Do you buy movies when they first come out on DVD

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Seeing the Daredevil: DC thread made me ponder this question. Or do you guys buy both? Frankly, I'd rather get it when it first comes out rather than wait longer, but then you get the re-release of the better DVD in the following year or so which I find annoying as sometimes the special edition contains things that made me regret getting the original DVD in the first place.

Wasn't DD a 2 DVD set to begin with? When they start with 2 off the bat it's USUALLY a safe bet to assume they're done with that one. Yu can never tell with DVDs. Sometimes they do SE aditions, but sometimes they don't. There's no way to tell what's they're going to go SE with.

It depends on the movie. If I really enjoyed the movie and want to watch it right away I will buy the movie the day it comes out. Of course that does not happen very often, the last non-wrestling dvds I purchased were Kingpin and The Natural some 6 months ago.

It depends. I'm less likely to buy a "bare bones" DVD when it's likely that a special edition will come out later, as was the case with Rounders and Swingers (two movies that should be in every guy's collection, IMO).

 

With Goodfellas, I didn't want to buy a flipper, so like everyone else I patiently waited for the SE disc that's out now.

Problem is how can you figure out which movies will become SE's? If I like the movie enough I'll double dip...

[Guest El Satanico]

If it's at least a semi popular movie(cult or mainstream) and the DVD is bare bones or light on extras, you can pretty much guarantee a SE will be coming.

 

 

Sometimes the SE is slow in coming, as in Batman '89 and Goodfellas.

Is Batman '89 SE already out, or is it coming out soon?...

I still haven't bought LOTR:ROTK because I'm waiting on the Extended Edition.

[Guest Sturgis]

What about Major League? Cause 2004 marks the 15 year anniversary of the first one and the 10 year anniversary of the second one.

It's pretty rare that I'll sit around waiting for a SE of a DVD. Bare bones doesn't bother me most of the time because I just don't watch many of the extra features. For instance, I think I've listened to two commentaries out of all the DVD's I have. Deleted scenes are pretty cool, but their inclusion will not affect whether I buy a particular DVD or not.

 

If it's a movie I really want, I generally just go get it.

Summer 2005 to coincide with the release of Batman Begins. I believe Returns will also be released at the same time.

 

 

After recently watching Batman '89 again, I have no plans to buy it. It's not nearly as good as I remembered it being and Jack's performance is really the only reason worth watching it for.

Batman '89 also had the world's greatest soundtrack and score combo.

Even though it's more flawed than I always remembered it being all the times I saw it as a kid, I'd still be all over the Batman '89 SE. I've simply seen it too many times to have a real beef with it.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

The funny thing about that Batman movie is that every time I watch it I lose interest about halfway through and shut it off.

 

I still like Jack as the Joker, though...

[Guest wildpegasus]

I've never bought a DVD movie when it first comes available because there aren't too many movies that appeal enough to me to do that but maybe that's because of all the wrestling tapes I buy and the fact I need to not spend too foolishly.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

I try to contain myself, most notably with the Dawn of The Dead DVD, which was released with a commentary and not much else. But I'm a movie nerd, so commentaries are a big selling point for me, so I got it anways. Now I'm looking at trying to find money for a 3 disc set in the coming months. Curse you DVD industry.

It's 4 discs and is coming out next week not in a few months.

4 disc, actually

 

If we're counting copied DVD's, and getting them as gifts count, then after X-mas I will have double dipped on:

Dawn of the Dead

Clerks

Raging Bull

Goodfellas (that comes out before December, or is already out, right?)

[MrRant 0]

I'll be all over 89 Batman as well. Muscle suit HO~!
