Any BDs with good movie-specific inserts? - Blu-ray Forum

Chordata · 05-22-2009, 04:23 PM

Most of the ones I have contain the generic "Welcome to Blu-ray" type inserts -- non are really movie-specific.

I rarely see any with chapter listings, movie info, etc.

[P.S. This obviously doesn't apply to digibooks, etc.]

Chapter listings are usually on the cover artwork itself for some reason.

incredible hulk has a little User Guide booklet that comes with it that is movie specific about the special features and watnot

Zack and Miri Make a Porno has a funny insert with the cast dressed up like their Star Wars porno parody.

Also, Criterion has kept up the tradition of having great booklets in their blu-ray releases.

Some movies, and I can't tell you which because I'm at work, have the chapter titles on the back side of the cover art. If you stare through the Blu plastic you can see them.

Cars and Con Air, looked for about 5 minutes.

Ahh, I get it. I guess most of the ones I have (and I only have 12) just have a snapshot of a random scene from the movie (if anything).

Disney and Disney owned companies have been doing this.

The Bourne movies have good movie-specific inserts. Probably some of the better ones I've seen.

ABBA: The Movie. Very thick booklet breaking down this film and the ABBA-mania that was going on in Australia at the time of this film, directed by Lasse Hallström. Lot's about the director as well.

Other than the digibooks, this is the only BD that really took the effort for an insert. Ratatouille had a small booklet, which were instructions on how to navigate the menu. The Lost Boys had an insert selling stills or something. Tacky.
