How to rent a movie and not watch it in the end
Published November 13, 2006So, I rent this movie, “Omen” from the local Blockbusters and I pop it into my dvd player to watch it.
To my surprise, after the usual promotional videos, I don’t get the dvd menu: all I have is a screen with two options: “Omen” and “Prison Break”.
After thinking “What the hell?” for five seconds or so, out of pure curiosity I select option two: Prison Break.
The next screen explains that they included the “pilot” episode of this new show in the dvd and that the full season one is on sale in all video stores.
I expected to get bored after the first 10 minutes of movie so I clicked “play”…
… and fifty minutes later, here goes me addicted again to yet another tv series, after Lost, 24 it is now the turn of “Prison Break“.
Side note: I didn’t watch “Omen” in the end. Nice marketing strategy from the 20th Century Fox guys. :)
