Bingo.

I tend to agree with this article mostly. I'm the proud owner of a new Sony Wega 46 inch HD LCD, and even I am planning on sticking with DVD as long as I can. I've been tempted of late to dip into HD-DVD or Blu-ray, but it's just not worth it for me. My dvds (when upconverted) look better than...

Just saw this movie the other night. Expected to not like it very much. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. It was nonstop fun from beginning to end. Not to mention the workout the dvd gives to my home theater system. Wow! oh and wtf? Eddie Murphy lost Best Supporting Actor to Alan Arkin?! (sorry...

I'm not so naive as to believe that this is not partly behind every release. However, when Sam Raimi says that it is not his preferred cut, but has some scenes that would be fun to see, or to hear Ridley Scott (in his intro to Gladiator: EE) grudgingly say that there are some scenes that...

**Warning: Rant below.** I'm inclined to agree with those who side with the original theatrical cut. It's not that the 2.1 cut doesn't work, it's just that there's no need for it. What happened to the good old days when the version you saw in the theaters was what you were meant to see...

Agreed. I've got a 46 inch Sony Wega HD LCD, and was less than impressed with the quality of my dvds (they had a distracting grainy quality to them), and was starting to consider going HD, but then I got the Sony player. My dvds look incredible now. In my opinion, it's definitely worth it.

That news is dated the 25th, yet WB supplied Davisdvd.com with hi-res front & back artwork on the 27th, with no news of a delay. I'll wait for further confirmation before getting too worried. EDIT: Also, that news has to do with the HD release, so perhaps the Standard DVD is unaffected?

I, personally, am very happy they are releasing these versions on their own. They deserve it. They made cinema history. There's a chill I get down my spine watching the theatrical cut of FotR that the EE will never rival. That doesn't mean I have to prefer the Theatrical cut, but the film I saw...

ugh. Love the movie, but no thanks.

Alas, I fear I'm regretting my purchase of this dvd. While the always great Peter Jackson behind-the-scenes material kept me entertained for a few days, it now, like most bonus material, seems to be inconsequential. As for the extended cut itself, I'm not excited about that anymore either...

Without a significant amount of footage added, I don't see the need for an upgrade. With so little stuff added back, all having very little apprarent effect on the complete film, I'd think that's what a deleted scenes section would be for. I'm quite happy with the 2-disc collector's edition.

Nice...:D I like extras, but not so much that it would hold me back from a purchase. Besides, I'll still get the commentary - which the only extra that usually gets me excited anyway. I'll also be picking up Goldfinger, but the others I can live without.

The slight cropping is an odd thing, but I don't imagine it would end up hindering my viewing of the film if I got it - and believe me, I would love to get it (it's my favorite Bond film). Unfortunately, I just can't bring myself to purchase a whole Box set for one film (I don't really feel the...

Rented this today. Still entertaining. Better on second viewing, but still not worthy of being next to the first two films. It just doesn't feel like it's from the same film series. The others had so much more depth.

The older disc is horrid, but the newer "Immortal Edition" one is pretty good (and likely the best the film will probably ever look). I just recently revisited this one (love this movie!) and was not distracted by any PQ issues. But, yeah, if we're talking the old Republic disc - it's...
