Feeling A Little Thin

What in the name of Felinfoel Ale has happened to films on DVD? Eh? Well not so much the films themselves (believe me, thats an entirely new RANT) but the cases/packaging they come in. Where the hell have the little booklets with information about the movie gone? When DVDs first made their appearance I always got them. The first DVD I bought, Gladiator had a pretty decent sized booklet with film facts and other gumph included. Ok I didn't read it, but by the grace of gin it was nice that it was there.

Nowadays all you get when you buy a DVD is the bluddy case and disc! Its like buying one of those Salt n' Shake packets of crisps only to find the blue bag of salt has gone missing, and its really starting to annoy! (Like those miscreants who put coke in vodka.) Its all well and good when you get a freebie film from a newspaper or magazine but when im paying upwards of £8 for a movie, I WANT THOSE LITTLE BOOKLETS! And its not just the cheaper DVDs that do this either, the f**king so called 'exclusive' versions of the DVD are at it as well! Many a time ive foolishly opted for the dearer DVD and all I friggen' get for my troubles (and expense) is a poxy inlay card advertising new movies! Bast*rds!
And while im on the subject of card, why the f**k do some DVDs come with that crappy outer cardboard sleeve? I HATE THAT SHYTE! DESIST IN THE CARDBOARDY MADNESS THIS INSTANT! It screws up the collection because you have to STUFF the DVD into the rack if you happen to store films in specialist wire DVD racks, WHICH RUINS EVERYTHING!
Im glad I made the jump to Blu Ray because im thoroughly fed up with the state of DVD these days, but alas by all that is drunk, you cannot find everything on Blu which is depressing. Think i'll go pour myself a cognac.
