Mar 26 2009'Bottle Rocket' Criterion DVD Comes with Useless Stuff I Need
The Criterion Collection's release of Bottle Rocket came out months ago and I still don't own it. Who do I think I am, a non-materialist content in owning lesser versions of things? I'm trying! But it's hard when I see someone has taken some photos of the DVD's insert: a recreation of Dignan's 75-year plan notebook from the film. That's so good that I need it sitting in a box on a shelf where I'll never touch it. Seriously. Plus, I hadn't realized that artist Ian Dingman, who did the new cover, also did a bunch of illustrated scenes for the menus.
I have no shame in admitting this little booklet makes want a film I already own far more than does the promise of a Terminator skull. So someone give me this. Thanks.

I'm going to be the guy who says that this is the best movie Wes Anderson ever made and that it was all downhill from there.
