DVD fail.

Feb 09, 2009 18:32

So, Passchendaele was totally released on DVD six days ago and it takes until now to get it up on Amazon.ca? And it's 6-10 days for delivery? And not even a cover picture?

Man, they aren't making it easy to get those sales ( Read more... )

paul @#$%! gross, movies, wtf, passchendaele, consumerism

Epic fail. I'M SORRY PAUL. We want to buy it! We truly do! Your distributor is balls, though. I haven't seen any ads, either.

someone really ought to write a LETTER, but not me, cuz i am all letter-writed out. IT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S TURN. &hearts

LOL, what is the point about setting up a line of communication if you won't USE IT, Z?

P.S. did you ever send Bruce another letter? :P

Romance novely? stardragonca February 9 2009, 23:51:51 UTC

I saw it in the theatre.
How much do you wanna know?

Re: Romance novely? meresy February 9 2009, 23:52:28 UTC

I saw it at the premiere, and then again in theatre here. I know all. *g*

Re: Romance novely? stardragonca February 10 2009, 00:02:05 UTC

Oh, okay.
Yeah, my nephew's military unit was in it as extras, so I went to see it in Red Deer with my sister/his mom.

I thought it was very Canadian, in that everyone is VERY screwed up, but eventually does the right thing, except for the obligatory one pompous Englishman, who must of course end badly, badly.
(There is no place for a pompous Yank who must of course etc., because it wasn't really their war.)
I couldn't help thinking that the location shots where Alberta played Alberta looked fake, unless you know that Alberta really DOES look like that!

It was downright hearts and flowers for Canadian characters really. It was stoic screwed-upness, anyway.

And yeah, the middle bits were total Alberta porn.

Deeply pathetic. Makes one wonder if Canada really does resent Paul for his success. In any event, it makes me eight different kinds of cranky, because OMG WANT. I've been all patient and good and haven't even ahemmed it or anything. I wants my freakin' reward for good behavior an' I wants it NOW! *stompy foot of fannish hissyfit*

meresy February 9 2009, 23:57:49 UTC

I can buy you one!

malnpudl February 10 2009, 00:02:46 UTC

That would be all kinds of awesome, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. I was actually planning to support our boy by buying one of each, the Blu-Ray as a gift and the regular one for my ownself.

meresy February 10 2009, 00:09:16 UTC

I could do it! Unless you'd rather just order them up from HMV yourself (although I dunno if they ship to the States?) Or Amazon.ca, I guess.

I have seen ads for it!
I haunt the History Television, there are ads for it there.

I think I'll get one of each and call it futureproofing.

meresy February 10 2009, 00:22:19 UTC

Ah! That'd be because I totally don't get History Television. :P

Well, at least HMV seems to be carrying it. Amazon is NOT on the ball, though.

Can Blu-Ray players not play DVDs? Because that'd be balls. Retrocompatibility should be the rule, not a bonus.

bakaknight February 10 2009, 00:26:13 UTC

I have no idea.
I hope they can, though, because I don't want to have to re-buy all my DVDs -pokes them-

meresy February 10 2009, 00:28:12 UTC

Interweb seems to agree that they can. \o/
