    Sir,
    @ 11:10 You said that Andy spent two (2) weeks in solitary confinement. (aka the hole) He actually spent two (2) months. But I do have one question. When the warden comes to see Andy after the first 30 days, how is it possible that he is clean-shaven with no access to a razor? As for me, 3 days is too long to go without a shave.

    The name Red was pretty good for Morgan. When I was in school in the 60s and 70s , darker skin black people would call the lighter skin blacks Red as a nickname. Always figured that's how Red Foxx got that name also.

    Um… I started watching this because it said it was posted an hour ago. Not long into it, I realized I'd already seen this. Yes, you guys posted this same video 7 months ago. What is going on?

    There are movies that for whatever reason I decided to avoid, then get stuck watching them on West Coast USA to Europe flights. The two that come to mind are Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption, both of which I sat there after the first viewing feeling like a total idiot. Of course with an 11 hour flight I got to watch them a few times.
