I'm worried it's not gonna hold up on DVD. by Ice Cream Jonsey 07/28/2009, 10:32pm PDT

But when I downloaded it a few weeks ago I found it really boring and basically a bad movie. The soundtrack is absolutely the the pits. Even Leonard Cohen thinks everyone should just get over Hallelujah already. I was probably just primed by having read the comic before I saw it the first time. My enjoyment was incorrect. :(


I'd get this the first day of its release, but DVDs have done two things to make me distrust them:

1) DVD designers have gone out of their way to make DVD menus the main source of frustration in my existence.
2) They can call the current release a Director's Cut, but they all fucking lie, and I know there will be a better release someday. The money-grubbing pieces of shit that have come before have ruined it for everyone.
3) I'm worried it's not going to hold up on DVD. I also have a shitty 32" WEGA CRT as a television that makes all movies look worse.

Okay, I fucked up my list. It belongs in a Peter King column, not here.
