They even have them in legitimate malls a month before its regular release in cinemas! I've seen the movie when it came out last week and there is absolutely no difference in video and audio quality. I promise to buy the original DVD too just to pay homage to this movie and honor everyone who made it possible.

The movie is also all over the newsgroups and peer to peer networks.  Apparently someone swiped an Oscar screener because periodically during the movie, there is supposed to be a crawling warning that the movie was intended for awards review only.

When the DVD does come out, I certainly hope it has director's commentary, deleted scenes, and a host of other features instead of just releasing the movie with one trailer and some boring text pages to scroll through.

Drew Kerrigan:
... The one I have doesn't have that message coming out in any part of the movie. The 'pirates' may have used some kind of technology to wipe that built-in feature out. :o Like I said, I promise to buy the original one once it comes out because, looking through the advertisements in cable television, there really are some scenes that were not shown in the DVD nor in the cinema when it was shown in regular theatres last week. Anyway, once I have a copy too and my college buddies (male and female) have this monthly DVD marathon going on, I'm definitely gonna be pushing for the film to be shown "in all its glory" to the group head on 8) - no matter how hesitant the others may seem. As long as I provide the DVD player for the next session - I'm in control of what's gonna be shown! >:( Most of my friends are very understanding and deep anyway so they'll probably gonna thank me for letting them experience the Brokeback Magic. Let's see who's gonna utter the first reaction after the ending credits coz I'm sure, everyone is gonna stay glued to the screen with teary eyes and aching hearts... :'(

You got that right. ~Hehe~ ;D I promise to keep you guys and gals posted on whatever my peers have to say for my initiatives. As for the DVD on tyour mailbox, oh my... ??? Let's just wait for the original to come out of production coz I'm sure, even if it's a bit expensive, it's worth EVERYTHING!

twistedude:
Like the kid who stubbed his toe in the dark, I'm too tired to laugh, and too tired to cry...no, that ain't it...it's something like that. You just cross Abraham Lincoln with Adlai Stevenson, and it'll come out right,
.

Give 'em hell...
