Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Theatrical releases are work in progress: Wait for the DVD

This is the prime reason I copy DVDs instead of buying them. As people mentioned above, release the DVD and put all the extras you'll ever put on it and charge a simple $25-30. I'll buy it. But don't jerk me around, expect me to buy Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions when you're just gonna turn around a year later and release a box set with additional footage without giving me the option of purchasing a SEPARATE disc (or renting) so I can view that extra footage once or twice.

I probably won't buy the Star Wars DVD trilogy for the fact that Lucas, for some reason, thinks it's okay to release those Special Editions instead of the original films. I think that if people purchase it, it gives him (and other directors) the impression that it's okay to do that type of stuff. Once a movie is done, it's done. Leave it be.

Same with E.T. I want the ORIGINAL, not the re-edited version that is more politically correct.
