Dear Fox Home Video,

I watched X-Men: First Class recently and enjoyed the movie. I just thought I'd let you know right from the start that I have no concerns about the film.

My confusion lies with some of your DVD bonus content.

The Anti-Smoking PSA is a little odd. More accurately, your inclusion of the Anti-Smoking PSA is a little odd. I've never noticed one of those on a DVD before and find it odd that it doesn't automatically play among previews before one lands on the main menu. I suppose people might, now and then, think to themselves, "You know, I'd like to be reminded of why I shouldn't smoke," and select this feature to meet that need, but I'm guessing more often than not it's not really high on the list of elective activities that viewers think of following an evening of movie-watching.

Even more disorienting for me was the inclusion of a lovely instructional video called Digital Copy "How To". In this special feature, a friendly man in a tie takes us step-by-step through the process of retrieving a digital copy of the movie for use on one's computer or portable device. Very handy information for those who are a little reluctant with technology, to be certain.

But you see, this DVD didn't come with a digital copy.

It seems like you're just messing with people, telling them what they could do if only they'd bought another movie. Odd.

Nonetheless, the movie was enjoyable.

Sincerely, Me

Dear Dear/Sincerely,

Sorry I've been away for a while. Life's been crazy. I'll do my best to keep in touch.
