"The contemporary audience is predominantly composed of people who do not even know how to watch a film. Born and raised on the undemanding medium of television, and subscribing to the Star Wars/Matrix/Transformers school of movies as merchandising blockbuster events, the bulk of the ADHD audience lacks the essential tools to process anything less than hyperkinetic pacing. About the only thing that pre-exists them that they can approach isStar Wars (1977). That is because this is where the rot set in. With this invention of a shameless George Lucas, movies as an entertaining art form received their first deathblow. It is no accident that the only film from the Star Wars franchise that holds up well as a film is the one that Lucas did not himself direct, The Empire Strikes Back, by Irvin Kershner. As expected, most people tend to forget that, because Lucas takes the lion’s share of credit."

DVD Region locking is almost Microsoft levels of "we're digging our feet in on this blatantly anti-consumer thing because most people will just find it easier to go along with it."
Further thought: the movie was interesting on two levels, because it's an adaptation of a good book, but also a showcase of what Chuck Jones was able to do with a movie budget and an hour and thirty minutes of runtime.
