Thank God It's Friday

"Columbia Pictures finally unleashes the disco hit Thank God It's Friday onto the world of DVD in a rather stellar package that's all flash on the outside and empty on the inside (much like disco itself!). While it truly is great that this sucker is finally getting released -- it's even hyped accordingly on the back cover -- did they have to spend zero money and time on the disc itself? With a main menu that is actually a default menu screen on computer burning software everywhere, this big-studio release is pretty shameful when it all comes down to it, made extra weird thanks to the mystery surrounding the Asian warning screens that pop up after the disc is inserted. There are no trailer or chapter selections for that matter, though the flick was given an anamorphic 1.85:1 picture, so at least the movie itself wasn't given that much of a shaft in that regard. Still, the shabby production on this disc is worth noting -- especially for such a large studio as Columbia Pictures."
