I think that's one of the examples that I was remembering seeing that scared me off from ever ordering online for ship to home.

Unfortunately 8/14 is smack dab at the start of my busiest time of the year. I won't have access to a vehicle until after Labor day, and I'm working pretty much all day, every day till then. I just got lucky last year.

Plain ole vanilla on this one for me, I guess.

Order two, return one maybe?

If the movie wasn't long enough already, looks like we might be getting an extended cut on blu ray

Nice. So a an almost 3.5 Watchmen-style-Ultimate Cut. Works for me!

I can see that release prior to Avengers 4 being released, or being released in conjunction with the DVD/Bd/UHD release of A4.

I'll be very surprised if we see it in September.

I'll be looking forward to it, but it won't stop me from getting IW asap.

Is this the first time that a MCU home release gets an extended cut? I don’t remember any other MCU movies having it.

It had a long running time, but so much was going on that it didn't feel overly long to me. I've sat through some 90-minute films that felt longer.

I get the digital versions anyway, so I will probably get the disc/digital combo that's usually offered through VUDU.

I can't find anything about this, search results are only coming up with a book that's apparently being released. I've been wanting a documentary that talks about everything from the what-if aspects of starting with Iron Man, moving to realizing they had a hit and how to plan out the phases, culminating in the recent Avengers movies.

Just a heads up, that original Best Buy artwork has changed and now only shows two discs

I remember reading something about an extended version of the film, something like an extra half hour focused on Thanos.

I'm guessing that it isn't on this release, then? Maybe a double dip down the road? (Hopefully not an exclusive in a "Phase III" boxed set.)

My first thought was a double dip around the time the next movie arrives in theaters. Possibly also with the extra disc recently pulled from being included in the first release.

I could see them doing an ultimate edition down the line including both films.

In case you haven't seen it, here's the artwork. It's basically the movie poster artwork:








I'm not waiting for a Black Friday discount on this one. Loved this movie and want it the week it comes out.

what does "multi-screen edition" mean exactly?

When's the last time Disney did an actual, legitimate double dip for a film that was not a catalog title?

The Force Awakens is the only title I can think of which got a second release prior to the release of Rogue One.

I think it’s just some new marketing term they made up for a digital copy or whatever. Basically you can use your tv or a smartphone/tablet/laptop or whatever else. I’m in for just the normal version. I’ve gotten the 4K editions of Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther and probably will for this release too. Either that or just the regular Blu-ray.

They keep re-releasing their animated titles every couple years with new special features. Snow White, Bambi, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, etc.

Does that count? But yeah, I don't think they have done that with any Marvel titles yet, other than the older ones that didn't have digital copies when they were first released.

They’ve re-released some with different cover art but I think that’s about all. That may have been when they added digital copies for some of them too. It doesn’t seem like a typical Disney thing to release a different cut of a movie in general really.

Did a little more digging, and it sounds like this was a false alarm. The reports of an extra thirty minutes came from Jim Starlin, the writer of the original comics and creator of Thanos. It sounds like this stuff was in the script but not actually filmed.

Solid review. Can't wait to watch this one again.

Is that directors roundtable available anywhere else?

On disc in Japan, apparently. Digital everywhere else. No retailer-exclusive discs this time around.
