Blurb at DVDFile on delays with the American Beauty DVD:

At the recent IRMA conference earlier this month, DreamWorks chief of Worldwide Operations Sandy Friedman was quoted as saying that BEAUTY director Sam Mendes is "steadfastly opposed" to the idea of including multiple endings, saying it would "alter the film's hard-won integrity." Ouch! But, you know, I'm surprised we haven't heard more publicly from filmmakers on this topic sooner. While I'm sure privately many filmmakers have vetoed certain supplemental features (many directors, for example, eschew audio commentary tracks) I'm surprised we see as much alternate footage, extended cuts and outtakes as we do on DVD.

With apologies to Styx fans (I know at least one of you reads my blog): While I'm not necessarily recommending Sack[!], I enjoyed this old article on arcade games, if only for the parenthetical reference to the band:

Ultimately, the arcade offered that grand illusion (I suppose it's fitting that whilst talking about the Eighties, I should make an allusion to Styx, arguably the quintessential '80s crap band. Think about it -- could any other decade have produced "Mr. Roboto"? All pretense and stupid lyrics that you knew sucked even as you were jamming away to them, and then the Eighties were over, "Come Sail Away" ended, thank the heavens, and it left nothing but a bad taste in your mouth. . .) that all the other counterculture institutions of other generations had offered....

And speaking of...

Take the REO Speedwagon Lyrics Challenge! Or study up first. Can't Fight This Feeling has to be my all-time terrible song I like because it's so bad. (Again, with apologies. I know people that like them, too. Well, I don't, but I want to keep my bases covered.)
