I think they pretty much only make the non-unrated version to sell at Walmart and rent at Blockbuster and other retailers that feel the need to impose their morals on their customers.

Which means of course that they'll lose a lot of business on these titles.

Do we know a suggessted retail price point yet?

^Powerbomb, $28 I think it said in the info. But you know it'll be 15-20 opening week. I don't think we need to worry about studios' SRP anymore on new releases.

Definitley one of the better movies this year. Easy buy for me, I really enjoyed the movie. The extras sound great.

The MAP is $19.95, which means that they can't advertise the disc for less than that.

The Minimum Advertised Price is the reason for all of those "HOT PRICE" ads you see. It's not the stores that want to keep the price from you - it's their deal with the studios - they get product cheaper if it comes with a MAP attached, and the wink and a nod agreement from the studios is that they'll set the MAP pretty high, so no one would advertise that price or sell it for that much anyway.

At least the playing field is level - every store will list "Low Price" or "Hot Price" for those new titles.

Oh, heck, here's a scan of the ad. The MSRP is $29.98, btw, which will likely mean a ~$20 retail price.

Looks like a pretty solid DVD, probably give it a blind buy in August.

Where are you August, I need my Elisha.

I rented The Girl Next Door the Unrated version tonight, and I noticed that it was a double sided disc. I thought that the two sided disc went out a few years ago. What's with Fox releasing it this way?

Production of two disc possibly more? seemed like an odd thing.

i thinm they did it to make it look like a porn...i have a few that look like that

I found the double sided disc annoying as well. Especially since there's a single layer on both sides. It should have been a dual-layered disc with everything on the same side.

I went with the unrated R3 version. A bit cheaper than the R1.

That makes sense. I have Goodfellas on dvd also and I think they made it look like porn as well. That's some marketing gimmick if I ever seen one.

no elisa cuthbert nudity = NO sale!

Sung Hi Lee

Although she's gettin' up there in years, she's still smokin'. Plus the topless scene of her

aww, and she comes SOOO close in the voyeur bedroom scene too!

check it out anyway, I was pleasantly surprised...good special features too!

Elisha rocks my world. I'm in love with that woman. Unfortunately, she won't be in '24' next season....grrrr....

i rented this and elisha is hot enough that even though she isn't naked i will still eventually buy this. not that there's anything wrong with her getting naked....

She's not even naked in the Unrated Cut?

Isn't nudity the POINT of unrated cuts? I mean, what makes it "too h0tt for theatres!!!" then?

there's a decent amount of nudity in this. I didn't see the theatrical cut.

Some nudity is: lots of nudity in the strip club (esp. the lap dance scene). The 2 pornstars are also nude in the prom/video scene.

Score

I hate to tell you guys but there is absolutely no difference in the theatrical and unrated cuts. I saw this in the movies and it had the exact same amount of nudity as in the unrated cut. The strip club scene and the prom/video scene were indeed in the movie. Unless there was some dialogue added in, this "Unrated" stuff was just a marketing scheme.

I heard that in the US theatrical cut that the lap dance strippers were wearing bikinis while in the unrated DVD they're topless.

^^That may be true since the lapdance scene in one of the deleted\extended\bloopers sections shows them with bikini tops on.

Yes the women are super hot, but the movie is also pretty damn funny. This was a fine blind purchase for me.

Great movie, but disappointed in the Double sided Single Layer the way the movie was presented. Makes you wonder if an SE is going to be released soon with a higher bitrate.
