Customer Reviews of Athens, Georgia: Inside/Out
Athens revisted I used to live in Athens around this time and it was interesting to see the footage again, the Pylon shoots are really cool. The BBQ Killers also steal the show, thanks to the infamous Laura Carter. REM fans will enjoy the footage of the band shot in the Lucy Cobb chapel performing acoustic songs. I don't know if someone who hasn't spend time in Athens would appreciate the movie as much as former residents. As some other reviewers have noted, the 5.1 audio is unplayable, it comes out super distorted. The extras are pretty amateurish and some of the menu items don't work correctly. I would say this is worth renting or borrowing but not buying unless they can fix these glitches. The original movie would rate 4 stars, but the DVD version is only 2.
Funny extras for a classic film
I don't know what that other reviewer is talking about. The sound quality on my DVD was just fine. I hadn't seen the film in years and was pleasantly surprised at how well it holds up. Some of the extras have some sound glitches (the Dave Schools interview goes on too long but the first 15 minutes are great and the director/producer commentary has sound drop outs at the beginning) but the film itself looks great and sounds fine.
As for the extras - the commentary track is hilarious and the B-52's video is a great addition. As far as the clips from an unfinished Flat Duo Jets film - well, I just hope they finish it because it looks like a masterpiece in the making.
If you liked the original or just want to find out about underground music in the 80's you really need to get this DVD.
Botched audio mastering ruins this DVD
I looked forward to replacing my VHS copy of this documentary with the DVD, but I was greatly disappointed to discover that the audio on the DVD is horribly distorted. This is true for both the 2.0 and 5.1 tracks. I have tried the DVD on two different players, and have also tried both internal and external D/A conversion. I seriously doubt the problem lies in my particularly copy of the DVD, as there is nothing wrong with the video. Also, the music on the intro menu is clean (no distortion). My guess is that someone at MVD screwed up royally during the DVD mastering process. Now the question is, will this title be recalled and remastered?
