"never is the outside inside and never is the inside outside..."
I'd say that in this case the outside (DVD - or futhure formats) will break
through the inside (film) and that it already is so much part of some inside
(film) because the outside is so much a part of some inside that even a
description of the outside cannot completely relieve the outside of the
inside. :)
