meletor_et_al: [link] -- CRYING NOW.
[13:03]phurie_dae: It's not that far away!
[13:04]meletor_et_al: BUT IT'S HIDEOUS
[13:04]phurie_dae: well...
[13:04]phurie_dae: Same world, different planet?
[13:04]phurie_dae: Have they even WATCHED the movie?
[13:05]meletor_et_al: no fucking idea. that's got to be a mock-up.
[13:05]meletor_et_al: I REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT.
[13:05]phurie_dae: The spine looks pretty! Maybe you can just cover up the front.
[13:06]meletor_et_al: well, yes, I am otherwise planning to print my own cover insert.
[13:06]meletor_et_al: DEAR SWEET LORD, THEY HAVE A PERFECTLY LOVELY SILHOUETTE POSTER.
[13:06]meletor_et_al: they used it for the soundtrack, and the book
[13:06]meletor_et_al: why abuse the DVD?
[13:06]meletor_et_al: it's not FAIR
[13:07]phurie_dae: They probably want people to think it's a comedy
[13:07]meletor_et_al: but the people who pick it up thinking it's a popcorn comedy will laugh, maybe enjoy it, but without *appreciation*
[13:07]meletor_et_al: it's *degrading*
[13:07]meletor_et_al: IT'S NOT FAIR.
[13:08]phurie_dae: I know *pets*
[13:08]meletor_et_al: I mean, don't they at least run these things past the filmmakers?
[13:08]meletor_et_al: that's not even an SPC way to *do* a DVD. I'm in so much denial.
[13:09]phurie_dae: Honestly? It's a money making thing, so I highly doubt it.
[13:09]meletor_et_al: but... posters! soundtrack! book tie-in!
[13:10]phurie_dae: It's still only available here in little artsy cinemas, I think.
[13:11]phurie_dae: So, really, it's not a mainstream film. They need to make DVD sales somehow.
[13:11]meletor_et_al: so why change that method so dramatically and whore it out like ... that!!? anyone who *would* have watched it as a random "let's watch something quirky tonight" art film *won't* in that packaging
[13:11]phurie_dae: Movie making people are shameless soulless gits.
[13:12]phurie_dae: *hug*
[13:13]meletor_et_al: but ok look at the quality of Irwin and Charlie. that's ... they don't even *look* like them. it's not possibly, possibly official. no way.
[13:13]phurie_dae: I thought that too
[13:15]meletor_et_al: amazon has it available for pre-order but with no image.
[13:16]meletor_et_al: that's slightly consoling
and then musings turned to happier things, such as Colin Firth and Nanny McPhee.
I'm okay.
