Looks like there's no need to run out and get the now OOP criterion dvd.

A few things I wanna say:

1. Just did so today.

2. And I'd do it again in a second as well despite hearing about this.

3. Despite Criterion saying it's OOP it's available at Amazon.Com and Ca. I even found my copy at a mall.

4. Not only did the other DVD have the Criterion banner, it's loaded with extras, while I haven't heard of anything to special here.

Anyone know what the extra minute consists of? I've seen the theatrical version, but I didn't like it enough to purchase the DVD.

Probably more blood me thinks. Or more brutal rape. Whatever it is, it isnt more intelligent conversation between Hoffman and his wife.
