As for the aforementioned extras, these weren't on the original release;

*The Real Napoleon Dynamite Doc.
*Napoleon Sightings
*ESPN & TRL Promos
*SNL opening w/ Jon Heder
*MTV Movie Awards Clips
*Cartoon Network's Napoleon Bonomite
*Teen Choice Awards Clips

The only MTV Movie Awards clip available on DVD was Napoleon as Batman on the "Batman Begins" 2 Disc SE, and that clip was fucking GOLD. I'd love to have the rest on DVD. Promos like this are fantastic extras, especially in a package like this.

Cover art sucks, though...

I wouldn't say ALL bonus features are filler. Look at the ones on The Fly:SE, most Criterion DVDs, From Dusk Till Dawn:SE, Devil's Rejects....

Even the original Napoleon Dynamite DVD I wouldn't really call filler. The original short film was cool to have, and the deleted scenes were great.

The documentary and the sightings features could be something worthwhile, but I could live without having the rest of the stuff.

And agreed on the cover.

I'll stick with the original release. The new extra features aren't substantial enough to reconcile an upgrade.

According to the disc's producer (David Prior) on HTF, there's going to be more deleted scenes on this release (including the ones already included on the first go-around). Also, the two documentaries on the DVD will total almost 80 minutes.

I might get this because I loved Jon Heder's appearance on SNL (and as long as all of the features from the original are transferred to the new set). But since it isn't a flipper anymore, I'm probably going to.

Coverart? Where?

(i want to thread crap but I will resist)

Amazing movie! If you have a great sense of humor, check this out!

Anyone see the BestBuy exclusive set (I think?). Comes with 2 bobble-heads and Ipod skins

Here's a *little* better page with some better pictures:

BestBuy.com Link

I was going to pass on the new release, but I may have to pick up this version for the bobble heads.

I wonder which iPod the skins will be for? I have the video iPod, but there's the shuffle, the nano, etc...

In the Link that DJ_Longfellow put up, it has this information:

"Set of 5 EXCLUSIVE I-PodŽ skins (5 brand new designs never available before) o 3 Nano o 1 Mini o 1 20/40 gig"

MrStayPuft 03-20-06 05:33 PM

I wasn't planning on picking this up either, but those bobble-heads are mighty tempting. I have the Tommyboy one, and he is a bit lonely :(

astrochimp 03-20-06 05:45 PM

Sweet!

matome 03-20-06 07:57 PM

OK, I'm definitely picking up that Best Buy exclusive.

I absolutely hates this movie...the first time I watched it. I then saw it a second time and liked it a little, then a third time and I really liked it. It grows on you like fungus!

Cinemaddiction 05-16-06 02:28 AM

I went to Wal Mart this evening because I'm incredibly impatient, and stumbled across this..

At $19.77 er whatever wacky price, it was more "do-able" than $30+ for some bobbleheads or iPod skins.

Anybody know the specifics on the Target downloads (iTunes?)?

No one's reported back in on those yet. I believe Mr. Cinema was interested in those over in the Bargains Forum.

slop101 05-16-06 02:02 PM

Let's see -

the dvd by itself: $16
w/ the bobbleheads: $35

Those things are NOT worth $20 extra...

Yeah, I see what you're saying. The comparable Tommy Boy Holy Shnicke! Edition with a single bobblehead was only $9.99 during release week. But then again that was a 1995 film. :hscratch:

7 free downloads from Amplified.com

The site appears to have a good selection.

AOD 05-16-06 05:00 PM

Those bobble heads are flippin' sweet! They look good next to my Tommy Boy.

xage 05-16-06 05:03 PM

I went for the CircuitCity and BestBuy Limited Set...

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b221/xage00/NPD.jpg

I Got no more $$$ for the Suncoast Exclusive Gift Set (Its a freakin huge box that comes with a lot of goodies) and Walmart (The one with a Shirt)...

If you ask me.. the best among the Exclusive Limited Edition Releases.. I Say the winner would be the Circuit City Sweet Limited Edition GiftSet

darkside 05-16-06 05:23 PM

The bobble heads are kind of cool, but for $20 extra I don't know. I'm probably just grabbing the DVD set for $15 at Circuit City and being done with it.
