Just one more way for Warner to rape true fans of the movie for more money...

How is it rape? This version was announced from the beginning. You could've waited and only bought this one.

jamesdevil · 10-04-2009, 10:34 PM

It also has 'The Complete Motion Comics' and 'Under the Hood' (which was on the original Tales of the Black Freighter)

Owen Lol · 10-04-2009, 10:48 PM

I don't think I'm gonna be double dipping on this one.

newguy7 · 10-05-2009, 12:28 AM

More, lots more, blue penis.

They call it "Watchmen: Blue Penis Edition"

No, especially for the price they're asking for the UC.

peanutlover · 10-05-2009, 01:40 AM

How is it not raping? Both "Tales" and "Complete Motion" were available about a month before the theatrical bow of Watchmen. You're going to tell me these couldn't have been included in the first Blu-ray release a couple months ago? Come on.

The weren't included on the director's cut either. You're probably complaining because you have no patience and just couldn't wait for this edition, which — again — was announced when the theatrical cut AND the director's cut were announced. Next time, maybe patience will be a virtue.

peanutlover · 10-05-2009, 02:07 AM

No. I have plenty of patience. I just didn't hear about this until recently. You mean to tell me you don't think it's kind of ridiculous they released all three of these films separately and expect people to but them and then release them all together later on?

Your fault then to not make an informed initial purchase.

You didn't hear about it until recently, yet you're a "true fan"? No one is making you re-buy it.

peanutlover · 10-05-2009, 02:28 AM

Wait a minute. I never claimed to be a "true fan". I enjoyed the movie and purchased it. I am not re-buying it either. My complaint is just the way the studios release these things. There is no reason why these could not have been included in the initial release of the Blu-ray.

Maybe not to you but for the studio looking to make money and appeal to 'collectors' it makes total sense.

peanutlover · 10-05-2009, 02:33 AM

But don't you think some collectors are going to feel burned that will want the long cut that just maybe didn't know about the final cut? What about movies like 300 that were released how long ago and re-released in a deluxe edition so much later? I guess we are just going to disagree.

Being a collector implies they would double, triple or quadruple dip anyways so that is moot. You have more of a point about 300 but the difference with Watchmen is that both versions were announced at the same time so no one should feel 'burned' if they did their due diligence.

peanutlover · 10-05-2009, 02:42 AM

OK but you are still missing my point. I didn't know about the final cut. Excuse me for not knowing about it. My point is the studios do this ALL the time. Disney is already making plans to re-release Blu-rays of Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty as part of their "Diamond" line. Come on! Where does it end? The studios have a long standing practice of releasing longer, director's cut, deluxe editions, etc. all the time. Usually it is a year or more down the line. And for collectors, many of them will re-buy them. If they would just end this practice and take their time putting the releases together maybe we wouldn't feel the need to rebuy.

zahinn · 10-05-2009, 02:53 AM

I will be picking it up since i don't have the motion comics or the Black Freighter.

But once again your saying you don't double dip and the studios aren't forcing you to so why are you complaining? Also the collector's don't care how much a studio re-releases something they are still going to buy it. In my case I will wait for Paramount to get the rights to release it in a few months and then just buy it in my country instead of importing again.
