I'm not defending the studios by any means but this is the facts. Get
this....the studios actually wanna make money!! My god! That's
shocking! Alot of the time if you get a bare bones DVD release,
especially these days, it's either because a) The movie sucks and
doesn't deserve special treatment. b) It's a really small film from a
small company and they can't afford extras or just plain don't have
them! or lastly and in the case of Dogma c) they couldn't have the
special features done in time for the video release date.
Trust me folks, people get pissed when they can't rent a movie on
DVD the same day that movie is released on video cassette and vice
versa. It's business, and it actually makes sense whether you like it
or not. Here's some good advice, with Kevin's stuff you can pretty
much bank on the fact that he's gonna do a filled to the gills special
edition of any of his films on DVD so if you see any of his films come
out and it lists only the trailer under "Special Features" then put your
wallet back in your pocket and wait. Also a little research never hurts.
