Now I'm glad that Best Buy was out of this when they had it for $4.00 and I forgot to get it at Target for $6.50 last week.

Mondo Kane

2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Finally.

One of my all time favorite films. I'm happy about this news(released a couple days before my birthday!),and can't wait to see it again. Since I our crappy dvd player on our 4.3 tv is broken,and my laptop doesn't have a good way of handling non-16.9 enhancement( only stretch or excessive cropping). So I just have'nt watched the dvd at all for the past few years.



Now if only Natural Born Killers uncut would be reissued in 16.9. That dvd looks terrible on a large screen!

ReduxGuy

Well, at least I only paid six bucks for the old one.

It it gonna be a two-disc, like the old one?

marty888

Count me in!

paulringodaman

I'm def. gonna get this

Rypro 525

well, then again, all of the grain/dirt was intentional so i'd assume the r rated anamorphic disc doesnt' look too great.

Will this include all the extras from the old version?

I saw this for the first time recently and even though I had zero interest in The Doors, I really enjoyed it.

Snowmaker

I bought the current one a few years ago and have yet to play it. Maybe I should watch it first and see if I really want to double dip.

BuddyRevell

Can't say I like the name change, but the new cover looks really good.

Artman

Yeah, I thought it started out good enough but just got a little too wierd as it went on. I traded it in.

tofferman

It's getting harder to justify these double dips as more and more titles end up being released in hi def. I may get this one regardless...

I meant the mastering of the dvd is terrible,not the stylish look of the film. And I'm one who loves and appreciates film grain and dirt and mono soundtracks. So I know the difference between the two and was not complaining about the intentinoal rough/gritty/dirty/grainly style choices of the film itself.

Basically the dvd is unwatchable on a large HD set. Since huge electronic dots cover the screen, along with wavy fuzzy lines,blocky imagery of everything. And it's like watching the film through a very fuzzy reception where you see a lot of snow and barely any of the imagery.

On a smaller tv set,especially a 4.3 tv. The film is watchable,but my god when I watched the opening scene on my brothers 55 inch HD set. Every single technical issue with the dvd mastering was onscreen and made the image unwatchable.

I picked up the R rated version at Wal-Mart for $4.88 since they had a ton of Warner dvds they were giving away. And the film looked great on my brothers large HD tv set.

So again,it's the mastering of the unrated dvd that is the issue. Not the style of the film itself! And that is why a 16.9 release of the unrated Natural Born Killers is sorely needed!
