Hollywood, California – October 4th, 2006 – National Lampoon’s new DVD-of-the-Month Club (www.NLdvdClub.com) makes it easy for movie fans to get fresh, laugh-out-loud comedy every month. That’s because the recently launched National Lampoon DVD Club showcases the funniest comedy movies that didn’t come to a theater near you – and delivers each month’s selection directly to your home.
Stephanie Silver, a company spokesperson, explains, "Determining what movies get broad distribution and studio marketing support is a complicated process, and unfortunately, how funny a film is isn’t the only consideration. National Lampoon has put together a collection of ridiculously funny movies that never got the exposure they deserved, and is making them easily available to fans everywhere at a great price.”
Ever since Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle emerged well after its initial release to become an iconic comedy, the experts at National Lampoon have been watching hundreds of movies, looking for other great movies that comedy fans will want to know about. One great find is The Rage in Placid Lake, the story of a precocious, off-beat high school graduate (think: Napoleon Dynamite) who discovers that the secret to rebelling against his hippy parents is to embrace conformity and get on the fast track to corporate success. Even though few movie fans have heard of it, on the popular movie website IMDB.com, The Rage in Placid Lake receives a better rating then some of the most popular comedies of the last decade, including Meet the Parents, American Pie, There’s Something about Mary, and Napoleon Dynamite.
Another great discovery included in the club is Bad Taste, which was the first film directed by Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings). The film features Lord Crumb and his band of alien invaders, who come to earth to acquire human flesh, the main ingredient at their intergalactic fast-food chain (p.s.- watch out for the sheep rocket launcher!). Several of the films National Lampoon found showcase uncensored performances from early in the career of great comedic actors. For example, the little-known but hilarious movie Bongwater stars Luke Wilson, Jack Black, and Brittany Murphy in the story of a drug dealer and stoner with big plans, and an even bigger “concentration problem.” The club also includes deserving selections from National Lampoon’s own library of movies, like National Lampoon’s Blackball – a movie starring Vince Vaughn which puts a British spin on alternative-sports comedies like Dodgeball, Happy Gilmore, and Kingpin. More information on the movies featured in the club can be found at www.NLdvdClub.com/movies.
One compelling feature of the club is that it is an ownership club – members actually get to keep every movie they receive. Also, because National Lampoon has strong industry relationships, they can offer the club’s movie selections for less than $5 a DVD, allowing members to own a great movie for about the cost of a rental.
The National Lampoon DVD Club wants to give comedy fans a great reason to get in on the laughs. Right now, the club is offering anyone with an e-mail address a free DVD, so they can try out the service. This is a genuinely free DVD – there is no shipping charge, no handling fee, and no obligation to purchase any additional movies. It’s the kind of offer companies can only afford to make when they’ve got a product they know customers are going to love. To take advantage of this offer, go to http://www.NLdvdClub.com. Plus, for a limited time, customers who decide to become paying subscribers to the club will receive two free movie tickets (good for any show, any time) when they join!
Joe Iovino, one of the first subscribers to the National Lampoon DVD-of-the-Month Club, had this to say: “I loved the first couple of movies that I received. Bongwater was ridiculous – I don’t know how I missed that movie… I can’t wait to see what I get next month.”
