On top of all the other work through DETACH|CUSTOM (the freelancing side of my life, boo hoo!) I'm now writing the copy for the back of DVD movies and their inserts! A rather odd, but cool gig, dontcha think? But I guess you start from the bottom of the barrel in the DVD blurb biz, 'cuz my first two films were a couple gems *inset sarcasm here* from the 30s and 40s. The first being THE GOLD RACKET, in which a federal agent named Alan O'Connor (couldnt come up with a cooler name than that!!!???) stops gold smugglers from sneaking in nuggets from Mexico. My attention waned a few times with this one...
Next came LONE RIDER AND THE BANDIT. Oh god was this crap! Old B-westerns are some of the few things *inset more sarcasm here* that I can't stand. And the musical numbers? Why hell, they were worse than CHICAGO (sorry, fans out there!
) and they were only sung by our mighty hero Cameron (sounds like a frat boy to me, but I guess it was a diff time...) who can obviously not play the guitar because his left hand fingers never moved an inch. Geesh. The way Hollywood spit out this manufactured garbage, it's no wonder the Nouvelle Vague were so up-in-arms to change things in the 50s......but anyway, that's another story...
Bah! Ok, back to writing more DVD copy! And I get to keep the dvds, too!
