Hmmm, maybe a dumb move ... have they never heard of a box set containing 2
DVDs?

According to a post on HTF, Quentin wants 3 DVD releases. 2 normal special
editions of each film and a third, Lord of The Rings Extended Edition type
set with non repeating extras of the first two.
Meaning, he wants you to buy all 3.

I'm betting the hook on the super duper edition is the Blue Leaves fight in
color.

I'm sure that will happen eventually, but I can see why they wouldn't be
in any big hurry.

But then they couldn't release part 1 on dvd about the time part 2 hits
theaters. They'd then have to release part 2 on dvd, in addition to any
box set, so people who bought part 1 wouldn't have to buy it again
unless they wanted to.

By your rationale, we'd likely have to wait until July or August to get the
Matrix Reloaded on DVD, because we'd have to wait until it was time for the
Matrix Revolutions to come out on DVD as well.
Sorry, I think most of us would rather not wait for Reloaded, nor will we
wish to wait for Kill Bill: Volume 1.
I think the same can be said for the Lord of the Rings films - we'd prefer
to get each installment on it's own rather than wait years for all three to
come out.

Meanwhile, Sling Blade and Trainspotting can't even get lousy
anamorphic releases. Get your heads out of your asses, Miramax!

If they did get a lousy anamorphic release, you'd be bitching that
Miramax should have done a good one.

If you know anything about good old Harvy and his days as a concert
promoter in Buffalo, you'd have good reason
