So, for the big wigs to suddenly shift gears and start putting actually *decent* movies direct to DVD, it could backfire, in that people will see that, feel disappointed, and just not bother with the DVD. I have the feeling that would be the reaction in all but the staunchest fans (for instance… if Meat Train were only available on video cassette, and it was a shitty copy filmed during a focus group screening, with the edges cut off and crappy audio… I know Dave3 would STILL pay large sums of money to see it… some things are just a given).

As for Meat Train itself… Damn.

In this case, I REALLY hope that it’s a financial decision, and not a quality decision… because I was really looking forward to Kitamura’s first english language flick being a hit. I’m hoping it’s more “Alive” than “Versus.”
