Wow. Awesome, I didn't know the features were released. Good to see them carried from the Centennial collection.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

I recently watched an HD airing of this (on HDNet Movies, I believe). The movie looked great. Would like to listen to the commentary and watch the documentary.

I got the press release just now along with the artwork:

^ Not sure why the background is like that, it was added by imgur.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

What about The Two Jakes??

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

"Meh." That's what.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

:thumbsup:

Agreed. I wouldn't mind if they tossed it in, though.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

I liked "The Two Jakes". It's no Chinatown, but it's not a bad film.

How many of those extras are brand-new...anyone know?

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

None.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

Jack Nicholson DVDTalk account spotted.

The Towne/Fincher commentary, "Water & Power" doc and appreciation featurette all seem to be new. Unless there was another Chinatown DVD release I wasn't made aware of.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

All ported over from the 2009 Centennial Collection release, reviewed here.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

yeah...I don't remember there being a Fincher commentary.

EDIT: well fuck...guess it is an older feature. Never got that edition.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

Ah, that would probably explain it as I have never heard of that edition before.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

On it.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

Sounds great. Probably get it on the day of release.

Though I'd like to see...

1. The deleted "Travel to Catalina" scene showing Gittes on the plane going to visit Noah Cross. Not sure if it was shot and I'm glad it's NOT in the movie, but I'd love to see it as an extra.

2. The script for CLOVERLEAF- the last of the Gittes trilogy.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

I should have guessed...freakin' Paramount.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

The previous SE seemed pretty comprehensive though, with around 80 minutes of featurettes and a commentary, plus the full-length Water and Power documentary, now in HD. I don't have any complaints.

Better look at cover
 

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

Will gladly purchase this one...

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

glad i sold my cc on amazon for $60 over the summer

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

Damn I kinda liked that aquamarine color even though it was an imgur mistake.

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

First impressions of the BD I've found, from Robert Harris over at the HTF.

His praise is lukewarm at best.

You'll forgive us if some wait for other reviews/opinions. :)

Re: Chinatown - April 3rd!!!!!
 

It was not meant to be the be-all and end-all of reviews. It was, like I said, the first impression I've found. I assume some will be interested.
