So the Camille Paglia feature is dropped? That's no fun.

This is just Sony being Sony.

Actually, this is a Lionsgate release. I was only comparing them to Sony in the useless douple dipping practice.

Whoops, you are correct. The sequel is fron Sony Pictures though. Nevertheless, unless the transfer is improved this is a pointless re-release.

I'll stick with my R2 DTS version with all the extras.

You would think Paramount would release Sharon Stone's other film, "Sliver" on dvd this date to cash in. Damn.

Only way I buy this dvd, is if there is rumored to be an easter egg that leads me to video footage of Stone's actual beaver. :)

Bingo.

I'm sure it will be in their exclusive "DVD Screen Format" 1.78:1

I'll stick with my icepick release.

Well, at least we finally get an example of what a real "Unrated,Director's Cut" should look like!

Well, I dig the new cover art. But they have cut the commentary by Camille Paglia, and added the bits with Sharon Stone. Not a movie I particularly care for, so believe I will be passing.

A completely pointless release. So they've apparently dropped Paglia's commentary and adding some tedious promotional fluff regarding the sequel? Thanks, but I'll stick with the icepick release.

I'll wait until they retitle it to this:
