Re: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 5/5/09
I was going to get the single disc for my mom for Mother's Day. Of course, it says in stock at Amazon on the listing page, but when you go to checkout, it says "in stock on May 7". I'm a Prime member, so even if I overnight it, it says estimated delivery May 11. ARGH!!!!

i saw that last night too and i don't think he said it like that. he in fact praised Criterion and knew they are known for an abundance of extras.

I know he praised the company, It's just that his pronounciation of "Criterion" was what busted me up......Or unless that's how it's always been pronounced as?

Re: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 5/5/09
yeah but it doesnt matter to me because it was worth every penny paid and plus I had more than enough money for it..lol Also 3 dollars off wouldn't have done much good it would have basicly just been like taking off the 3 dollars for the tax so it would have made it 24 either way.

im guessing you can place that blame on criterion, as their new, more eco-friendly paper packaging is not only biodegradable, it degrades just sitting on your shelf too.

I don't understand these company executives making packaging more eco-friendly. If you are going to do that, then why even include a slipcover in the first place? Same thing goes with those flimsy-as-shit, less-plastic packages they are using now. Do they even realize that when I get a package like that, I immediately remove the cover art and disc, throw it away, and put it in a sturdy case? I have never thrown away a case before; if anything, I imagine the transition had produced more waste than ever before as far as DVD packaging is concerned.

I got mine through Columbiahouse but if you are not a member there Deepdiscount has the 2-disk Criterion for $19.99 with free shipping.

Sorry if this has been asked. Is there a difference in the transfer/mastering between the 1 disc and 2 disc criterion sd dvds? Is Disc 1 of the Criterion the same as the 1 disc dvd?

Good question. Not sure if the transfers are the same but the Criterion has a commentary that the single disc doesn't. So not the same disc.
Just got through watching the documentary. The best I've seen for a high profile film in years.

Can't wait to check out the extras, actually can't wait to check out the feature too. I haven't seen it yet. Go ahead, flame on.

Are the special features on the 2 disc and blu-ray the same or are there any exclusive features?
