ORIGINAL: AxlReznor Well I for one noticed no difference between the theatrical release and the Blu Ray. And even if there was, I'm not going to get all worked up about a couple of seconds of fucking spear. What's important is the impact of his death, not the detail of it. Agreed, however if I'm shelling out for a £15 blu ray I want to see the film as the director intended me to. It's especially aggravating that it's available in other countries and not a blanket decision. quote:
As for commentary, well if there's one thing I can't stand is people talking through a movie. I wouldn't pay any extra to get someone doing just that. I've always found it the most pointless extra on any DVD. That's your opinion but you've honestly missed out on hours of insight. Raimi, carpenter, verhoven, cronenberg, Tarantino, Rodrigues and Fincher, to name a few, all have excellent chat tracks and I hear Weedons are great too. I like to have the option, especially if people in other countries can. Your attitude pretty much sums up the general attitude the UK public; put up and take it. On a movie this popular it will hardly hurt Disney's sales as the casual moviegoer won't notice or care about the edit or the missing features but we will continue to get shafted. We need to vote with out wallets, ruffle some feathers, force Disney to do a recall (not likely) We should NOT put up with this kind of (mis)treatment because it will only keep happening. Am with you on the importance of commentaries. Anyone with any interest in the technical side of filmmaking, or looking insights into a film not found on other documentaries, should always give them a listen. I would've thought it would be obvious that a commentary is best appreciated when you're already familiar with the film, and in any case there's usually the option of having the dialogue subtitled. It's certainly a lot more valuable than "people talking through a movie"! Joss Whedon's in particular are excellent, full of trivia and knowledge. It would certainly be nice to have the option of listening to his thoughts on Avengers. Cheers, Disney! (Btw, their excuse about having to prepare the UK discs one month earlier than the US ones? That might've been more convincing if the release dates for the two territories had been more than a week apart!)
