Simon Pegg Doesn't Want Us To Buy His DVD • Simon Pegg and Robert Weide are mad that the US version of the DVD of their movie, How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, doesn't have their chosen bonus material on it, so they're all "Don't buy it, guys, for real." DEAL. (Zing.) We still might Netflix it out of a mixture of curiosity and contrarian-ness, though.

Tropic Thunder Solves Its R-Word Problem With A DVD Extra

It was a big deal for a while last summer when Tropic Thunder released previews containing the scene where Robert Downey, Jr. urges Ben Stiller to "Never go full retard." I watched the DVD last night and was curious as to whether Paramount gave in to pressure from groups representing the intellectually disabled and took the scene out (which would have been lame, in my opinion, though the entire brouhaha was pretty predictable on the part of the studio.) The line stayed in, but when you go to watch the DVD extras, the first thing you see is this PSA, without any explanation as to why it's there:

Who's Buying All This Dark Knight

The DVD for The Dark Knight came out on Tuesday, and it continues to break all the records. According to /film, it sold 600,000 copies on Blu Ray alone, making it the highest debuting Blu Ray DVD in history, whatever that means. Like the ocean? Ocean movies? Because it sounds like you're talking about ocean movies. But even more importantly, it sold 3 million Regular Ray copies on Tuesday and is on target to sell as many as 7 million by the end of the week. That is so many DVDs! Who knew we were such a country of total vidheads. We love those vids. Give 'em!

Now, obviously, The Dark Knight is a great movie and we should all have called in sick on Tuesday claiming that we couldn't work due to "hosting a live event" and stayed home and watched it, but that is so many copies of a DVD that it still begs the question: who's buying all this Dark Knight?

Releasing This Week On Netflix: The Fucking Apocalypse

Uh, I'm noticing a theme this week in the long-ass list of Netflix New Releases: the Rapture and the end of the world and, especially, the Anti-Christ! Something tells me the fundamentalist Christian companies/ministries who finally released these old propaganda movies chose this date in history for a reason. Clearly some people out there think that what's happening in our country right now is the event-movie equivalent of the year 2000. What I'm trying to say here is: they think they can make some money off the other loons who also think Obama is the Anti-Christ. There's just no other explanation for these titles:
