The trend that ate my mail pile

[yendi]

Entertainment Weekly has, no fewer than three times in the past two months, included a bonus DVD (advertiser-supported), offering up the entire premiere episodes of Huff and House, and info and music videos from The Real Gilligan's Island. It's a trend that I fully expected to continue, with obvious tie-ins in EW and other media-oriented magazines (People, Rolling Stone, etc) offering movies and music dvd samplers, and even less tech/movie focuses mags offering some samples (Woman's Day offering a promo for Women Behaving Badly, etc).

But today, I got the latest copy of my high school alumni newsletter.

And there, in the middle of it, was a DVD: Collegiate: The Movie.

I kid you not.

I'm just floored.

No, I haven't watched it yet. But I will.

(Oh, the other nifty item from that newsletter: Mark Danielewski, author of House of Leaves and brother to singer Poe, is a Collegiate alumnus)
