: I think people are getting too hung up on "special features" nowadays. It used to be that you bought movies because you LIKED the movies, not because of the "special features".
Now see the beautiful thing about Kevin's DVDs is the incredible movies, combined with loads of extra footage/commentary all of which is classic stuff. It's sad that so much has to be cut to get a movie to sell, hell I look for movies that are long because I want to get as much as I can for my money. For example, when I heard that the runtime of LotR was 3+ hrs, I was extatic, I went around for like 2 days just saying "3:15 run time!!!!" (slight exageration) but anyway, I love seeing that kind of stuff, realizing that a great director like Kev wouldn't cut anything too important, it's still just so much more satisfying to see the whole thing. the rest of the special features for the most part can go to hell, xcept maybe the color bars on Amy :)
