Wilco Blue ray ripoff


“I Am Trying to Break Your Heart – A Film About Wilco” (Sam Jones (IV))

Wilco emails warning about an upcoming Blue-Ray disc that is not worth purchasing:

Also, we have a CONSUMER ALERT. Without consulting us, the DVD company (not WB/Nonesuch) that released “I am trying to break your heart” is about to issue a Blu-Ray Edition which, no surprise, costs considerably more (nearly 2x) than the standard DVD. We’re unsure as to the rationale for the release, given that the film was shot in beautiful grainy B&W and has a stereo-only audio track… there is, in our opinion, not much to be gained by spending the extra cash. It’s your money… and in this case you should probably hang onto it. [From W I L C O – N E W S]

The film is quite interesting, if you are familiar with the band, but apparently, you can just rent it from Netflix instead of forking out for the new version. Or get the standard DVD.

or just read Greg Kot’s book:
