I guess I'm somewhat excited about the idea of an SE of this movie, but I'm with everyone else. If MGM isn't going to include all the extras that are just laying around somewhere unused, what point will there be to pick this up? Normally I ignore the multiple releases that a lot of DVDs get but when it's something like ROTLD that I really love, it's hard to not at least consider buying it.

While these new special features are pretty good, I will most likely pass on this version seeing as there is a plethora of goodies that are just sitting there in a vault waiting to be released in a third version.
Now if the original audio has been restored, I MIGHT be tempted to get this one if the price is right.

The version shown On Demand recently had the original music and effects mix intact. Will this be the version that makes it to dvd? I hope it does,since I can't stand the remix on the previous release!

How's this for strange? I pulled my copy of ROTLD off the shelf last night and discovered that the cover had started eroding! It looks like they coated the paper with some kind of gloss in order to make some of the images (as well as the title on the spine) have a raised 3D appearance (relief printing, I believe it's called). Anyway that coating had started bubbling and cracking, eating away a lot of the image underneath. I don't know if all the ROTLD covers were printed like this or not, but those of you who have the relief style prints might want to check yours. In any case it makes the double dip a complete no-brainer.

Whatever.
I post info, just not *everything* on here. If I did that then what the hell is the sense in even having a web site in the first place? Why the hell is it such a problem for you to click on a link? Do you want me to hand write all the news and personally deliver it to your doorstep? Look, if it's such a hassle for you then just wait until news and info trickles out to other web sites and learn about it then.
Yes, whatever indeed.

No bubbling, cracking, or eroding on mine though.

Overall, a redesign would be a good idea. Just my opinion.

Providing links to other web sites is fine. We all do that when we post news about upcoming releases. But, again with due respect, I must agree that your site is cumbersome to navigate. Organizing the latest information at the bottom of the page is not particularly efficient. Go to any of the DVD sites usually referenced here. All will show the current news right at the top, and on the main page. No digging through links required.
Overall, a redesign would be a good idea. Just my opinion.
