Oh I'm sure Focus features will re-release it in the future to make another fast buck off of us fans.

The 'point' I failed to make in my comments regarding numerous editions of "The Wizard Of Oz" was that they all were BETTER than what was released before.  When they found a pristine 1939 Technicolor Film Print in some salt mine, somewhere,  the COLOR was better than I had ever seen before.  Then they digitized that and released with a 'full' Dolby 5.1 stereo mix.   The 4 disc Collectors Edition was released directly from the original Technicolor 3 strip negatives and MORPHED together to get more detail in the color than I had ever seen before that. It was stored at 50 megabytes a frame and there are 24 frames per second. And although the original opening B/W sepia negative was destroyed in a Vault fire, they used the best available version and went to work on that.  The first change that I noticed is that in the first scene Toto must have pissed (spotted) on Dorothy's Dress.  She must have carried Toto back to the starting point when another take was needed.  I never noticed that before but if I look at older releases, it is there... it just doesn't stand out in a way that would catch anyone's attention.

We haven't seen the last Brokeback Mountain release, IMO...

peace ;)
