I've defended Bill on more than one occasion, as have other people here. Constructive criticism and consumer feedback is one thing, but some of the criticism directed at Code Red has been venomous, personally directed, and in poor taste. I can understand why that would get to Bill. But this menu? Come on... Code Dead? A bitter comment on the financial state of the company? I bought this release to support Code Red... Should I take it personally that I get poop thrown in my face when the menu opens?

And if it's fecal theme is a comment on the quality of the movie itself, I'd venture that Horror High (or perhaps Night of the Dribbler) deserved it more.

I am still thankful for all the obscure titles that Code Red has brought us (my personal faves being Messiah of Evil, The Unseen, and Sole Survivor), but this makes me sad...

Bill has explained the reasons behind these menus probably 10 times already.

They should have used that menu on the Exterminators DVD instead.

It's difficult to catch every message in every thread. I wasn't aware that there was a known reason, so I apologise for my comment.

A search did turn up the needed info. An unfortunate predicament, as that is a disaster of a menu, not worthy of a professional release.

The fact that Horror High's trailer selection is titled "Pointless Trailers" made me kind of go...wow...CR is letting the trolls get to them. I mean, be proud of what you're doing.

I picked up Terminal Island and really enjoyed the movie. I love the cover art and the DVD menu would have been very cool if it wasn't for one of the convicts head's being replaced with that of the guy on the Septic Cinema menu (apparently his name is Lee Christian). I'm not completely up on all the controversies with Code Red but I assume this is an inside joke. I figure it might irritate me less if I understood why Lee Christian is on the DVD menu for Terminal Island. Can any fill me in? thanks

The Lee Christian thing has been discussed in this exact thread, so just go through all the previous posts and you'll get your answers.

I've read this entire thread twice I didn't find where it says who he is and why he's in the DVD menus.

I did not see "Septic Cinema" anywhere on the Terminal Island disc menu. I don't want to be rude, but where in that post does it say who Lee Christian is and why he is on those menus.

Lee Christian is a Code Red commentator.

Thanks. Seems kinda odd. I guess it's not a joke...more of a branding thing. Too bad, it's a good looking menu otherwise. But hey, at least its not "Septic Cinema".

Regarding the

menu... from dvdverdict.com review of Night Child:"Of special note is the menu, which features the Vice President of Code Red crudely photo shopped into a cartoon port-a-john, replete with air-brushed feces smeared on his face. He pipes in a narration welcoming the audience to "Septic Cinema." I didn't stick around long enough to find out why. I hope this ill-informed choice is some sort of practical joke included for the screener, as it sends out the message that Code Red somehow considers The Night Child, well, shitty, which in comparison to the rest of the studio's catalog, it most certainly isn't."
