A Christmas Story 2 Disc SE (1 Viewer)

[Keith E]

Just saw this on DVDFILE.COM

2 disc SE in anamorphic widescreen.

This appears to be the year that us OAR fans are getting what we've wanted the whole time.

National Lampoon's Vacation and Christmas Vacation.

The Absent Minded Professor from Disney

And now this.

Keith, don't forget the widescreen Babe we just found out about. Give me King Ralph and I'm set.

 

[Brian Kidd]

Yes, but does it come with a Red Ryder Carbine Action Model Air Rifle?

 

[Kajs]

I'm suprised thats its going to be a 2 disc set. But that's awesome nonetheless.

 

[Brent Bridgeman]

SWEEEET!

I wonder if the petition(s) did some good? Man, I am all over this one! The question is, will I be able to hold off watching it from October 7th until December?

"$@%&*@# Bumpuses!!!" Ralphie's "old man" is my hero.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Any other year, this would have been a must-buy. Just got too much on my plate for this fall already.

Still, awesome news!

There was an extensive discussion on this title yesterday:

Since the previous thread is now in the cover-art area, I'm posting this info here.

Besides full-screen and widescreen presentations, the two-disc SE will have the following bonus features, according to Warner:

-- Another Christmas Story, an all-new 20th anniversary making-of documentary narrated by Peter Billingsley that shows how the beloved Yule stories got from page to screen
-- Feature-length commentary with cast members and director Bob Clark
-- A History of The Daisy Red Ryder: A look at this nostalgic air rifle, its origin and why it is still popular today
-- Get a Leg Up: A Shining Light of Freedom: A humorous peek at the making of the leg lamp
-- Triple Dog Dare interactive trivia
-- Decoder match challenge
-- Jean Shepherd Radio Program: The beloved author and narrator of "A Christmas Story" reads the holiday stories from his "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" that served as the basis for the movie
-- Hidden Easter eggs

It's just so cool.

 

[Eric Peterson]

Can't wait!! Any idea how long the documentary is? The Jean Shepherd radio program sounds great.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Wow! Finally, some extras I can get into! And I'm not even an extras kind of guy usually!

 

[Robert Saccone]

Does anyone know if Darren McGavin will be on the commentary. He is in his eighties now. I know his wife passed away in April and from the pictures on his website, he looks a little frail. I hope he is on it.

 

[Joel C]

Now *that* is a special edition. I'll hang it in the window for all to see.

 

[Steve_Knutzen]

Excellent to hear that they're loading this with some worth-while features. It will be mine.

 

[Joe Bernardi]

This DVD will be a Major Award. I'll be drinking my Ovaltine while I wait for this one.

 

[Gordon McMurphy]

Oh, great extras!

Jean Shepherd lives!


"Dad always liked fireworks. Too bad he died before the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. He would have loved that."

Legend - I'm not exaggerating!

[Jeremy Allin]

I hope we get the uncensored version, otherwise I'm not buying. I mean, what were they thinking when they had Ralphy say, "Oh fudge!"? It sounded so fake. :rolleyes

 

[Brian Kidd]

Wow! I hadn't realized that McGavin was that old! He doesn't look to be in the best of health. He has always been one of my favorite character actors. Lord knows A CHRISTMAS STORY wouldn't have been the same without him.

 

[MarkHastings]

Can't control enthusiasm!!!!!!!! SE's of Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation! A very merry Christmas indeed!

WHOOPIE! A Zepplin!

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

Yes, but does it come with a Red Ryder Carbine Action Model Air Rifle?

No! That was the original plan, but then apparently someone in the WB legal staff wrote a memo about potential liability in the event of occular trauma and the whole idea was abandoned.
