Why in the hell would this need a Digibook treatment. I liked the movie, but what can you really say in a Digibook you can't say on the back cover.

I really do like the look of these, but the price is too high for these sorts of titles. I just know that Warner is going to blow out these digibook titles at some point for

Nice cover. I like the poster art a lot, but that does look cool. A definite purchase.
"How are you enjoying your meal?"
(Customer throws up)
"I think we have a critic here! I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick."
(Manager looks pissed)
"That was a joke!"

Can't wait for this to come out.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a decent little film, but it's not like it was nominated for multiple Academy Awards or did boffo box office....I thought the whole "digibook" gimmick was being used for more "important" or "historic" or "critically acclaimed" works....
Considering how this one was treated on DVD (no special edition, just a basic double sided widescreen/full screen DVD-5 in a snapper case), I really would have just expected this to be released as one of Warner's "budget" titles, like Eraser was...

I'm glad they used that picture -- that's the one I'd have used.
Hope this has some decent features. A commentary, deleted scenes, retrospective doc and trailers would be good enough for me.

But now, we have a brand new start, and what does WB do. They put Amadeus and The Shawshank Redemption on the same level as...Falling Down. Now, I love the movie Falling Down. It's great. But it isn't no fucking Amadeus, either. Just look at the awards for it. How many did Falling Down get. Edgar Allan Poe Award. ZERO Oscars. How many nominations did it get, even. Uhhh, two.
Now, how many did Amadeus get. Ummm, 8 Oscars, 32 other wins in other categories, and 12 nominations.
There's just no consistency with studios anymore.
What's next, WB. A Digibook of The Adventures Of Pluto Nash? Fuck yeah, can't wait for that one. Maybe include a full-length CD of Eddie Murphy's amazing voice on freshly-cut hits, made JUST FOR THE DIGIBOOK RELEASE.

See, this is what is PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF on this whole thing with Blu-ray. Ok, studios made mistakes on DVDs. Ok, I give'em some slack there for their retardation.

Anyway...I agree that it's an interesting choice for a Digibook, but I don't agree that it's somehow leading to an Adventures of Pluto Nash Digibook or the downfall of "consistency."
