Basic Instinct : Ultimate Edition ----> 3/14/06
In the spirit of unnecesary double dippings, Lionsgates is releasing Basic Instinct : Ultimate Edition on March 14th, according to davisdvd.com . This time is has a new anamorphic widescreen transfer, so maybe it isn't as bad as Sony's trend in double dipping. More info here:

Ummm...where in that article does it stated a "new" anamorphic transfer? It sounds like the previous uncut version.
Either way, I won't be buying this again until HD. I think it's a Blu-ray release. |

Maybe it's a "new anamorphic widescreen transfer" in 1.78:1?

From DavisDVD.com: With a sequel from Sony Pictures due in theaters at the end of March, Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release a new Basic Instinct: Ultimate Edition on March 14th.

Q. What comes after this Ultimate Edition? A. Extreme Edition A. Basic Instinct : Ice Picking, Leg Crossing, Sexy Unrated, Short Blond Hair, Beaver Edition |
No "Ice Pick" included this go-round?
|
I already have my "Ice Pick" version. :nopanic:
Depending on the quality of the extras, I might get it. |
I have the Icepick version and a copy of the old release with the unintentionally hilarious DVS track. I think I'm done for now.

Too bad they didn't do DTS like other countries.
|
They really need a trivia track on this.
A bubble with an arrow points to Mrs. Stone's furry friend with the text, "TRIVIA TIME: Sharon Stone was not wearing any underwear in this scene." |
This should be cheaper because you can get the old SE for like 5.50 at Walmart. Nobody is going to pay $20 for this.
|
Yeah ... no icepick, no sale.
|
that was an expected release but i know an online retailer that still sells the OOP "ice-pick" version, do you guys think i should buy the ice-pick version or wait for this release?
|
I'll stick with the icepick version I have.

Since the unrated SE is out of print from the looks of it(it's not listed on many sites for example). I would definitely get this upcoming release if you don't own the film already. Though make sure it is in the correct aspect ratio before hand!
And for the record,the copies at Target and Wal-Mart for $5 is the R rated version. So that is best left avoided for obvious reasons:) |

So the Camille Paglia feature is dropped? That's no fun.
|
This is just Sony being Sony.

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. :) |

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.
--THX |
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.
