The movie rocks, as to be expected.
But the disc with "6 hours of features!" is really, really bad.
A 4 minute cutting room thing with 5 bloopers and then some slightly extended (an extra sentence) takes of stuff you've seen a thousand times.
An editing suite where you can choose up to FIVE different shots, with a nice black pause between them, and then see how the original scene was shot!
Interactive stills gallery. Eh? Eh? I can tell you're as wet as I am for that. Pictures! That you can...er...expand slightly sometimes at given points! Interactive a-go-go!!
A whole featurette about "Why Letterbox"! Two tech blokes talking about why seeing more of the picture is better!
In summary, rubbish.
Good film, shoddy extras

Forget Capes... I just found Chuck Norris' offical website, and he welcomes you personally, so have the sound turned up...
High Points:
Photo's of baby Chuck in biography section
Low Points:
He's become a Christian. In his new film, "Bells of Innocence" he kicks Lucifer's butt.

Maybe, but I bet Jeff Bridges can't talk about dragging a truck in a harness can he?

London. grrr.
I won't even get to see this film because the Grinch remains "more popular". And Cats and Dogs. Midlands cinemas must be reaching a point where every person has seen the Grinch. It's been running continuously since its release.
Warwick Arts Centre is my saviour. But they only have one screen. And their schedules blocked up with rubbish films until mid-April. And directors, come there? No chance.

Stupid London people.

Yep, superb movie.
Watching it Monday in London with a discussion afterwards by the director and Jeff Bridges.
Nyah nyah nyah!

Damn you. I was bored. Damn you to Grimsby. Or somewhere.
Anyone seen K-Pax? I recommend it, when it comes out here. Bloody amazing.

I claim the next topic in this forum about "Region 2 extras suck".
There, anyone posts that before me and you clearly looked into my head and stole the words, put them in a different order and intend to pass of my work as your own.
Or something

This is the Region 1, right?
I'm seriously considering getting a multi-region DVD Player, because of the benefits Yanks get.
Dogma Special Edition....mmmm....
They also get films really early compared to us. Although I'm loath to mention games in here, it's the same for consoles. What is it about Britain that they hate?
Tony Blair, definitely.

Six hours of features? How long did they expect you to look at the stills gallery?
French Connection had interesting extras, but the second disc was a bit lightweight: two documentaries, deleted scenes, and William "whoo look at my genius" Friedkin chatting about deleted scenes. And stills galleries... does anyone actually flick through stills galleries?
Yes, R2 extras are crap.

The Region 2 (UK & Europe) features for Smith films are really bad, agreed.
But if you can get Region 1 versions, then they are fantastic, Mallrats especially.
I don't get why we in Europe are treated with such disdain by Studios, we account for the majority of gross, especially with slightly different directors like Smith, Woody Allen, David Lynch etc.
Still, I'm trying to plow through the Jay & Silent Bob features, try 48 deleted scenes just for one bit.
And two music videos, gag reel, hidden features and just about everything you can want in an extras disc.

Se7en 2-disc boxset is only 8 quid on Play. I might get it. Fight Club does have amazing extras, but the best extras I have known belong to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They really made me laugh. And laugh.
The award for most pitiful extras goes to Mallrats. Because there are none.
