Guess I'll actually get to see this one sooner than expected 
-- never saw it in the theaters due to mediocre-to-mixed comments/reviews.Just another amateur learning to paint w/ "the light of the world".

Just never made sense to me. |

But as it is now, it creates a continuity error between the two films.

. God, she was annoying. ToD must've gotten the bad ratings only because of her .

Don't think I'll be buying the BD (unless it hits the $5 bargain bin some day ). Besides, maybe this one will play better on DVD instead to help mask away all them wrinkles, etc. Ford (and Allen) looks awfully haggard for the character's age, if I got it right, though he doesn't look as old to me in the one or two interviews I saw briefly in the extras.Just another amateur learning to paint w/ "the light of the world".

. Maybe it's because Capshaw is much more annoying in ToD, but Karen Allen looks much hotter to me.
