I first watched Gone with the Wind when I was ten, so a good fifteen years ago. My family was visiting my grandmother who had taped several old movies off of t.v. two being Gone with the Wind and The African Queen. I chose the first, and popped it in the VCR residing the remainder of the day to watching a civilization gone with the wind {with limited commercial interruptions}. I had almost three hours invested into the movie, reaching Bonnie's horse jumping scene, I see Bonnie ride sidesaddle for the first time and see her start to jump, and then... the tape dyed. There was shocked silence, I was dumbfounded that not only had I spent my day enthralled by the film but to have it cut short at such a crucial moment. I was devastated. Later I learned that I was not alone in being jiped as my uncle was unable to complete watching The African Queen. I'm not sure if I will ever be able to forgive TBS.
