Best news ever! Not my favorite Python movie, but still a great one. Any mention about the short that was in front of this in the original DVD... I can't think of the name right now, but something to do with insurance. It would truely suck for anyone without the original to not have that great short.

but personally I think the Every Sperm Is Sacred skit might be the best Python skit ever
This is not my favorite Python movie, but just for Every Sperm Is Sacred skit I will buy it. Hilarious!

Wow! Look at all the special features on this disc, courtesy of Amazon.com:
Um, no....that's not right, I don't think. Although it would be just like the Pythons to release a special edition of one film and include all the special features from another film. I wonder what the commentaries would be like?

From The Daily Llama:
Disc 1
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - the original film, from a new high definition master and Dolby 5.1 soundtrack
Prologue by Eric Idle - the original poem that Eric wrote to Universal, which was all that was needed to secure funding, is performed in person for the first time
Director's cut - see the film with three deleted scenes reinserted into the film
Audio commentary track - features great commentary and banter from Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam
"Soundtrack for the Lonely" - Michael Palin's hilarious soundtrack for people watching the DVD at home alone
Disc 2
The Meaning of Making The Meaning of Life - a new 50 minute film featuring historical as well as brand new interviews with the Pythons, original electronic press kit materials, footage from the Cannes film festival, and behind-the-scenes clips
Education Tips - a totally new sketch written by Michael Palin and John Cleese and performed by Cleese, Palin, and Terry Jones
Un Film de John Cleese - a new trailer for the film edited by John Cleese
Re-Mastering a Masterpiece - a hilarious video documentary about how the print for Meaning of Life was restored
Song & Dance - an in-depth look at some of the musical numbers from the film, including interviews with Terry Jones, famed choreographer Arlene Philips, and dancer Jane Leeves (now known for her role as Daphne on NBC's Frasier)
Songs Unsung - actual alternative versions of some of the songs from the film, performed in person by the Pythons who wrote them
Selling the Meaning of Life - the original trailer, television and radio spots, including the first-ever and slightly-unsuccessful "advertisement by telepathy"
Deleted Scenes - the scenes that didn't make it (some with commentaries)
Virtual Reunion - how do you get all of the Pythons together for a reunion?
What Fish Think - turn your television into a virtual fish tank, Python style
DVD-ROM features - includes the whole screenplay, the script for several scenes that were never filmed, the sheet music to many of the film's songs, and Mr. Creosote's The Joy of Fat recipes

Anybody know what the three deleted scenes are? I would assume that one of them is the Martin Luther sketch that you could see if you got to a certain point in the Meaning of Life video game, but I don't think I know of any others that were cut from this movie...
