Ive looked around and can find very little info on the 2D set coming out on jan 04 for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind CE, just wondering if anyone know all the *New* extras that will be on there so i can decide if its worth double dipping. i love this movie but sometimes hate d.d. for a few extras. thanks!

I'm pretty sure it just includes the original release and the soundtrack to the movie.

i wonder if this has to do with putting it back in the public eye just about oscar nomination time....hmnmmmm

Is the current release barebones?

garyb

It is the same as Disc 1 of the CE.

I am selling my original release one on ebay now. I will be surprised if it meets the reserve price. ($12.00)

This is the most ridiculous example of money-grubbing multiple releases I've ever seen.

The first one came out three months and one week before the special edition.

Damnit.

MikeDeN2K

where can i find it for the cheapest? or does anyone think it will go on sale at best buy release week?

In this particular case: I don't see how you guys can complain about a double dip. It was announced when the 1disc came out. They didn't spring this on you. We had the choice to wait or buy because we had all the information.

That's why I've waited, and I'm glad the wait will be worth it. I loved this movie in the theater and I can't wait for that commentary.

CloudVader

Completely untrue. The DVD was released on September 28. The press release on DVDAnswers is dated October 19. If you search through the posts here on the messageboard, you'll even see the first discussion of the 2-disc double dip occurs around then. This WAS sprung on us after less than a month of the disc being on shelves. We were not given a heads-up or a choice to wait. I don't see how you could've known to wait unless you had a really good premonition or inside information or something or are just misremembring things. But at least you're one of the lucky fans of this movie who saved a few bucks by not buying it on the release date.

I'm pretty pissed about this double dip myself, especially since I know I'm going to end up buying it anyway (I love the Anatomy of a Scene features). Buying the first edition of this movie, for me, was like flushing money down a toilet, since I know I won't be able to eBay it for what I paid for it.

I usually just grin and bear it when it comes to the inevitability of double dips, but this one is really infuriating on so many levels.

Jackskeleton

Not to mention that when the talk of the double dip was around it was only talk for a collectors edition with soundtrack and I believe script or something like that.

taking this to add extras only a few months after release is really crappy.

shawagg

Well I knew somehow that I should wait. Maybe it was just a feeling or maybe I did read it somewhere. I can't say for sure.... but, sometimes I think of stuff and it comes true. You know that deja vu feeling you get, well when I was younger it used to scare the shit out of me at how often it happened.... I'm probably making too much of it.

Jackskeleton

sounds like you are.

Chaza

I've got this preordered from Amazon, I was more excited when it was announced with the soundtrack, as I'd probably get more use out of that then the bonus features which I may watch once, if that.

garyb

I'll just rent the bonus disc.....I don't want that horrid new cover anyway. How many words or praise can they smack on one cover?

Cornelius1047

I am a sucker for bonus features and having the best version possible of movies I really enjoy. This was my favorite movie of last year and had I known a newer version would be coming out so soon, I would've skipped the initial release and just rented it. I really think I'm going to pass on this double dip, at least till a price drop or I can find a really good deal on it. Of course, with the regular 1-disc out at the same time, a price drop doesn't seem very likely. Double dips don't always piss me off, but this one is just friggin' ridiculous.

I didn't know about this special edition until recently and would have been annoyed had I picked up the first version only to hear about this version. It's good to hear that a special edition is coming due, so I'll pick this up since I'm coming into some new found gift cards for Christmas.

This was my favorite movie of this year ( I haven't seen any of the fall/winter Oscar seeking films, but I doubt it will be displaced by many if any once I get the chance to see them - I'm hoping for a nomination for Carrey).

This is bullshit. What a crappy thing to do to all the people who bought the dvd and supported the film.

blindrocket

Hey, I agree with you guys on this one.
Luckily I haven't bought the film yet. It took FOREVER for me to finally get it off of Netflix and found out that I loved it enough to own it. Once it came time to buy it, I found out about this 2D release. The reason I didn't buy the first release was because I didn't see it in theatres (wanted to but no time) and I didn't want to buy the DVD without renting it because I'm not always a fan of kauffmans work. Adaptation was okay but I really hated Being John Malkovich (even though he rules). Anyway, I'll be picking this up because it was my favorite movie of the year.

Tarantino

It's a typical double dip. No tears here, I'll probably pick it up.

steebo777

My favorite film of the year. I might double-dip if I have some GCs leftover.

kms_md

will double dip as well, however, when it was announced (after the street date of the original) the extra disc was thought to be the soundtrack (making it much easier to skip).

shabby, if you ask me.

I bought the original when it came out, but haven't gotten around to opening it and watching it (even though I love the movie).

I'll just return the unopened original and get the CE.
