: I'll have to use that in future...
You do and I'll sue you!
: ... that said, I'm sure many, many years from now when many except the fans have ceased to care, they'll release another version.
I could see them doing a bare bones one disc, but since Anderson gave so much stuff to Criterion, wouldn't it be a product nobody would want? I mean, anybody who wants the movie can get this disc pretty cheap (for now, at least), and anybody who doesn't want it isn't going to want it more when Criterion retains the copyrights to everything and doesn't allow it on the disc.
Dammit, I'd hate it if they suddenly busted out an uber-version. Mostly 'cause I'd probably have to buy it.
: Me? I'm still waiting for my special edition of "The Killer".
I personally can't believe that they haven't done it yet. Is there some kind of legal hold-up because of the old version?
PS: Wanted to make sure you saw my message on ANP that I did, indeed, receive "The Fifth Element". Thanks again.
