Face/Off and Jack Ryan Collection Delayed
Posted August 16, 2007 by Josh
Paramount Home Entertainment has updated their release schedule, and two upcoming titles have been delayed into October. The John Woo action film 'Face/Off' has been delayed from September 11th to October 30th. Also, an interesting note, the "2-disc" verbiage has been removed from the cover, though no specs have changed. The upcoming 'Jack Ryan Collection' has also been delayed, from September 25th to October 23rd. No specs have been changed.

Why? Are we going to cry about 911 for the rest of our lives? Should we not release action films on Dec 7th? Or Nov 22nd?

While *I* don't think its tacky to release them on that date, I do instantly think of that event when I see that release date, so for some, I can see it being an issue. I do not think it will hurt sales or anything.
I do not instantly think of Pearl Harbor for 12/7.

The sensitivity to the 9/11 date will fade with time. For now, it doesn't harm anybody to delay the release of DVDs to another date.

HOBOKEN, NJ—In what threatens to be an annual ritual, Rob Bachman, born Sept. 11, 1973, braced himself Tuesday for yet another birthday ruined by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"My birthday's gonna suck for the rest of my life," Bachman said on the eve of his 29th birthday. "Every year, I'm going to want to go out and have fun, but it's always going to be inappropriate in light of the meaning of this most tragic of days."

I particulary cringe at the "Jeese James: Terrorist" one...

Can we get off of this rediculous tangent and focus on the new releases. Every day of the year has some kind of meaning. I say let's not release any DVD that has another animal in it on February 2nd because it will upstage the groundhog.
Please, let's move on!
