Sweet! Will likely pick this up despite it being the Weinstein cut (about 23 minutes shorter than the original cut, and 15 minutes shorter than the second cut), though Wong Kar-wai himself said it's not a lesser cut at all (despite some critics saying it is). It's still one of the best films this year.

I didn't think it was in 3D? It might've been in Asian markets but certainly not in the US as far as I'm aware of.

I think I was confusing myself with something else.

Haha fair enough! It looks pretty glorious in 2D anyway, doesn't need 'enhancing' with 3D

Blimey, Metrodome actually releasing a foreign movie on BD and not consigning it to supermarket DVD bins.

Their first since A Royal Affair I think - Jackpot, Dragon and Sleep Tight were Sainsbury's exclusives at first but I think you can get them elsewhere now. So to be fair to them they're just adjusting to the market when they're acquiring more interesting titles.

They released Godfrey Reggio's Visitors on blu-ray which I was surprised about...clearly on the back of Arrow's success with the popular Fricke titles and Reggio's restorated Koyaanisqatsi/Powaqqatsi package. It's not as good as said titles but I'm still glad it's on blu-ray and, as you said, not just in supermarket bargain bins on DVD.
