Everyone else has already seen No Country for Old Men, so I'll mostly skip the content. It was just like the book, only a little more upbeat. As for the outer packaging, the claim that it was "Beyond High Definition" seemed to be at least as true as it is when the slogan appears on a legally distributed Blu-Ray product: the picture was phenomenally crisp on the giant new flat-screen TV that our friend Alex is embarrassed about having bought.
But it was the inner packaging that made it memorable. Somewhere along the bootleg-DVD supply chain, someone felt the need to include an envelope with the official Beijing Olympics logo on it--tucked inside the plastic case, inside the cardboard sleeve, where no shopper could even see it. Piracy as conceptual art.
