I won't buy this because I already have the original one, but I won't bitch too much about it either.
I can't imagine what else might be on a new release to make it worth the DD. But what it might do is get a lot of fence-sitters to finally pick up the title. People have come to expect constant DD's, so there is a whole new class of consumer out there...those that refuse to buy until the inevitable DD is released.

More fish kicking! (deleted scene)

I probably won't even notice a new and improved version. Happy with the first go-round.

That's me. At least for newly released movies. If you can't tell by now that there will be a SE for any relatively popular new movie, you aren't paying attention. The movies don't even have to be good anymore. Ignore the barebones and wait for the real release.

Fox is slowly working their way down to Columbia level with their double dippings. At least their transfers are generally good.

Maybe now I'll be able to find a previously viewed copy of the current version at a decent price.

It's official. Fox will double-dip on every single title, even Fox Searchlight titles that jackskeleton can't predict (you know, since he works for Fox and all).

i hope they call it the large talons edition....

with the great commentary and short film already on the disc, not sure what else they have sitting around to add on. But i would imagine as many copies as this has sold the initial printings are running low. so why not redo some stuff and add on.

and I want to be the first to place the bet that hot topic gets a exclusive LE Tin like they did for Donnie darko...gosh

I don't know how others feel, but I'd like to see the deleted scenes restored to the film--or, at least, to have the option to watch the film with them. I still think that the deleted "holy chip" scene with Pedro is just as funny, if not funnier, than anything in the film.

They also could add features on the film's impact on pop culture and how the town of Preston, Idaho, has become a tourist boomtown because of the film, footage from Jon Heder's college tour and other post-theatrical-release supplements that couldn't have been done for the first DVD. And it could come with a "Vote for Pedro" iron-on design to make your own T-shirt.

I agree with the large talons edition, I also am wondering what else they could add to this? I doubt they had much for behind-the-scenes cameras. I doubt many more of the deleted scenes would be even worth including. Who else would do a commentary if they added another commentary? The guy who played Pedro?

Ok, Ok, I figured it out. It will be a 2-disc special edition with disc 1 being the original disc and disc 2 being D-Qwon's Dance Grooves.

I would be all over a Hot Topic shiny tin version if one ever came into existance. Shiny tins are pretty much my favorite types of DVD cases.

All I know is Tina better get her due justice with at least a new commentary track cause she pretty much carried the movie with her sweet ham eating skillz.

It surprised me. Those "indie" titles usually get the double dip right up front like Kinsley and I <3 Huckabee's.

Guess that the searchlight stuff is not safe ground anymore. Than again, this could simply be because of the Hot Topic crowd behind it all. I'm still not going to expect a SE for Garden State since it didn't have the same knock out merchindising power as Nap did.

I love this movie but I don't think there'll be anything new on here to get me interested enough to doubledip.

Special edition, a few months after the initial release...why doesn't this surprise me.

I make it a point not to buy many movies that are bare-bones immediately for this very reason (unless it's a Million Dollar Baby must own immediately type of movie).

At any rate, loved this gem of a movie and will add it to my collection sometime in the near future. I saw the actor who plays Napolean on Conan (or Jay) and he's not too far from his character IMO. Great little movie, it really surprised me.

You aren't implying that the original release of Napoleon Dynamite was bare-bones, are you? It is far from it, I was very very impressed on the special features included on the initial release. That's why many (myself included) are surprised that there is another edition coming out. I'm not sure what more they can add.
