Whenever I get these DVDs for giveaway for you guys, there is generally a quid pro quo with the PR firm handling the release. In short, "we'll give you some free dvds for your readers, if you will shill it on your site." Usually I pick the DVDs that I am excited about, or that I think you guys will like to get free copies of. This is one of those cases. I'm not completely sure how Im supposed to set up the hype for Shrek The Third coming to DVD tomorrow. It's not like a movie you didn't all see in the theatre, and its certainly not something you've never heard of. . .
I guess Ill pimp out the DVD bonus features? That should do the trick nicely. I mean afterall, the press release people took time to come up with such fun phrases as "Orge-Sized Bonus Features" and "Shrek-tacular Prizes" I'd be a dick to not mention them. ---wow, I just scrolled down the press release and found even more...."OGRE-WHELMINGG MARKETING/PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT." These guys put more puns that you can shake a baby at.
Ok here's the contest, after the jump, Im going to put in the whole press release for you all to enjoy. .. the person who can either Mock it the best, or out pun the writers of the press release will win a copy of SHREK THE THIRD which is available on DVD tomorrow. I have 5 copies to giveaway so put on your thinking cap. Send me your entries to madeyoulaugh@tvgasm.com subject line 'Shrek.' Entries will be accepted until midnight tonight PST.
Good luck, and to the losers, there is always amazon.com.
Full release after the jump. . . (wow, I just set myself up with that huh?)
The Year’s Biggest Animated Film Gets Even Bigger with
New Ogre-Sized Bonus Features and Shrek-tacular Prizes
HOLLYWOOD, CA (September 27, 2007) – Hear ye! Hear ye! Prepare for king-sized laughs as DreamWorks Animation’s newest adventure in the largest theatrical animated franchise ever gets the royal treatment on DVD and HD DVD on Tuesday, November 13th. “The best Shrek yet” (Pat Collins, WWOR-TV), Shrek the Third has earned over $785 million in worldwide box office and secured a spot as the largest domestic animated film opening and the third-largest debut in cinema history. Shrek the Third chronicles the continued adventures of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss in Boots from Shrek* and Shrek 2 with new characters including a magical, misguided Merlin, an awkward Arthur, a powerful posse of Princesses and a bundle of unexpected arrivals. As the all-star cast and characters you love return for another all-new royal adventure, the biggest comedy of the year becomes the must-have home entertainment event of the holidays.
The Shrek the Third DVD and HD DVD presentations are ogre-loaded with bonus material, giving viewers the chance to join the whole Shrek family for hours of entertainment and activities. Everyone with two legs (or four) can master the “Donkey Dance” with the help of Donkey’s wildly entertaining step-by-step instructions. In “Shrek’s Guide to Parenthood” viewers receive wise and wacky parental advice from Donkey, Puss in Boots, Pinocchio and Gingy. In addition to cast profiles, “Lost Scenes,” “Big Green Goofs” and much more, Shrek and Donkey provide “How to Be Green” environmental tips for kids. The DVD includes a wealth of exciting DVD-ROM features, such as “Shrek Shmash-Ups,” which allow aspiring filmmakers of all ages to choose and mix scenes from all three Shrek films and put them to music, as well as many more Shrek-tivties including printables, games and more.
