The Fleecing of America
Hot Fuzz is coming out this week. Ordinarily, I would be celebrating. But, America is getting screwed. Screwed by the evil Universal Pictures, a subsidiary of the awesome NBC Universal.
See, the American release of Hot Fuzz is nerfed. In the UK, they get a 2 disc Special Edition. A 2 disc Special Edition of Awesomeness. The US release is missing the 2nd Disc and some assorted commentaries.
From Wikipedia –
Disc two contains 22 deleted scenes with optional commentary, a making of documentary, 13 video blogs, featurettes, plot holes and comparisons, special effects feature, galleries and some hidden easter eggs. The DVD also features Wright’s last amateur film Dead Right which he described as “Hot Fuzz without the budget”. A making of Dead Right is also included on the second disc.
You believe that? All that is missing from the US release…….unless you get the HD DVD release. That’s right. Universal, the only major distributor that isn’t releasing Blu-Ray titles, has made it so I’ll only see all the special features only if I buy the HD DVD version. Yep, I call it extortion.
And anyways, HD DVD’s time on earth is limited. Blu Ray will eventually win. I’ve seen it.

do you see? do you see how Apple makes people lose all sense of reason? If Chris had been on a PC, he would have been in his right mind and not typed off nutty rubbish as above.

You know what I found out, Chris never even used his Macbook. He bought it and then sold it on eBay. Never took it out of the box. You can’t blame Apple on this one
