Chicago - normal DVD stuff and and extra song from the movie "Class" which was cut from the theater version.

Animal House 25th anniversary. A "Where are they now" mockumentary. Looks like a hoot.

Something about Mary. 6 hours of special features! 6 Hours? Seriously?

Once Upon a Time in America. Original was an hour and forty minutes and sucked in theater, but the directors edition is two and a half hours and "the second best mobster movie ever made" according to Joel Segel. It has Jennifer Connely at 13, first movie she ever made. I don't know if she was cut from the original movie, but the clip I saw of her made it look like she was a ballerina, or something.

Cassablanca 60th annersary. Out takes. Those look interesting. Who knew they still even had those. And behind the scenes stuff. Like the plane scene at the end was filmed indoors, the plane was paper mache and they used little people in front of it to make it look big.

May I ask where you got the list?

"Animal House" was scheduled for next week. "National Lampoon's Vacation" is this week, though.

I thought the expanded edition of "There's Something About Mary" came out last month, and the anniversay edition of "Casablanca" was last week.

I'm speaking as a devoted DVD geek, one who's making his dependentcy the subject of his next column [Smile]

Good Morning America, I think. Not the Today show, but GMA or that other one. Can't remember the name. Oh well.

Well this is probably an old DVD by now, but we recently purchased The Princess Bride Special Edition and it had some great stuff on the making of, and a where they are today thing.

Neato. [Smile]

Hee hee...

The special edition Princess Bride is what finally motivated me to buy a DVD player last year. Tomorrow's column mentions that, and my little problem of buying anything with "special edition," "criterion," "expanded," "director's cut," or "Superbit" on it.

The reason for the column: the anguish of waiting three more months to buy the expanded Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers when the regular edition will be out next Tuesday.

I rent and *cough* rip the original DVD...then I buy the extended edition. [Wink]

But don't tell anyone!

Hey, EVERYONE. Tick is sucking the life blood out of the DVD Entertainment movie industry with is Piratical practices.

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

Mwa ha ha!

[Evil]

Seriously, I deleted it once I had the extended version. [Wink]

I just didn't want to spend the money twice.

Yeah, it was on GMA, which was interrupted by the UN bombing in Iraq, so, I don't know if I missed any. It was a report by Joel Siegel. It might be up here in a couple of days.
