The Adventures of Movie Guy
Every day the Movie Guy visits the person sitting directly behind me in the office. This morning another of my co-workers described the Movie Guy as "a red wine stain on your brand new white carpet".
The Movie Guy actually works in my building as PC support, although that is usually another name for "the guy that loads software on your computer because you are not allowed or qualified to do it yourself". This alone is insulting since I work in IT and this guy was hired because he is "knowledgeable about Windows 2000 and XP".
Since his job mostly consists of hours of wasted time he has decided to take on a side project reviewing DVD movies for some website. He actually receives movies and TV Series box-sets prior to their release. I have never been to this website because I hear every little detail about each movie or TV series right from his mouth to the admin's ears.
I decided it was completely unfair of me NOT to share this with the world…..
TODAYS EPISODE: STAR TREK
Most of Movie Guy's comments the past month have been around Buffy, Buck Rogers or various video quality defects with DVD's he has noticed since he purchased his new High Def TV. This morning, however was a brand new rant about the Star Trek series DVD box set.
Apparently, the case for these DVD's is a replica of the starship Enterprise. This apparently has a few flaws itself. (Note: this is the first review of a DVD case I have ever heard). This case is a little larger than your average case, so it will "stick out about an inch" when you put it in your DVD case. There's more! The series is broken up by season and each season has the same case and the cases are the SAME COLOR!
"My God, you have to actually read the box to tell which one is which!" – Movie Guy
Another major faux pa: The entire box set is for "Star Trek Enterprise", but as Movie Guy deftly explains to everyone within hearing range it was only called "Star Trek" for the first 2 Seasons!!!
PART OF THE INDUSTRY
Movie Guy also critiques the added features of these DVDs and always reviews the bonus Director's comments and such as if HE were actually there. Yup, Movie guy knows all: "The Studio originally wanted "Joe Blow" for the Back To the Future movies, but the director told them "I want Michael J. Fox. He is our guy". Of course, Michael was still shooting Growing Pains so they had to wait until he was done in production with that before he could start the movie."
STAY TUNED
Don't touch that Back Button! I'll keep you posted…..
