[sarah1980]

[Katsumoto]

After hearing the news about another shit release of the kill bill films, this makes me happy.

I'll get this the first day its out.

[xseanymacx]

Mmmm...on Blu-Ray...sweet.

[scottmushroom]

Awesome.....finally holding out on a movie actually was to my benefit!

[Tizzle]

best dvd news of 2008 so far imo.

[APzombie]

fabulous, splendid!

[Powerslave]

Finally. Beautiful news.

[Strider]

Great news!

It's about damn time...

[Cronos]

Awesome, I nearly bought this recently, glad I didn't now.

[Monotreme]

Too bad it'll be a double dip, but certainly worth it...!

[MisterChristian]

Hardly call it a double-dip, since the original release was what, 1998/1999? Yeah technically it's the second DVD release for the film, but because it's been on DVD for a decade, I think of it more of an UPGRADE. And long overdue! :)

Blu-ray buy for me...

[Monotreme]

Well, it's a double dip for me because I already have it on DVD. Still, as I said, totally worth it. Can't wait to get my hands on this...!

[joeyatog]

this will be a rare upgrade for me. I can't wait to dump that original Warner DVD with the stupid cardboard snap-case!

[Moviefan1234]

I'll be adding this to my Blu-ray library for sure.

Who's Andrew Sarris??! Why not a commentary with at least Curtis Hanson!?

Keifer Sutherland starred in that failed TV pilot...will be interesting to see.

[Mikey2Dope]

This will be a definite purchase for me as well. One of my favorite movies of all time and a movie that was just screaming for a special edition.

[bourahioro]

[Tyler Durden4]

hell yeah, unfortunately I picked this up for 4.99 about a month ago. I knew I should have held off but it was only 5 bucks. I must have the blu

Andrew Sarris wrote a famous essay from which the term "auteur theory" came from a few decades ago...we had to study it in film class...

But he should be a huge cut above the normal film critics today in what he has to say. Most film critics nowadays review films in very general terms rather than actually discussing them in-depth and analyzing them. He's more one of those critics who actually does a lot of analysis and I think I remember reading at one point that he and Pauline Kael were like arch-rival critics and a lot of people followed one or the other's school of thinking, etc so his commentary might actually turn out very interesting...

Oh and I love L.A. Confidential but I've refused to buy it for a long time because of the crappy snapper case (lol yeah I'm picky) and cause I thought a nice SE was gonna come out way before this...but yeah, this is gonna make me really happy. And a TV pilot with Kiefer Sutherland sounds like it'll be a wicked special feature :D

Cover art?

[therealjohng]

I wish they would've released this when I was still buying DVDs.

[MisterChristian]

No artwork yet.

[OpT!Mu5]

Well, if it's anything like the R2 10th Anniversary edition I'll be happy...

[Tyler Durden4]

Heres my Debacle. I own a PS3, but not an HD TV. Should I just go ahead and get the blu so when I get one for Christmas I'll have it?

[airik625]

I really want to see the artwork for this.

Wow Kim Basinger looks even hotter on this cover than the last one! *jaw drops*

Holy Shit! That cover art is sweet!

[corran horn]

Somehow, I had a feeling this would finally come about. Looks like my birthday list got a little bit longer.

Tentative DVDs for that list:

LA Confidential Special Edition
Three Kings
Iron Man
In the Line of Fire
Road to Perdition (if I don't buy it beforehand)

Oh and to reiterate everyone else's opinion: ABOUT DAMN TIME!
