NEAR DARK DVD Re-Issue Panders to TWILIGHT Crowd.

Posted by Peter Hall - June 30th 2009 @ 7:00 am

I present to you for quick assessment two items.

Immediately below is Exhibit A, a side-by-side of the TWILIGHT DVD cover and that of the new re-issue disc for the 22 year old NEAR DARK due out from Lions Gate on July 7th. Below that is Exhibit B, a roughly 16 month view of the publicly traded stock price of Lions Gate Films (LGF).

Task: Note correlations between Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

I PRAY pre-teen girls rent NEAR DARK for a sleepover thinking it is TWILIGHT-esque. I can only imagine how their “special parts” will tingle when Lance Henrickson slashes the waitress’ throat with his boot spur.

That being said, how do people who make decisions like this keep their jobs?

That is so very, VERY wrong!
