I would imagine that they would. Target carries "Brazil" and "The Last Emperor," for example.

The only Criterion I have ever seen at Target is FLiLV, which is weird because I have seen it in every single Target store it has ever been in. I wonder if they have some sort or weird deal that they will stock FLiLV in all of their stores.

i've seen that one and "Chasing Amy" for like $10.00 as well.

I still havnt seen any reviews for this but I did find this run time of extras on the R2. I would like to think this is what we get here on the 2-disk Criterion version as well:

* Tech Scouts (RT 12:53; New Featurette)
* Birth (RT 4:00; New Featurette)

# Easter Egg (RT 2:00)

I don't see why it wouldn't be available everywhere. This was a HUGE movie. More mainstream movies like Life Aquatic and Royal Tenenbaums were everywhere (I remember specifically getting the 2 disc Life Aquatic at Walmart).

In for the Blu-ray, btw.

DVD Beaver review: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDRe...on_blu-ray.htm

Video looks pretty good. The commentary and the 3 hour long documentary sound great.

Back cover art:

It's still a shame that Brad Pitt isn't on the commentary. He's great on the Fight Club and Se7en tracks.

So excited about the Blu-Ray release

Also I got a look at the packaging today for the SD (I do inventory at my workplace) and it's a clear Amaray with slipcover for anyone interested.

Just a heads up, no commentary, extras or scene selections on the Netflix DVD rental.

$19.99 ($22.99 - $3.00 coupon) for a 2-disc Criterion SDVD is not such a bad deal.

Never got it from amazon....damnit! They just emailed that they're sorry to not be able to get it to me. I pre-ordered the thing in March..why is not in my hands now?

I'm personally disappointed they didn't do anything creative for the artwork (also not a fan of the keepcases where you have one disc on each side), but otherwise, a solid DVD. The standard transfer is amazing.

Mine came with a tray for the second disc.

The Blu-Ray doesn't; it has one on each side.

I'd love to see a Polish poster for this.

Just got done seeing the review for this set on AOTS. Kevin calls it the "Criteri-Yawn Collection".

Yeah, but it looked like he was talking about the DVD.

Has anyone tried removing the "Director Approved" sticker from the slipcase? I want to see if it'll come off easily or if it will leave all the residue.

Comes off very easily with no residue.

Ditto the Blockbuster in-store rental.

I have never had such a hard time finding a slipcover in good condition. Every single slipcover at my Best Buy was either torn up, scratched, or falling apart. The slipcover I got was the best they had, and even it is in awful condition.

Yeah it comes right off without leaving any residue behind..thats really good too because most leave that sticky residue which is annoying and so ugly lol!

And that's why we should be thankful to the man who created Goo-Gone.

I got my copy of the 2 disc Criterion release at Wal-Mart yesterday for 24.96 and yes that is a darn good deal. I have two Wal-Marts and the other one wanted 29.96 so I just bought it at the one that had it for 24..lol!

Same for the standard def. dvd well at least mine anyways. I like it better than the flip tray thing as it's easier.
