Napoleon Dynamite SE planned
 

Saw this in an issue of Video Business and says that it's coming out 4th qtr as will Mr and Mrs. Smith, and Fantastic Four.

these double-dips are beginning to piss me off.

I totally agree with you dick.

glad I held off on the initial release.

Glad I never got around to picking up the original release.

jeesh, they already have speculative dates for Mr and Mrs. Smith, and Fantastic Four - well that saves me some extra bucks and time.

How do speculative dates for Mr and Mrs. Smith and Fantastic Four save you time and money?

I guess he wasn't sure they were going to get released on DVD,so he was going to watch them in the theater...

well let's see, I can still list them in my 2005 Film list. If there not playing near my home I don't have to worry about the cost of the subway ride to and from the theatre ($3), or factor in the amount of popcorn/drink that I usually buy ($8). I don't have to endure the mindnumbing pre-film ads.

The summer blockbusters are usually out on DVD before christmas time.

You just have to learn how to ignore the double-dips that you don't really need. Like in this case, I thought Napolean Dynamite was pretty funny, but do I really need to see any more special features than I've already seen on the original DVD? No, so I just keep my original DVD and don't worry about it.

I agree. Now-a-days I ask myself if the extras will REALLY be worth the extra expense. Most of the time the answer is no.

I hear the special edition will have deleted scenes of Napoleon staring into space and looking glazed over and grumbling some more.

Cant wait.

Actually I'm the same way. I rarely double-dip, unless it's for something I really want. But as a completist and collector, it gets frustrating.

So if those DVDs were coming in, say, January 2006, then you would spend whatever extra money to see them in the theatre? :confused:

I wonder if book collectors have this problem. You know, like when they release a new edition of a book. Its the same story inside but its just in a new cover...hmmmm.

no... :D

That's not really the same since double dips, by their very nature, don't have the same stuff inside.
A better comparison would be books re-released with say author's annotations (like my copy of The Hobbit), extended edition (like SK's The Stand) or a new translation of, say, Beowulf.
You have to look at those features, usu depending on reviewers, to see if they're worth your while.


Haven't bought Napoleon yet, keep meaning to watch it, maybe I'll PPV it or something and wait.

Gosh.

I'm glad I held off on buying this for now, I can't wait for the SE.

I have never double dipped before, and I think that only if this is a 2-discer with spectacular extras will i consider. I refuse to give in to the studios.

I don't own the available version (I seem to be the only one in my family and circle of friends), but I didn't think there was a whole lot else that could've been done with it. The extra material seemed to be enough.

This smells more like a cash-in than anything else, so I will hold off.

I completely agree. However, double dips still piss me off based on principle.

Maybe they are doing it because it has sold so well on DVD and there is apparently a huge market for this.

I won't buy this because I already have the original one, but I won't bitch too much about it either.

Okay, I'll be the first...

I'll be buying it regardless.

= J

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.

I Want That

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.

Whoa, a Napoleon Dynamite SE? Sweet! I'm glad I haven't bought the current one. Yessssssssss...

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.

Sweeeeeet!

The defect in this one is capitalism?

yah i guess a stand alone dance grooves and rex-kwan do commercial would be fun

They must think we're freakin' <i>IDIOTS!</i>
