DVD Talk review of 'Spider-Man 2.1'
I read Greg Elwell's DVD review of Spider-Man 2.1 at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=27413 and...its a good review.
But, is the picture different than what was presented on the SE or Superbit? I am wondering if this is a different transfer or not. And why oh why couldn't they put a DTS track on it?
Also, anyone who saw the so-called "Extended" cut that was presented on FX a while back, is this the same added footage that was on cable?

Taken from a recent interview with Sam Raimi!
Question: Recently Spiderman 2.1 came out with 8 additional minutes. Were you involved in that?
Raimi: Yes, that I supervised. And Sony came to me and said, we want to make a 2.1 that gives fans more of the movie. I said but well, the problem is, I want to be good to you Sony, but the problem is you gave me my director's cut with the main picture, and I don't want to punish you now, but that, I really liked, that was the movie I wanted to make and you let me make it and I'm thankful for it. They said well, don't you have things we could still put in that the fans may want to see? I said okay, we won't call it the director's cut, but there's some additional insight into character, there's a few lines, there's a few little action bits that were, maybe were unnecessary to make the point that they said the fans would want to see, so that's what 2.1 is.
