DVD Reviews of TV Commercials: The Ultimate Collection
DVD Review: Decent, especially for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, what amazes me are the 'reviewers' who complain that there's no 5.1 surround. How pampered can you be when you gripe about the lack of surround sound ON MATERIAL THAT HAD NONE TO BEGIN WITH? Give me a break!
Ooh, poor you, who can't bear to watch this for what it is - a fairly fascinating look at the advertising methodology and techniques used back in the day. Some of these are more than fifty years old, so if the black and white doesn't look razor sharp on your HDTV, grow up and get over it and go watch 'The Matrix' for the thousandth time.
This set runs around three bucks a disc, for ten hours worth of programming. That sounds to me like a pretty decent bargain. So what if they're 'downloadable' from another website? I actually have a job, so I don't have time to sit and burn blank DVDs that would cost more than this set did to begin with.
The 'wow' factor, or the "I had one of those" phrase comes to mind quite often, especially in the disc involving toy commercials. In addition to the toy disc, you get a disc of cigarette commercials, celebrity commercials, a 'miscellaneous' disc, a disc of car commercials, and a disc of food and beverage commercials.
Oh, and one more thing - the fast forward button isn't all that difficult to manage. Sorry that the DVD authors didn't put chapter stops on every single one of the more than six hundred commercials here. But, if watching thirty and sixty second pieces of video is too time consuming for you in the first place, this probably isn't the set for you.
