COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD Release

[Meryl]

Yes indeed!  Have done it.  Thanks, Lynne.

You know I might go ahead an order it and if there is nothing new I can still give it to someone I think will want to see it.

The consolation prize, as it were.

I just received the Donnie Darko Director's cut as a present and it has a whoopin' 11 extras and director's cut version and a director's commentary!

WHY NOT ON BBM?

[twistedude]

About the new DVD (mine hasn't come yet)---it SAID on it what was new, and it was like nearely zilch. And as for there being "extra movie film" in it---just count the minutes---2 hours, 15 minutes (sound familiar?). How can there be scenes we haven't seen when it's exactly the same length...they probably just cut the FNIT, or something...

So why'd i order it? There's always a chance somerthing wonderful will show up...

Someone is trading a fullscreen for a widescreen? I haven't OPENED my widescreen yet.
Watch the fullsacreen all the time.

From what I understand, there is not a whole lot of new stuff there, so I'm probably not going to bother myself.  Around the time of release, expect to see some further price declines - Overstock is well known for that and I should be able to find some coupons for free shipping or added discounts.

They have actually dropped the price. Originally, they were going to sell it for USD 23.XX.  Now it's down to USD 19.XX.   No doubt UNIVERSAL has been bombarded with emails, etc. protesting this rip-off deluxe DVD and knows they had better lower their price. 

I mean how stupid do they think consumers are, i.e. that they are going to shell out another USD 23.XX just to get some postcards and a a few added features about the music and the BBM phenomena.   Who needs that?

Donnie Darko, (I'm only referencing that because it's another Jake film) got far better treatment and it made less then USD 1,000,000 at the box office.  It makes no sense.

[nakymaton]

Is the director's commentary going to be a track that we can listen to while watching the movie?

Although I would rather have commentaries from a lot of people (writers and tech people especially), I might buy the collector's edition just to hear what Ang Lee has to say. Though I'll wait until I hear reviews from people here first...

[David]

I am still skeptical.    I will not order it until I hear better feedback confirming new interviews that we haven't seen on TV already.
