Not to pick a fight with you, but you need to read my original post a little more closely. I was trying to think of a previous barebones release that had a SRP as high as this one. The Criterion Armageddon, while mainstream, would hardly be called barebones.

Why isn't the studio releasing any details of a "Special Edition". I would like to see a 3 to 4 disc set on this, as this was certainly one of the best movies in some time to be chronciled. There is so much information out there. If they only pulled a "New Line" and said, "yes, we are releasing the DVD on Aug. 31, but be aware that we are also planning a more elaborate special edition as we speak."
This is one title were Special Features are needed greatly

To coincide with this release, South Park is releasing their episode "The Passion of the Jew" on dvd the same day.
Also on the disc are the religious themed episodes "Christian Rock Hard", and "Red Hot Catholic Love".

This is some of the most absurd, ridiculous drivel I've heard. You can't believe they're trying to milk in on "church people." Hmmm, a movie about the crucifixion of the Christ and they're actually targeting church people. Wow! That IS odd.
And somehow releasing two different versions of a DVD about said Crucifixion actually "lessens the reason of Christianity more and more." Have any of you actually seen the film, cause if so, you obviously didn't "get it."

Not even worth responding to.

Why I'm against a fullscreen release of The Passion is because it's a film that should NEVER be shown in fullscreen. It'll have way too much of a different impact if shown in fullscreen. This is why I hope when it makes it's TV debut that it's shown in hi-def anamorohic.

I won't answer for wm lopez, but just as this was a film that marketed itself to people who don't see many movies, I would guess this will be many people's first DVD purchase. Plenty of these first timer buyers won't be educated on the benefits of widescreen (or like so many, won't care), and will just buy the full screen disc because "it fills up my TV."
