Saw IV- my totally F*cked up adventure

today i was looking around in video one for something cheap and entertaining and i came across something that intrigued me. something that screamed:

"JAMES! BUY ME!"

now normally i dont buy yelling DVD's (its just creepy when they do that) but this saw IV collectors edition was a no pass. why? because it was totally F*CKED up.

let me first summarize totally F*CKED up for you. TFU (for short) is a new series in which i find really jacked up dvds and review them. i have a hunch that i will start finding a lot of these at video one, which is like... a graveyard for DVDs. so... anyone see that awesome movie SAW? yeah... the one with the gripping story, melodramatic characters, and nailbiting traps and gore? saw IV is nothing like that, its the creme de la shit in this film series. no wonder this copy i bought looks like its been run over by a bulldozer. lets start off by looking at the amazing slip case.



as you can see it has a lovely picture of a disembodied head, and blood splatters that are actually part of the cover itself. what you dont see is the thick layer of dirt surrounding the outer edges. i actually dont have much to say about this part because its the least F*cked up of the bunch. so the slipcase gets a pass. i wish i could say the same for the inlet.



have you ever gotten a book wet? and then let the pages dry only to have them become crispy and stale? yeah someone left this thing in the rain, i have no doubt in my mind that this very copy of saw IV was left out in the rain, that explains the crispy inlet, that explains the mud, that explains the smudged film cell.



the film cell! oh how i have always wanted a film cell! and look at my very first one! aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ewwww! it looks like someone threw up on it. actually i kind of want to frame it. you know what? i am going to frame it! i mean its my first film cell, and, part of my film collection, and it did something in its existence so..... why not?



which brings me to the final piece.. the disc! the most important part of any DVD purchase, and the most scratched up disc i have ever owned. actually its not bad so far it has played through fine... but that was on my good DVD player, i havent tested it on my POS player. however this item like the others was caked in dirt mud and a toothpaste style... crust. nasty...

so really thats it... its just... dry. and not normal dry like at one point it was really wet, and know it is dry. the disc is scratched up, the fim cell looks like the wicked with during the whole melting phase, and the case is really awful. like i cant even put the disc in it without making new scratches. if anyone wants this disc i might consider selling it on ebay. because it is (for now) the most F*cked up DVD in my collection. and it needs a good home :) until next time.. keep F*cking up DVDs, so i can buy'em. ;]
