We're OFF!

Earlier this week? I lied.

Yeah, the American Gothic set is great. Indeed, I will have to get the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 3 soon. But that was not the winner of this week, ohhhh, nonononono.

I didn't even mention that I'd seen a two-disk re-re-release of The Wizard of Oz. Feh. I've got a good version with special features. Who needs it? Well, no one. I mean, it's got great special features, and a pristine new restoration, but if you've already got a version of the movie on DVD, you don't really need the two-disk set.

What I didn't know then was, there's also a three-disk special edition.

Oh my freakin' god.

It's at Amazon, it's on sale at Best Buy (possibly for only today), it might be at Target.

I'm not kidding. Besides the incredible restoration and the new surround mix (and the original audio track if you happen not to like the surround), besides the heaping gobs of new special features on Disk Two... Disk Three features no less than five earlier film version of Oz, including the cartoon from 1933 and the one with Oliver Hardy as the Tin Woodsman.

Get get get now now now go go go!

*grin* well, that's definitely shooting to the top of my wife's wishlist, I suspect! :}

These I need if only for the earlier film versions.

What, no Pink Floyd soundtrack option?

The US edition is £24 from PlayUSA.com....
it's listed as a 3 disc R2 on Play.com for £18 but is "Not currently available"

Woot? I heard from my mom (who saw it when she was a little girl) that there was more cut out of the version we see on TV... I've always been curious as to what was cut out... sadly, i have not the funds to get it just now. :(

If it comes to that, the deleted scenes are on the two-disk set. Go rent it. :)

I may, but would still like the whole set... just for the heck of it... mayhaps after the first of the year I'll have a little money again

American Gothic problems?

I'm hearing that there are some major problems with the 'American Gothic' discs -- skipping, freezing, jumping to the wrong chapters. Have you had any trouble with yours?
