speculation on why ED WOOD is recalled

There's nothing immediately wrong with my ED WOOD DVD, picture-wise or
sound-wise.

Everyone automatically assumes the recall was prompted by a programming snag
within the supplements or the commentary, but I wonder if it's simply due to
the following goof-up in the liner notes:

On the front cover, there's a blurbline that boasts _Winner of 2 Academy
Awards!*_ but next to the asterisk on the back cover, only Martin Landau's
Best Supporting Actor Oscar is listed; there's no mention of the Oscar-winning
makeup anywhere on the cover or in the notes.

Seeing as how Oscar wins offer ready-made bait for blurblines on front covers,
it would behoove Touchstone to accredit their movie with both Oscar wins.

Make of that what you will, but I have yet to hear any other satisfying
explanation as to why ED WOOD has been yanked yet again.

 

One day Oscars won't mean a damn thing. This years noms didn't include the
great Kill Bill or Uma Thurman for best actress or Scarlett (love the jugs)
Johanssen as best actress. At least they didn't nominate that itty bitty
gnome girl from Thirteen. Ya, sure she has a 3 word name like all kid stars
under that age of 14.
