Serenity CE
Aug. 21st, 2007 05:14 pmI *HATE* the box.
That's the first thing I have to say about it. And I may be the only person in the 'verse, but I'm not particularly thrilled with the artwork either - what 'art work' actually - it's just that same TAMADE picture of Serenity that keeps getting used Over. And. Over. And. OVER. Every-gorram-where IAMGETTINGSOSICKOFSEEINGIT!!!!
Overall, I have to say I'm not impressed yet... The box is retarded. Not only is it bigger (taller) than a standard DVD box, but it's this stupid cardboard foldover box thing that - for the record - DOESN'T keep dust out!! My discs were covered in dust and the box itself was full of pieces of torn cardboard! (what the hell was that about?) And half an inch of clear plastic to hold each dvd - c'mon! WTF! Extra packing space just to make it look big and special! It's bullshit. I can see a homemade DVD cover in my futer - double dvd plastic case and a sleek Serenity logo on the front, nice and simple and elegant - not to mention safe from dust! Grr arg.
Basically, it looks like the only thing that will be new to me on the disc is the new commentary - I've seen all the other deleted/extended/outake scenes either on the first DVD or the Australian version (via you tube and elsewhere)... They didn't even bother to spruce up the menus!!! I mean, c'mon! It's a COLLECTOR'S EDITION!! Give us something worth collecting here... But no, the same style of menues as on the original disc, but instead of pictures bursting out the middle of the screen, we get~!!!!! - oh, yay - that same old picture of Serenity AGAIN, only with very phoney looking smokey stuff coming out of the engines while it sloooooowly drifts by.
So basically I shelled out $22 for a new commentary, and all I can say is, it better be damned good!!!
P.S. There was an add for QMx inside, that had the Serenity blueprints, and guess which picture of Serentiy is used for that? You guessed it! I swear to god, if I see that damned picture used again I'm gonna shoot something!!
