I was wondering the same thing today. I haven't received my disc yet either and I am dying to know what exactly is on it. I haven't checked to see if they cashed my check yet, so I'll have to look into that. I sent them the necessary papers on October 2 (the same day I got John Waters Coolection Volume 3). It does say to allow 8 - 10 weks for delivery so if it doesn't come by December 21 then I will really start to worry.

Hey guys, still haven't got my disc either but there's an article about the bonus disc in Video Store Magazine where they report:

The disc includes more than three and a half hours of video including vintage Waters television appearances, interviews with the director and his favorite stars (like the oversized drag queen Divine and current talk show sensation Ricki Lake), promotional materials, film excerpts, behind-the-scenes footage, new interviews and more special features. The bonus disc also includes more than two hours of archival audio footage including interviews and other vintage clips from the director and his films along with DVD-ROM capability, a photo gallery with 60 archival photos, animated timeline menus detailing events in John Waters career.

I was sort of hoping for the shorts like "The Diane Linkletter Story" but no indication of that. Oh well. I'll still be happy to check it out.

Thanks for the info!

I was hoping we'd get the old stuff too. Like Roman Candles and Eat Your Makeup.

Still sounds really cool though!

What are the terms of this offer? Is it still valid?

 

[Jay Gregory]

Wow, sounds like a worthwhile bonus. I'm going to have to start collecting these disks, despite the Pink Flamingos/Female Trouble framing controversy, and the inclusion of Pecker.

What are the terms of this offer? Is it still valid?

I asked the same question in a previous thread, and this helpful response was provided: "Requests must be postmarked by 12/15/02 and received by 12/31/02."

Here's the description from Video Business---sounds more enticing all the time!

"...the studio's John Waters Bonus Disc (color and B & W, 350 min. stereo, widescreen and fullscreen) is a highly entertaining amalgam of all things Waters, including vintage TV appearances, home movies, tours of his beloved Baltimore, interviews with casts and friends, photo galleries, excerpts from movies and much more. A DVD can't get more inclusive than featuring old audio recordings of Waters and kvetching Divine or a look at the King of Bad Taste's annual Christmas party invitations. The content can be accessed from one of two colorful timeline menus. One chronicles Waters' life by his movies, and the more traditional timeline places everything together in the context of the "real world". Of course, the real world highlights of the second timeline are pure Waters, noting such red letter years as Jane Russell becoming a born-again Christial (1950) and the momentous years that Valium was first made available to the public (1963)."

350 minutes??!!?? That's nearly 6 hours!! Wow - well worth the $5.95 (and purchase of the 3 sets).

There is a review of the bonus disk here: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=3100
Hope this means we'll receive it soon.

Did any Canadians receive this disc?

The insert states that the offer is available to U.S. residents only...

I asked New Line about this in their last chat, and they curtly stated that Alliance Atlantis is their Canadian distributer and that they were distributing the bonus disc in Canada....yet the Canadian discs contain NO mention about receiving a bonus disc from Alliance!

How the heck do I get this disc??

 

[Scott_J]

Bill, no Americans have received the disc yet (except for the review copy, which was just a test disc).

But since it says U.S. only, I would imagine it's U.S. only.

 

[Bill McA]

But since it says U.S. only, I would imagine it's U.S. only.

If you had actually read my post, it clearly stated that the bonus disc WAS available to Canadians through Alliance Atlantis (as per New Line's chat response).

My question was in regards to how one would actually go about receiving the bonus disc from Alliance, as there is no mention of the Alliance offer in the actual discs!

I still haven't received my John Waters bonus Disc and it is now past the 10 week mailing deadline the mailer card mentioned. Has anybody received it yet?
