Mega Python vs. Gatoroid tonight on SyFy

Asylum are pretty clever in their promotion, as are many other low budget cash in dvds.

I work in a high street music/DVD store, and what'll happen is when a film is in the cinema, they'll release their cash in DVD with front cover art and font design which is very similar to the cinema posters etc. Then you get a whole lot of daft people or people buying for others ("Aye this is for ma wee lassie!") who don't pay attention, just see that its £4.99 and think its a bargain.

I'm still surprised when I bring it to peoples attention and they're like "WHAT?!?!" and then you explain that its still in the cinema and they say they know and I give up on them....

The best one I saw was for Inglourious Basterds. When that was out in the cinema, they re-released the original film (with its very similar title), and had a dvd case with no pictures on it, big ol' nazi eagle on the front and looking cool. Then they had "QUENTIN TARANTINO" on the front cover on a sticker...with "an interview with" in very small writing around it. Apparently the company sold thousands of copies.

They ain't stupid.

I totally know this guy who was in this film. He plays a victim that gets stomped on... Big surprise.

I couldn't stop laughing all the way through. That catfight was the highlight of my week, you b***h!

Gotta wonder...do they learn from the politicians, or the other way round?

(For them what ain't familiure, Saneese sells cheap food, and it's make the only cheeseburgers that have never seen a cow.)
