I look at the prospect of double-dipping this way:
It's the "Star Wars" thing, guys! You know...we've been telling Lucas GIVE US THE FILMS ***NOW*** AND WE'LL BUY THEM, EVEN IF THEY ARE BARE-BONES! AT LEAST WE'LL HAVE THE MOVIES! IF AN S.E. COMES OUT LATER THAT'S BETTER, WE'LL BUY IT, TOO!
Sorry for the shouting, uh, I mean *emphasis*. But, well, we've kind of been "shouting" for these films, and I wanted to remind people of that before anyone starts feeling too disappointed in the idea of a possible double-dip on them (which may NOT happen, true...but even if Paramount told us today it was a certainty I would not hold it against them).
I say "bring it on...NOW" in the best possible DVD you can give me with the original theatrical version of the film and whatever supplements you can. Anything more you can possibly give us in a year or two later as a two-disc S.E. is fine by me. Like with the Star Trek titles (and Jack Ryan, and for that matter Grease, too), it will be up to each of us to decide whether or not we should upgrade. Even if many of us decide not to double-dip, I think it's safe to say that the sellers of such would find it to be money in the bank.
