In my all mighty refusal to use anyone else's CSS, and my growing bordom with how it's already looked for the past, I don't care how long, I've decided to add a touch of CSS. Gonna redo the header image, so that it works better when expanded without having to repeat. Anyway, blah, I'm a no0b to CSS, but aside from that it's pretty easy. Oh well. I might try to do something a bit more awesome in the future. Right now I has things to do.

but before I do what I'm supposed to do, I'm going to make a quick rant on the oh so glorious 2-disk Special Edition Watchmen Director's Cut. In simple, two words say everything. "RIP OFF." But I'm not going to let it stay at simple. In terms of Director's Cuts, this is overall lacking. It comes with 24 extra minutes worth of footage that you don't get in the other DVDs. not sure if that means that footage was cut out from the theatrical release, as I notice no difference, or they went out of their way to remove something that was so utterly unimportant that it's hardly noticeable despite being nearly half an hour longer.

Moving on, it's mind blowing special features, which are hardly mind blowing and hardly special. We got a short documentary on how Watchmen, as WONDERFUL as it is, changed comics. There is no sarcasm here. I love the Watchmen, but the change it brought to comics, while an interesting change in pace sometimes seems to be more of a festering disease that has changed comics from preposterous to dull. Granted, it's a nice documentary that sums up everything you could easily read on Wikipedia. After that, we get 11 BS video journals that tell us how the movie was made,.... kinda. it's only bits and pieces, but overall nothing worth interest.

That leaves us with one crappy music video by My Chemical Romance. Sorry MCR fans, but I have an everlasting hatred of My Chemical Romance. Oh wait, I forgot ONE more thing. A digital copy! Oh great. I can download the movie and watch it without the DVD! Hooray. So, I get a crappy depraved version of what I want, a DVD that has some self righteous BS about how the director's got the sweetest tasting urine in the world complete with vitamin c, how the movie was made with never before scene technology that will revolutionize the movie industry, how the actors never read a comic in their lives, but loved watchmen since it came out in the 80s, and all the other garbage associated with special features DVD. Heck, even Daredevil came with better special features. I mean, we got SOME of this, but not enough to make me happy. (I'm now downloading the theatrical release from my special features.....yaaaaaaaaaaaawn)

Okay, so, not only that, I get something that absolutely infuriates me when I open it. A tiny slip of paper asking me to buy the "Watchmen Ultimate Collector's Edition" in December. A 5 disk DVD set with an addition of Tales of the Black Freighter" added to the directors cut, director commentary, and lord knows what else. Mind you, THERE IS NO COMMENTARY IN THE DIRECTORS CUT VERSION, DESPITE BEING SPECIAL EDITION. So overall, I wasted my money on a BS special edition that doesn't have anything of real value, when I could have waited for the amazing ultimate collectors edition.

Remember when movies like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Hellboy pulled this stunt? Know what makes them better than this sham? Their special edition disks actually had GREAT coverage of how the movie was made with wonderful documentaries, and practically EVERY boring thing you can think of that I find so wonderful. So back to my simple phrasing from earlier, this is a rip off.
