How to frack a DVD Release

Filed under: TV & Media — Cardoso @ 4:43 pm

I’ll not purchase the Brazilian Battlestar Galactica DVDs.

That’s US$65.00 they’ll not see. I don’t give my money to people who don’t respect me, and Universal Pictures don’t give a frack to brazilian fans.

Both packs (1st and 2dn season) lack extras, and only the premiere episodes are widescreen. The rest of the seasons are fullscreen. Come on, we’re in 2007, who the frack watches (and likes) fullscreen?

Not Science Fiction geeks, I’m sure.

Oh, it gets worse. Sound. Remember, fracking lucky American fans? Those AMAZING sound FX, the heart-pounding score, Adama yelling “DO YOUR JOB!!!!” echoing around your lovely Dolby Extra Special 5.1 THX-Certified Sound System? Well, forget it.

The brazilian edition is Dolby Digital 2.0. BOTH Portuguese AND English soundtracks.

Ready to say “go frack yourself” to Universal? So let me ice your cake…

The last episode was cut, from all it’s 1h40min glory to a puny 42minutes.

What will I do?

Well, I’ll buy the imported version IF and WHEN I find it at a reasonable price, probably using a friend living in the USA, and mail a copy of the receipt to the local Universal Pictures office. “Better luck next time, motherfrackers”.

OK, may be not Atlantis, but what about a secret underwater government facility, used to plot evil… goverment plans?
