Hopefully it has a new transfer because the current release is terribly grainy.

The original release has:

- Director Intro
- Commentary by Haggis, Cheadle and Moresco
- Crash: Behind the Scenes
- Trailer

That's it...

I loved this movie so sadly there is enough extras that I will buy this version and sell of my old copy.

this is what pisses me off. There was never any talk that the initial release was anything but a director's cut. This is purely to cash in from the awards publicity.

Nothing offical was said, but there was some talk of one on here.

I read the Crash thread regularly so I either overlooked it or forgot about it. Damn. I guess I'll wait & see exactly what's different before I pick it up. Again.

I briefly hoped this was for the Cronenberg movie, and then my hopes were dashed.

This is not the VHS days when bad transfers were used for films on a regular basis and no care was taken of them. Newer films usually use new transfers(since they're new) and look the way they are/were intended.

So people should not freak out when a modern film is made to be intentionally grainier than most films. And in this films case..it wasn't 'too grainy' that it was distracting. In fact I hardly noticed it as being 'too grainy'. So I guess people just expect pristinely crystal clear 3D sharp as hell digital quality picture today...over a natural film look.


If they did try to make the film look 'less grainy',it would look worse and not natural. Thus ruining the atmosphere of the film the director and cinemtographer worked hard to set up.

Being that this is Lion's Gate and they fuck up all their releases nowadays. I'd rush out and buy the one currently on the market.

Exactly. Watch them botch the aspect ratio on this one or something to that extent.

Curious to know of what the added (or excised) scenes are.

The movie is already perfect, what else could they add? Regardless, this is on my 'to get immediately' list.

After seeing that this film was nominated for so many awards, I just recently put it in my must watch ASAP pile (I've had the disc since it came out, but just haven't gotten around to watching it). Now (if I like it, which I'm assuming I will) I'm gonna have to go buy it again in two months. It does look like a nice DVD, though.

This one will also have "NOMINATED FOR 6 ACADEMY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE AND BEST DIRECTOR" on the cover.



I'm picking this up. More Crash footage = good thing.

If they only could make it shorter, I may be able to make it through it!
It happened with Dark Water, who knows?

The back of the current release says the running time is 122 minutes, when it's actually more like 112. I'm guessing the 122 will be the "director's cut" runtime.

maybe this cut of the film will change my opinion of the film, in that I thought the theatrical cut had some plot holes.

Maybe this cut of the film will add genuine characters instead of cyphers.

Again, regardless of what horse the Academy rides in on , this is still the best movie of the year.
