Definantly picking this up. A great film.

I want to pick it up, but I may just succumb to the 07/19 R2 release.
I don't know. What do you say Jonathan?

Not sure, the artwok is definately superior, but like you said with an extra 2 months advantage it's hard to decide.

I'll probably grab both, see which one I like better and then flog the one which is inferior, but that's just me :)

Definately if you haven't seen it yet thought grab the R2, it's worth getting earlier just to savour ;)

[Backstabba]

I might blind buy this.

Great artwork.

[FilmKing2000]

I can't wait until this movie comes out on DVD! I'm looking very forward to it.

Great cover art as well.

This, plus Hard Candy, makes for an exciting DVD week.

We'll see. I may actually do as you suggested, or rent it from this store which rents other region dvds, so that I can just see it, and then buy the R1 release.
We'll see, but thanks for the pointers.
I like how you use "flog" :)
I haven't seen the film, but Ebert mentioned that scene in his review.

[bigred760]

It's definitely worth picking this baby up; I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it's a great western with great characters, action, plot, everything.

And ditto about the cover art.

It's a horrendous scene, to me it really played on the dichotomy of family - love and pain. Oh my, everytime I discuss it I remember how much I loved this film :D.

Hard Candy was brilliantly effective at the multiplex, I can't help but wonder if it would be as hardhitting at home, or perhaps even more so.

I'm sure it'll be fine for me regardless, since I have nothing to compare it to.

It's pretty sad that I barely watch any good movies in theaters.
The only two great ones I saw this year were United 93 and Brick.

I think HC works on both the small and the big screen, but since it feels like a play, a more intimate, home atmosphere might amp up the psychological, claustrophobic terror on display.

[Moviefan1234]

I'm definitely going to be adding this to my DVD library.

[Terror Australis]

Wait a sec, the Aussie version doesn't have any special features but the U.S. version does? This is bullshit!

WOW!

A U.S DVD getting more special features than a foreign DVD?
That's like a first!

[Shockwave]

..and probably a last...

[DreadPirateKong]

will buy blind. as well as Hard Candy, neithe of these came to cinema's around here, so cannot wait!

[Mattapooh]

Definitely picking this up on the release day, there needs to be a resurgence in the western genre happening.
