COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD Release

[Wreeah]

We might be getting shafted...
Check out the 'extras' on the DVDs...

Mostly what we have on the original DVD, and two more featuretes.
No mention of 'deleted scenes'  or comentaries.

 

Here's hoping this info is wrong!

Kudos! to those who kept an eye out for this.  Thanks for the info.  Can't wait to get it.  Will this be release in stores like the original dvd or through mail ordering only?  Does any one know?

It is usually a mess by the time it is over.

Hey, what's Xmas with out all the gift wraps, ornaments, lights, and Xmas cards scattering everywhere?

[Brown Eyes]

Wow!  That really does look like a beautiful packaging design.  Mel, I agree, it looks much better than the old original with the Oscars border (which I have too).  I'm just so excited about the special features too. 

So, are we to believe that those four little pictures on that ad are some of the postcards? I wonder if one of the special postcards will replicate Jack's first postcard.  How do you all feel about the postcard idea?  I can see why the marketers might have picked up on that as a theme, but the postcards just seem so important and personal and emotional in the movie/ story that it feels a little funny to me to turn them into a marketing device.  But, I'm still excited all the same.  The movie deserved much better treatment than that original bare-bones packaging.

I love the word Xmess, because for me it's usually a 'mess' before, during AND after.  I'm a little disorganized.

Thanks to both of you.

Christmas? What's that?

Echo that!  I got way too excited about this too soon, so the letdown is going to be that much harder!

I love the word Xmess, because for me it's usually a 'mess' before, during AND after.  I'm a little disorganized.

I like 'XMess too'  Nice .  But what's all this grumbling about the holidays, anyhow? 

I'm a hunnerd percent sure everybody on my list wants/needs a DVD or a soundtrack or a calendar or a poster.   

More ideas include a Tshirt from Jenny's store, bumperstickers from cafepress, donations to various causes:  HRC, Matthew Sheppard, PFLAG, etc...on someone's behalf.

EBay has some nice black and white prints you can get for framing if you need to spend a little more.  I just bought some blue w/white speckles enamel cookware for preparing the holiday meal .

Jack has even demonstrated the proper way to carve a turkey.

What we really need is a print run of holiday cards with some of our favorite scenes.

All-in-all, I think we're pretty well-positioned for this holiday season.

for the past 18 days, I've been doin the countdown - for what? This?

What's the old sayin' - "Been there! Done that! Got the t-shirt"

Looks like a slap in the face - ain't no special edition to my point a view.

Gonna discontinue the countdown... what a let down

Wow, now why can't we get a version like this?  Not fair it's a Taiwan version!


The Special Limited Edition now comes in a Denim Collector's Boxset with:
bonus disc consisting of features titled "First-time Rodeo" and "Ang Lee's Charisma", and also making-of, interviews with cast and crew, trailers, etc.
film stills
the Chinese translation of the novel

[Brown Eyes]

Is it just me... or is there something of a typo in the ad for the special edition that's been posted here.

 
"Take home the most acclaimed films of all time."
 

Is there a Brokeback sequel that they're not telling us about? (lol)
 

[Kd5000]

Oh that's so unfair. What's the population of Taiwan and how come there getting such a "good deal."  I smell a rat. 

I don't know what UNIVERSAL is thinking. "Denim's Collections," the packaging is denim? I'd be happy with plastic packaging and all the extras there getting in Taiwan as  I'd make my own denim covering for thespecial edition.     Cut up a pair of blue jeans and affix it to the DVD's covering.

Lee is from Taiwan. I wonder if that's why there getting special treament? The PRC censored the film, well the govt said there would be a lack of interest in such a film, so that's why it wasn't shown there. Whatever.
