I've held off buying that old DVD set for years, as it was rumored to be released by Criterion. I've been waiting like 7 years. You might be able to still unload it.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe only the Director's Cut has ever been released on DVD or Blu-ray. The theatrical cut was released on VHS and Laserdisc.

I doubt Criterion betters the presentation. At best, they can match it.
it's an astounding hidef transfer with the colors having tremendous pop - I honestly don't think I have a reason to get the Criterion edition owning this already.

I own the laserdisc and I saw it in the theaters, but I honestly have not seen the 'director's cut' of this, I'm very excited that this is being released via Criterion - I want to see a deluxe edition of 'Raising Arizona' (I love that movie).

Not exactly, it's mainly the sections featuring Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2 with some supporting material from three other plays and Holinshed's Chronicles (which Shakespeare used for a number of plays). So not really any new material, but rearranging existing material to give us kind of a "Falstaff's greatest hits" collection.

As much as I like comic book art, I don't care for it as covers/posters for movies.

Good to hear that Del Toro's Spanish language trilogy will be complete on Criterion. Also, that Pan's Labyrinth cover is NOT drawn by Mike Mignola, the artist who drew Cronos and the Devil's Backbone ones. FYI

Ooh. I'm going to have to get that. I only have the DVD.

Nice cover. It looks like Becky Cloonan's art. Wonder if it is.

I don't care for the art on that Pan's steelbook - that eyeball-hands character is in only one scene, and hardly does anything. It's not at all a good representation for the movie. It would be like having Greedo on the cover of Star Wars IV.

i think that creature, while brief, was very iconic...
