I could get Futurama. (After a trip to England in October 2002 I found the possibility of buying Futurama on VCR. That was very annoying.)
So back to A Time to Kill (in Swedish called Juryn - "the Jury"). I've seen it many times since I first got it, but today is the first time I realised that Kurtwood Smith was in it and his part doesn't go easily missed. In case you wonder - Kurtwood Smith plays Red Forman in That 70's Show. I can't believe I've missed that!
