I did not know that.

A few people have addressed the issue of price so I'll say that I would have been willing to pay MORE for this release if it would've included a booklet (and maybe no full-frame version so we could get some disc art as well).

I think the argument is that since I paid less than $10 for it I shouldn't expect much from this release. I did not price the disc, I only know what I would like on it.

Most DVDs have inserts - it's only the odd disc that doesn't - so why not include one? It wouldn't cost much more to produce one, and they could easily have charged a $19.99 MSRP instead of the $14.99.

I will no longer buy any MGM or Lions Gate DVDs that do not contain inserts, and with every release that comes out without an insert I'll write the respective studio a letter (probably the *same* letter each time).

I canceled my orders for "Far From Heaven" and "Secretary" because I read on here that they contained no inserts.

As far as "getting over it" - I'm not going to change what I like.

Why don't other people "get over" movies only being released in full frame, or "get over" non-anamorphic enhancement on a number of titles? It's because they have a preference for those things.

Saying "get over it" is a lazy, idiotic solution to a problem. If you don't have a problem with not receiving an insert with your DVDs, that's fine. Good for you. But to suggest someone "get over it" isn't very helpful.

And I assume you were just posting to try and be helpful and not be a jerk, right?

Hey, your perogotive, your choice.

And while you're writing all those letters, the rest of us will spend our time watching the movies we enjoy, since, for most of us, it's about the movie, not a piece of paper with a chapter list.

(I sure hope I never get this obsessive, but if I do, I hope it's about something more meaningful than a generally non-meaningful piece of paper.)

You would pay an extra $5-$10 for a piece of paper you only read once.

I'm just happy obscure titles like UHF are being released at all. The $10 price point helps lesser known movies sell better and its a great strategy by MGM.

Are you sure you're NOT an executive for one of the studios? They come up with some stupid stuff sometimes, but you're burying them!

Look, Warner Bros. has their own crap packaging AND they charge more than MGM. My main point is: why doesn't UHF, or other MGM "Catalog" releases, have either booklets or at least inserts with chapter cards?

The cost is negligible, they're already charging quite a bit less than average for discs (bravo to them for that), and it would make the release better.

Anyone who would rather NOT have an insert/booklet than have one, e-mail me and I'll give you an address to send all of your unwanted booklets and inserts. I'll find them a good home.

Not to defend Jough's OCD too much....but I like inserts too.

But my reason is because I put all my DVDs in binders, not having the shelf space for 1000 DVDs. It's a lot easier to find the movie you want when flipping thru the binders if they have a nice insert.

I guess you're not a Pulp Fiction fan, eh?

You knew it was coming....
