View profile »In any event, the amazon site doesn't have much in the way of details. Does anyone know if this February release includes the Theatrical Release or if the T.R will be issued separately in Blu-Ray format? Thanks.

View profile »According to the previous "Amadeus" DVDTOWN News Story on the forthcoming Blu-ray (Feb 10), it will feature the Director's Cut only (+ bonus music CD). The DC includes 20 additional minutes and improved sound.
Many fans of the film (like myself) don't mind 20 more minutes of this classic...

View profile »I've noticed that a lot of "Directors Cuts" wind up the primary version given an upgrade. (For example, the 1990's Theatrical version of "Last of the Mohicans" never made it to DVD in the USA - only the "Director's Cut Expanded Edition".) I think the original version of "Das Boot" may have sunk beneath the wave of upgrades, too.) I wish more original versions would be released in state-of-the-art formats. Maybe the studios can't afford to issue too many versions of the same film, so they go with the one they think will make the most money? I tell you, if they put the Theatrical Release of Amadeus on Blu, I'll plunk down some cash - but not for the D.C.

View profile »Now, those Lord of the Rings "Extended editions" are a real chore to sit thru, if you are only a casual fan like myself. Each has about 50 to 60 extra minutes, and some of that extra stuff is just begging to be trimmed, which they did for the theatrical version.
But usually, a longer Director's Cut is more preferred by fans, especially if it involves more action (Pearl Harbor), violence (Natural Born Killers etc), or sex/nudity (Caligula etc).
Next week, a restored special edition of the 1980 horror film MY BLOODY VALENTINE is being released on DVD from Lionsgate, with never-before-seen violence that was forced out of the original Director's Cut back then to receive an R rating.
