RE: Ray
I notice that currently studios appeal to have a basic pattern of what constitutes a title as a special edition. The “basic” audio commentary, trailers and TV spots, a new anamorphic transfer, DTS or 5.1Dolby re-mixed audio, and the worst offender of all the EPK featurette. Within the next fifteen years, almost ever movie ever released will have a deluxe edition that follows this structure. The best special edition releases have almost a non-textbook approach. I want a personal sense of touch on a supplement sprinkled release. If you do a search for “Apt Pupil”, you will know that I didn’t want deleted scenes on that title either, for me deleted material is better suited for cult and genre pictures (i.e. Gremlins 2, Matilda, Showgirls).
About Criterion: I think all would agree this particular title falls under their motto of preserving classic and contemporary films of high artistic merit.
