Have any of you guys watched the Dreamhunt deleted scene?

Wow, even in unfinished CG, it looks Amazing! Totally trippy

FilmBufffff · 11-17-2010, 05:59 PM

Does anyone else's slipcover have a sticker on the back that lists the special features? I'm almost tempted to just throw the slip away as it looks kind of cheap with the huge sticker as opposed to having that info printed right on the slip.

Don't stress over the little things.

All copies ship like that. The slip is gorgeous, especially with the holograms.

It cost about double what you guys in the US are paying for your edition. The place where I got it from doesn't deliver abroad, but I'm sure there are Swedish/Danish/Norwegian online stores that do.

Yeah, I don't usually go for busts or the like either, but this just caught my eye, so I thought why not. It's just something to look at I guess; something to make your environs a little less dreary!

Yeah, I have to say I really dig the slip. It finally arrived this morning (the whole package) and it looks amazing. Special features are nice too. I wish the discs were housed a little differently, or that the set was more like the Alien Anthology, but it's not bad. Feels a little cheap; I can understand the relatively low price because the binding just doesn't feel that expensive.

But the content is what matters. The features are great!

It peels off easily and doesn't leave residue, and there's an image underneath. I think it was clearly designed so you can remove it.

rammsteinfan · 11-17-2010, 07:28 PM

I took off my stickers on the blu-ray as well. I like it much better without them.

technique · 11-17-2010, 07:35 PM

finally got this today and it's really a nice package can't wait to watch

You see that he is looking for something more than the life he has, something we can all identify with, and it makes his journey so much more satisfying.

What a piece of poor scripting.

I guess that's for movie fans. Why Blade Runner has 5 different cuts?

Bunker · 11-17-2010, 07:54 PM

I gave myself a paper cut opening the packaging.

Or cost 1 penny more. That's called consumerism in it's worse form.

Batman1980 · 11-17-2010, 08:56 PM

Changed my mind, going to do what I originally planned, keep the 3 discs in a DVD case and have the normal movie case with the rest of my movies. Was leaning towards the steelbook but didn't really want to import one without looking at it first.

Shame - I was looking forward to seeing what it looked like. Of course, you shouldn't be expected to send that kind of money just to get us a few photos

LOL I may still get it, the case this thing came in will probably keep rubbing me the wrong way until I break next year and decide to buy it.

28BlusLater · 11-17-2010, 09:01 PM

Still thinking about whether to get the US or UK edition.

The only thing holding me back from the US edition is the crappy cardboard holding the discs. I just feel like that isn't securing the discs at all. Why the hell would Fox do this? I much prefer just a normal Blu-Ray case inside of the slipcover they have.

Not sure which one to get...

It's not anywhere near as nice as the ALien Anthology set, just to warn you. If you have that set/saw that set and hated it, you will loathe this.

I only saw the Alien Anthology in pictures. I have the UK version to avoid the cardboard holding the discs. I might just get the UK version of this once the price drops just to avoid the cardboard holding the discs again.

I don't have the Alien set, still waiting for it not to be $100+, will probably get it when it goes on sale for $60-. It's nice enough to me but I'm probably one of the biggest Avatards around.
