I went for the Target one as I liked the lenticular cover. I thought about getting the BB one but I didn't like the movie enought to shell out $36...

I finally watched this yesterday. It was perfect movie for a gray,rainy afternoon. I really enjoyed the movie. As some one posted earlier in the thread, it should serve as a warning to everyone.

In terms of the DVD itself, I thought it was well done. I did end up bumping up the center channel volume a bit to catch all of V's dialogue through the mask. I thought the colors were good and overall good choices for the tone of this movie. It was a netflix rental so only had one disc version and only extra was the making of feature. At some point I will likely buy it, although hopefully can wait until released on HD-DVD (assuming it does get released, and assuming I buy an HD-DVD player :) )

Why is that too bad? Maybe the director is fine with the film as is and doesn't want to add scenes. Not everything has to have an extended edition.

What is too bad is that the HD-DVD (and likely a BD version) is coming soon, so there will be more money to spend. :)

I did not mean to imply that. I said 'too bad' since all the discs are basically the same, so it seemed odd to me that he'd want to buy that many copies of the same flick, but to each his own. Believe me, I understand URs, EEs or DCs of a film are usually just a fluff to sell more.

I normally agree, and very rarely buy big movies on the release day. I normally wait til the EE, UE, etc... But this movie is just so cool. I plan on making a display with all the releases, and I am also getting the replica dagger when it comes out. Believe me, this is a 1 in a 1000 movie for me. Won't be doing the same thing for a while. :)

Keep in mind that's one of three images. It's a rather nice cover. I just wish it held on to the case tighter.

BuckNaked2k 08-31-06 07:26 AM

Damn.....wish I'd gotten that steelbook edition.

Liquid Death 08-31-06 05:21 PM

Thanks for all the pics - that'll make a nice display :)

I might see if they still have them in stock when I come over there on holiday next month.

A local comic dealer, but it is still out there.

These were all the places I was able to find online, and every so often on Ebay too. I just bought from a local dealer because they keep pushing the release date back, and I figured that I would like to have a person as a point of contact in the event they do it again.

heya fellow v4v freaks!

i have a request for assistance. i received my v4v bestbuy exclusive set last week (seriously) after ordering it online the first day it was available. needless to say, box was crushed, both top and bottom were open, and so on. what to do? i returned it.

so im still awaiting my own copy - i have a exchange post looking to buy it also here .

if im not able to get one on the exchange, does anyone know of any bestbuys that still have them in-store locally in southern california?

my last resort will be greedebay, but im hesitant because of shipping issues again.

thanks all!

I saw one copy of this remaining out in Sierra Madre, CA Target.

err? im referring to the bestbuy exclusive :)

Brewc 09-03-06 09:40 AM

I'd like to have the target cover and 2 disc set and put them in the tin would look sweet.

riley_dude 09-04-06 11:07 PM

just saw the movie last night. Really enjoyed it.

Deadpool 09-05-06 08:41 AM

Finally watched this over the weekend. Easily the best movie I watched (Inside Man, Poseidon, Scary Movie 4). Wished I had watched it sooner.

My post was not directed to you I was just generally posting.

Anubis2005X 09-20-06 03:48 PM

Just caught this flick from Netflix a couple of days ago. Absolutely loved it, moreso than I thought I would. I would've gotten the Target lenticular cover, but I figured it would have sold out a few weeks ago. Lo and behold, I said what the heck, stopped by Target on the way home today in Virginia and they had ONE copy left! Woohoo!
