'This is no surprise, guys.  About four months ago they released a French language Region 2 "Collector's Edition" which had the same thing, a bunch o' postcards, an extra interview or what-not, and it clearly did not have deleted scenes, extra film footage, director's commentary.  It's a gyp, is what it is, but anyone who could read the French sleeve on the "Collector's Edition" had already figured that out.

They're just trying to get some Region 1 sales of the same damned thing.

It can't be.  Say it isn't so.  >:( :'( ???

I dunno.  Until that official website from Universal is updated, I still have hope....

Now that I have you as two very distinct people, I will admit I used to confuse you for each other, a long time ago.  :)

Found this on TOB.  This is the kind of stuff that should be on the SE DVD!

Why are they waiting so long before they put any worthwhile goodies on the DVD??

June 2007? That's ridiculous.

I'm just about over this whole deal.  >:(

Eric, thank you for posting that SFX link! Ioved it. I've always figured the hailstorm couldn't be real, but some of this was a surprise. Like, Jack and the tent was shot in the day and night was created afterwards, inclusive of some program to "add moon"!  :o

Have you posted this elsewhere, I haven't had time to look aaround BM. Because this sure deserves discussion outside of the collectors DVD disappointment.  :)
