It would be triple dipping for me.

Although.. I could always sell the 2 copies I already have and just buy this one.


Just kinda annoyed no one mentioned this earlier.

Also. Who is "Commentary with Edgar Wright & Guest"?

I would imagine no one mentioned this earlier because no one knew it was going to happen; sounds a lot like Universal backtracking after the WalMart debacle and finally getting it into their skulls that there is a real demand over here for the second disc.

Of course, w/ the extended Fuzzball Rally, it's a must-have. I'm going to be giving away some used copies of Hot Fuzz as stocking stuffers for Xmas, I see....

The new commentary is interesting, though. Hmmm... wonder who around here could shed any light on the matter....?

Do you know something?

Damn you. You're so reasonable and logical.

^ It's a filthy habit.




No, wasn't me I was talking about.

*cough*

I see...
*winks and taps side of nose*

I think.
*nose tapping somehow turns to head scratching*


Anyway - thought this might help

If coughing persists, see a doctor.

Ahem, that's exactly what happened. I wasn't crazy about releasing a single disc only in the U.S. and was even less crazy about the whole Wal Mart thing. I didn't even know about that until two weeks before release.

So now that a full version is being released, I'd like to make sure any double dippers are rewarded with some new bits and bobs. Which are so new, we haven't done them...yet.

No nefarious masterplan to fleece fans. Not from me anyhow.

But you didn't hear me say any of that.

This has been Howard Rice talking.

That Howard Rice. He's a real blabbermouth. Is he related to Del Griffin, do you reckon?

Thanks for the info 'Howard'.
It's good to know what's going on.
And we are all looking forward to the new stuff!

I suppose now is as good a time as any to admit I never bought a Region 1 Hot Fuzz.

I win Labor Day Weekend! *slides into home plate*





This just in: 3-disc Fuzz comes with a high-quality set of shower curtain rings.









(Thanks, Howie.)

We would never have accused you of fleecing for a moment, Mr Rice.

Well, this has made me very grateful that I was given my 2 Hot Fuzz DVDs (by 2 lovely & generous Spaced-Outers); otherwise I'd be very upset about having to double dip with money I don't have!

If this new version is coming out late November, I just may be able to swing it financially by then.

Goodness me, I've never owned 2 copies of any DVD or video in my life, let alone 3!!!

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

Thanks Edgar
Erm. I mean Howard.

Anyway- We trust that you wouldn't fleece us. You've already given us a lot of extras! Can't wait for the new stuff though. Very intrigued. No hints as to the guest commentary, per chance?

Me neither. I don't have any actually as I sold mine on Amazon after getting the Wal-Mart bonus disk. Guess I'll be waiting a bit more.

Well at least I know what to get myself as an early Christmas present this year


P.S. Regarding Fuzzball Rally.......I love Pirate Maths!

Cover art for the three-fer:




(Thanks to Julia!)

Wow, that's pimp. They're going all out with this.

Wooo.. I like the way they've redone the glasses.

Daddy I want it NOW

Oooh! I like it. It's going to make a nice early birthday/Christmas prezzie to myself. I'm pleased they've made a different cover than the other 2 I already have. I noticed they've cropped out Nick's over-sized pinky finger, though.

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

Wow, I totally didn't see that coming. Thanks for the clarification Howard-not-Edgar, it's awesome that it's happening and that you're seeing to it that it's done right. I've got my R2 but the 3-disc enchilada looks yummy.

It looks like they're holding hands.....

It is indeed



That sounded wrong in my head...

^ Sorry I should have put [Veruca/] after it.
Actually I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse


Anyway I have a bit of new information regarding the 3-disc release.
Straight from a certain Mr Joe Cornish to myself...

Oooh, sounds good!!

I think I'd prefer the car to the severed head, though

I'm undecided

Ooooh! Sounds fantastic. I wonder if Joe himself is the "mystery-guest commentator". Well done, AC, for getting that little snippet.

I can't decide between the police car or the severed head; both could be used in some fun pranks!

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

Thanks Sis.
I think I'll be happy with any mystery guest that they would choose.
Joe would definately be cool though.

I think it all depends on whose severed head it is.

Hang on...I'm kind of lost...is it just in america that you will be able to get....

Or can we get it over here as well?

It is a US release not UK.
So you'll probably have to order it online like me
(if you have a multi-region player)

That's stupid....
It's a British film
That's stupid...

hey at least the exchange rate is in your favor. we all died a little bit importing the UK edition

Well I'm in Australia and I have one UK copy and one US copy.
(I had another UK copy too but I gave it to a mate of mine yesterday - Also I fully intend to buy the 3-disc US version)

I don't really know why I mentioned all that, it has no point.



While I'm talking drivel - I actually mentioned "Pirate Maths" to someone at work today.
I'm sure she thought I was mad, but then she's mad anyway.
Plus I love Pirate Maths so it made me feel happy.



I'm sleep deprived.
And that's the case for the defense your honour

I got a fiver on Tarantino being the special guest. Come on!

Well, I'm glad I didn't betray my principles and spring for the Wal-Mart disc, then.

I suppose I could have been more patient, though.

However, it's important to shore up the opening-week figures, so at least someone is seeing some benefit from my earlier purchase.

ohhh yeah...good thinking...

Even though he annoyed me a little on Johnathan Roos the other night....

I can't stand the guy.

His directorial skills are fine, but, personally, I find him to be intensely grating. Especially when he tries to act.

Just seen the 2-disc version in HMV for £8 if anyone is interested.

....and Tesco.

Excellent scoop, thanks for sharing it with us! Hour-plus Rally with commentary? I'm in heaven.

Thanks Lynne

Yeah I can't wait!

So hey guys, this came out today...




It's a slipcover that opens into a Police Handbook



Open it up, and you're treated with some quotes and photo from the film





Very good packaging, the insides are the same as the usual DVDs. Currently watching the third disc.

Sorry for blurry quality, I did it in a rush.

Oooh. Veeery nice!

I suppose I really should get a copy of Hot Fuzz at some point . . .

Mine shipped on the weekend, or something, but hasn't arrived yet.

Me too.
And in spite of quoting me 11-16 days for delivery when I ordered it - they cheekily advised me after shipping it that it wont arrive until 26 December!

To my sorrow I couldn't pick up a copy on release day as I'm currently short of cash (starving student), but I'm vicariously excited nonetheless!

Ah well, in the meantime I'll go watch my Region 2 import again.

Aaahhhhhhhh ...the shiny goodness!... I want one.

They're not gonna do a 3 disc region 2 are they?

If they didn't release the 3 disk in the UK it'd be all wrong.

Region 1 gets all the good DVD releases, it irritates the hell out of me.
