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 ;)

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

...Cause I know - A love that will never grow old.
