Why is it that when a movie bombs in theatres, studios are still naive enough to release an "Unrated" version, with the assumption that people want to see MORE of an already horrible movie? So a few minutes were shaved off, if they were skilled filmmakers, they would have put EVERYTHING into the ultimate vision of their film, right?
Sorry, this is more of a rant than an actual topic. I just don't understand the marketing strategy behind pressing two versions of a movie on DVD that LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in theatres!?
Movies don't magically become Oscar material once they get a DVD transfer, much less the "Unrated" treatment.

Despite the obvious marketing that DVD covers now offer people like myself are drawn to the "Unrated", "Especial Edition", "Directors Cut" DVD's. I know is no big deal that they add 5 more minutes or that they have 6 different endings. But the attraction is still there. At times is irresistable not to buy the DVD. Is markerting thingy and studios know people like me will fall for the trap if they put something like "Unrated" on their DVD.

I am aware that "your" should be "you're," and while I know I should change it as not to offend the grammar fans around the boards, school always said not to bow to peer pressure so it stays as it is
Altough this movie didn't bomb, "Badder Santa" is an example of trying to hype up a dvd release. Badder Santa, as far as i could tell was no different than Bad Santa.
UNrated movies are sometimes good and they should have no promblem with leting it go on dvd.JM

i have a select few unrated/directors cut dvds and my favorite ones have to be the chronicles of riddick and daredevil,i have both versions of each of them and cor directors cut blows the original out of the water and the new daredevil with so much extra stuff does make it like a totally different movie,which is real weird now that i think about it?
