DVD Talk review of 'V for Vendetta - Two-Disc Special Edition'
I read Francis Rizzo III's DVD review of V for Vendetta - Two-Disc Special Edition at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=22734 and...
I still have mine being shipped to me and haven't seen it yet, but it's too bad that they aren't putting more into the extras disc. With so much relevant things going on today, there could have been tons of material that would have been interesting to see discussed.
Also, if there were EVER a case for a "gift package" set of DVD's along with other items (like the Creative Design folks used to do with other "special" films), this film is MADE for that. They could have a monster gift package selling this close to Halloween and the election with a V mask and/or costume bundled with the 2 disc DVD set. I think there are many who would take advantage of this "one stop shopping" to take care of Halloween and their own "Remember, remember" sequence during the election datys in November coming with buying such a set. Too bad Warner didn't see fit to take that chance. Perhaps they were afraid of fellow corporate lashbacks if they put out the ultimate tool for corporate rule lashback for sale. Perhaps that is also what limited what was on this extras disc too. I wonder if there was more material planned for it earlier that got yanked for political reasons.

Yes, they want to sell "junk", but not foment the real anti-corporate message that the movie has in real life. I think the Best Buy deal was a bait and switch, making you think it was the real thing. I went there yesterday morning fully prepared to buy the whole set (even though I had a web order being shipped to me), if I could get a decent REAL mask, but discovered it was a waste of time. I way too much decorative junk around the house. Don't need more.
