Today is the day the Daredevil DVD came out. Some of you may already know that. Some of you may even have had it circled on your calendars, but I suspect that's just me. :) Movie! Features! Interviews! Incentive to do that story I've been putting off! Coool. :)
What bemuses me a little is the freebie that came with it: the Batman movie. No, not the Michael Keaton one. That would have made sense. Nor any of the sequels, either. The *first* Batman movie. Apparently they feel that nothing will appeal to the Daredevil audience quite like Adam West and Burt Ward. Or perhaps they felt it was the only way to get rid of them (this somehow strikes me as more likely). Of course, since I spent many brain-rotting hours as a child *watching* that show, I'm probably going to watch the movie too. The incongruity amuses me, is all. :)
On top of that, it turned out this store had the DVD of Fake. Fake, for anyone 'Rith hasn't lured into it yet (like so many things in my life, this is All 'Rith's Fault) is a shounen-ai manga. Translation: cute guys chasing after each other. *snicker* The fact that the cute guys are cops, snark at each other a lot, and indulge in some extremely pretty h/c...well, hey, bonus. So I've got an anime of pretty-pretty guys kissing each other just waiting for me to get home to it. Mmmm-yum. :)
(Why couldn't Teen Titans have picked *that* to be influenced by? I'd be *much* more interested... :)
