We all complained about it (your comments at the bottom of THIS STORY and my RANT HERE), but it was more than obvious that despite the crappy bare-bones SIN CITY DVD that was released a couple of weeks ago, a jam-packed "real" version would be coming out sooner than later, and believe it or not...it's already here! Thanks to the dudes over at DVDAnswers.com for scooping this baby. The date: December 13, 2005! (just in time for Christmas). The price: $39.99. Why so high? The 2-disc RECUT & EXTENDED version of the film will also include a complete SIN CITY graphic novel (based on the first story "The Hard Goodbye"). The discs will also include:

  • The 124-minute theatrical release
  • The 147-minute extended cut
  • A commentary with director Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller
  • A second commentary with Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino
  • A third commentary containing Austin Premiere crowd reaction
  • A 15-minute film school with Rodriguez
  • A Movie in High-Speed Green Screen feature
  • 17 uninterrupted minutes of Tarantino's segment
  • Footage of a Sin City cast/crew party
  • A 10-minute cooking school with Robert Rodriquez
  • 4 featurettes on the cars, special effects make-up, costumes and props, a featurette on how they convinced Miller to assist with the film, a featurette on casting, a featurette on Tarantino the guest director (sigh)
  • Trailers
  • Bloopers
  • An interactive game
  • 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen
  • English DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround tracks

That enough for ya? Well, I guess we all expected the first edition of the DVD to rock as much as this one, but I suppose "show business" is called just that because they have to make money first, so better late than never, right? December 13th, boys and girls...that's the date when we can all buy the REAL VERSION of this awesome movie! Thanks to 'The Beatnik' for the head's up.

Sweet
As much bullshit as this double-dipping has become, it least SIN CITY is announced soon and is REALLY worth it; unlike unnecessary releases like Pirates of the Carribean (sp?).

More Double Dipping Bullshit
I really dug the film and admire Rodriguez's style, but I always thought he was above this shit. I remember watching a documentary where he said that he'd never release a bare bones DVD. Well I guess that was all bullshit. Glad I didn't buy the thing yet.

I'm SO glad I waited. Everyone was pressuring me to buy the barebones one, but I knew sooner or later the patience would pay off. And it did. Can't wait for December.

More DVD info
Robert, in a phone interview with a newspaper reporter conducted a month ago, that the extended edition will also allow you to see every story one at a time. He said you could see one every night because if you were to watch them all in one sitting it would be "too much killing."

that's what i'm a-talkin' about! I always knew this was gonna happen. I hope the Rodriguez/Tarantino commentary will be as funny as the one on the FDTD DVD

Finally! It was tough avoiding the initial release, but my dedication seems to have paid off! On the other hand ... forty bucks?!? Even Criterion releases usual go for thirty! I mean ... Eh, who am I kidding? I'll still be getting it. Now if only they'd release that special edition DVD of "Kill Bill" ...

Ha!
I'm happy I held out. Rodriguez said it would be out farily quick, and by the looks of it, it's worth the wait. Awesome set.
