Guess it wouldn’t be the holiday season without a problem on a major studio DVD release. Universal’s Back to the Future Trilogy DVD set contains all three films on disc, as you know. But what you may not know is that the widescreenversions of Back to the Future 2 & 3 on the set are mis-framed (badly or not depending on who you ask). But word is Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale aren’t happy, and so Universal is going to be addressing the issue in the new year with replacement discs for those who want them. The corrected discs will be available in late February – call (888) 703-0010 for all the details.
I’m not even going to comment on the fact that Universal is knowingly selling mis-produced discs to make its holiday sales numbers, hoping that most of you will never notice the problem. The studio has decided, in its wisdom, to stop providing review copies of its new titles to many (if not all) review publications. So if you’re wondering why there are so few reviews of the set online and in print, it’s ’cause Universal apparently wants it that way. For our part here at The Digital Bits, we will no longer be reviewing ANY Universal DVD product until they change this policy.
Anyway, if you’re a fan of Back to the Future, and you haven’t picked up the set yet, buyer beware. Stay tuned…
Fan-fucking-tastic. Well, if you’re like me, and you’ve already purchased this long-awaited set (either for yourself or a loved one), keep that phone number handy…
Oh, Universal? [EXPLETIVE DELETED], you stupid [EXPLETIVE DELETED] [EXPLETIVE DELETED] [EXPLETIVE DELETED] !!!!
