Meaning, of course, DVDs which come free with newspapers, rather than DVDs composed entirely of newspaper.
I'm not sure if this is a worldwide phenonenon, but there seem to be more and more of the things being given away free these days. Most of them are rubbish, as you'd expect, but in the last few weeks The Independent has provided me with Wings of Desire and Like Water for Chocolate (I'm halfway through now, but it made me hungry so I had to come down to make some food). They aren't films I would have sought out, and certainly aren't the type of films widely available in a small town like mine, but I'm really enjoying the random doses of "foreign" cinema. I hope the trend continues personally. I always like a good freebie. :)
