Babel 2 disk?
I see this only advertised in the Circuitcity sales paper. No other stores has it for sale. Is this only for Circuitcity and does anyone know whats on it. It's listed in the paper for 2 disk collectors edition for 22.99. I don"t see it advertised on the circuitcity site either. Is it worth getting?

I'm sure that's an error. A 2-disc will likely show up later, especially if Babel can win Best Picture. The featureless 1-disc is all we're getting for now, al la Flags of Our Fathers.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and hold out for a 2 disc SE because it's bound to happen. I can't believe they couldn't even throw in a measly featurette for this.

21 grams didn't have much for features because Universal is cheap, and didn't fork over any $, reportedly Alejandro had plenty of stuff for this.
And his previous effort, Amores Perros did have a decent amount of extras.

I ended up getting the first release, and won't be dipping into this again. Will be interesting to see how well the new release sells, 6 months after all the hype.

I held off on the original because I knew this would be coming. Also because I wasn't too impressed with the film when I saw it theatrically, but after watching it again from Netflix I enjoyed it quite a bit more. Enough to get the 2-disc, probably.

I just picked up the current release a couple of days ago figuring that the 21Grams scenario would be in effect... but an 80 minute documentary sounds appealing, perhaps this will wind up being a double dip.
Oh well.
Oh well.

I've got the single disc and ended up being underwhelmed by the movie. It was a great concept that had it's moments. I just felt every scene ended up being dragged out just a little too long. By the end I kept looking at the clock wishing it would hurry up and end. He easily could have trimmed numerous scenes by several seconds each without losing the meaning and shorten the film by 10 minutes or so.
