Brokeback Mountain 4/4 (see post #94)

Ang Lee and Annie Proulx should provide a commentary on the DVD of this fantastic film. What other interesting extras might be included? Of course I want widescreen presentation and an insert too!

I was truly overwhelmed by the story in every conceivable way. This disc is a "must have" for my collection.

The date has already been announced?

That is surprising as the film hasn't been given a national release yet. It is still in major cities, with the wide release in the next few weeks.

Humm… Interesting. I think it was Charles Krauthammer on Fox News Sunday, apparently a big movie buff, predicted a simultaneous theatrical and DVD release of a major title in 2006.

I pulled the release date from The Digital Bits. It does seem a bit early. Oh well, whenever it's released it won't be too soon for me!

I wouldn't be surprised if it came out, um, was released

soon after the Oscars.

If Brokeback Mountain grabs a bunch of Oscar nominations and wins some of the big awards, I wouldn't be surprised to see it delayed to May or June so that the studio can captilize on the nominations/wins theatrically.

When I saw that release date, coupled with Rent's February bow, I thought I was dreaming. I wouldn't be shocked at all if a) BM's release got pushed back or b) the March release is bare-bones with a spruced up SE later.

That's my bet but I won't be shocked if it's delayed either.

Rent tanked, which explains the early release. I'd be surprised if Brokeback Mountain makes the March 7 date, given it's practically a shoo-in for Best Picture now that the heat has gone out of Munich.

Although, do you think that will happen with this?

A large part of the heavy DVD buying population who goes for special editions is made up of the single male into FX driven films. The type who probably wouldn't be caught dead seeing this film theatrically, let alone buy it in a retail store.

Other than a commentary, I can't think of much to add for a DVD release. Maybe some interviews, deleted scenes, that sort of thing. But, not enough to warrant a second disc for a special edition.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll get a wider release in theaters before the DVD comes out. The reason for this is because this movie's gonna win some Oscars.
