Hooray!

Everyone should buy the widescreen version.... I'm sure that's what Ang would want.  If you knew how much gets cut in the "full screen" version, you'd see the irony:  it may be "full screen," but it's not the "full movie!"

I'm sad to see no mention made of a commentary track by Lee in the "Special Features."  He's done them for his other movies, and I find them fascinating. 

Oh well, perhaps I can lookforward to a ten-year anniversary edition with commentaries by Lee, Ledger, and Gyllenhaal!

Have you seen this video interview of Ang? It's more interesting than fascinating, though.

I believe this is what the cover will look like:

The Amazon website for this DVD allows users to rate it (DO!) and also has a streaming video (about 3-4 minutes) of Ang Lee, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal discussing the movie, the story, and making it.  Very wonderful stuff.

I can't locate the link to rate it....  there's one to write a review, but is there another that's solely about rating it?

Also, a tip for obtaining BBM cheaply:  you can pre-order BBM at Amazon for less than $17 at the moment, and can get free shipping (UPS ground) on orders over $25.

But there's a better way:  sign-up for a 3-month free trial of "Amazon Prime."  Then all orders get free shipping on 2nd-day air.  All you have to do is cancel the Prime membership before the 3-month trial is over to avoid any charges.

I know many of us will probably just go to our local store so that we can be watching it that night.  Still, I wanted you to know about this great price and free shipping deal.
