The Color Stupid

So the other night, we watched The Color Purple. I had never seen the whole movie & Joey just thought that was horrible, so he let us borrow it. Well, we put the DVD in, start watching it, & realize that things aren't quite making sense. For Spielberg, there were a lot of holes, but whatever, it all came together and after over an hr. it was done. Wait, only an hr. wasn't it supposed to last 3 hrs?? We couldn't figure it out, there was only 1 disc. But, then, we realized it was a double-sided disc! No one makes those anymore! So, we turned it over & started watching it from the start even though we were kind of worn out by it by then. So, needless to say, we have now watched The Color Purple but felt like idiots! I guess we need to check first!
