Blade Runner Criterion DVD???
A friend of mine is really interested in buying this, and I told him I was pretty sure it would be a bootleg.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Mod note: now that the question has been answered I'm removing the link...
thanks

Seriously though that's probably what it is, just a port of the LD.

That is awesome!! It has to be real even if its from the LD, its Criterion LD and all the content is exact. What a thing for a collector!! People must get this, I must get this and put it next to "The Killer"!! I really didn't even know the DVD or LD existed!

I didn't know they could put boots in anamorphic.

Note, I don't remember who it was, and no it wasn't me, so don't ask.
