"Barlow offers an insightful, timely look at how the DVD has
fundamentally changed the ways people interact with motion
pictures....[t]his is a provocative, thought-provoking examination
of a technology that is currently changing lives, and is central to
the debate over the artistic integrity of filmmakers as opposed to
the creative potential of fans and film students to use such
material to create new works of art. The author has a firm handle
on film theory but addresses whether such theory will be adequate
in a "visual, virtual ... representational culture." Highly
recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above."-Choice
