Will wait til its up on sainsburys for cheaper (assuming it doesnt become a zavvi exclusive) Thanks for the heads up

Ah, I was just about to post that.

I'm very happy with my digibook, it's not a zavvi exclusive and I already have 11 pre-orders up at the moment, so it's going to be a pass.

Weirdly enough, it's part of the 20th Century Fox steelbook wave despite being a Warner Bros. production (and released on BD with WB in the US). I know sometimes distribution rights change from one country to another, I just didn't expect one of the top 3 biggest distributors to get the UK rights of a film from the biggest or second biggest distributor in the world.

Someone posted in the main JFK thread that although Warner were the distributors rights reside with the producers Regency and in Europe at least they have moved to Fox.

is this the directors cut?? not interested otherwise

never seen this movie, but since I collected stopping steelbooks, I won't buy it anyone. Will buy the cheaper amaray instead

Looks nice! Hopefully AmazonUK will get this, so I will get it cheaper by not paying VAT.

It has an interesting design, but I can't say I really like it much. For one, the blue stripes going across the top seem pretty dumb considering the flag doesn't have that. It looks more like Greece's flag

. The spine is the only thing that looks good there.

I had to soak that in for a couple minutes

Pre-ordered!

X400 · 06-21-2013, 03:59 PM

nice artwork

BuckNaked2k · 06-21-2013, 05:27 PM

Anyone else prefer the theatrical cut?

I think that whole side story with John Larroquette slows down an already lengthy and dense film, without adding anything substantive.

I pre-ordered. This looks fantastic and I was holding out on the digibook for the SteelBook.

Mavrick · 06-22-2013, 01:00 PM

Hmmm, might order this if its the right price, £11.99 at Sainsburys for example, Zavvi asking £17+ for another catalog title? LOL.
