Finally picked this up... [img] http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/protectedimage.php?image=DaveFoster/sincity_r1se.jpg[/img] ...I don't know what I was waiting for. Everything is beautiful; The coverart and packaging--although simple--is great in itself (the red slip at the bottom, with the characters on it removes itself). I like it much better than the old artwork on the one disk edition. I've only watched one of the commentaries, and have yet to watch the extended versions of "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard!", but the rest of the features, for the most part, are excellent, and very informative. Some of the features on disk two can get draggy if you aren't in the mood, but are also very cool, and if you wish to learn more about the films production (like me) they are also very helpful. The two I found most interesting off disk two was the 14 interrupted minutes of Tarantino working with the actors, and putting together the scene he directed, and then the super-sped up version of the film without any effects... Just the actors, and a green screen. I watched the commentary Rodreguiz and Miller did together last night, and it only made me further appreciate the acting skills of the cast even more; it turns out there were several moments in which an actor was being shot all by themselves--due to the tight schedule and short notice they had to make casting calls (Rodreguiz says they started shooting about a week or two after he impressed Miller with his "test" that they pretty much used to wow the cast into joining the film). I plan to watch the second commentary tonight; Robert Rodreguiz and Quentin Tarantino. Can't wait.

Yeah, I'm glad I finally got it... I've been pushing it off since december. Although, I found it funny how the clerks at my local FYE (the over-priced, bull-shit existence of a store) wouldn't sell it to me due to the fact that I am still 16, but when I walked nextdoor, the people at Target were more than happy to hand it over for a signifigantly lower price.  For the record, I hate FYE... blah. I almost had to make due to them after learning that Suncoast (most amazing place ever) had been shut down. I suppose I'm going to be returning to my ways of amazon.com now.

Well, I always liked the Suncoast here, because the people have always been helpful (unlike most places, they knew alot about films). I also liked it because they were very nice there, knew me by name (but, again, I was in there several times a week), and I had a replay card which got me many discounts. I'm going to miss it.

Yeah, I am excited about watching The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastards in their extended forms.
But I want to listen to the other commentary first... Never got around to it last night, due to a flow of work, but it should happen tonight... Hopefully.

Go to the 2/13 "Daily Column" and go about halfway down. You should see Dazed and Confused in bold print

Hey, Irish, how is The Weatherman ? I've been wanting to see it for some time now... I might go rent it tonight, or something.

Sounds promising enough. And the trailers and clips I've seen we're all excellent... Yeah, I think I'll pick this up later tonight.
