I could SWEAR I read about a new two-disc edition MONTHS ago; shortly after the first one came out.

awwww I love this movie. but I already own the standard dvd so I'm set.
I'll get it sometime, great film, shame about the original dvd
I'll have to wait and see what kind of extras we're talking about before I upgrade. I really like the artwork of the original release, I hope it stays the same.

Looks like Universal can't quit Brokeback.
I haven't seen this and I probably won't (seems to be, like Transamerica, hyping the gay thing while the story itself is tired and cliched), but I kind of wondered about this since the old disc doesn't have a commentary and you'd think that Ang Lee would have wanted to do one. Perhaps Jake Gyllenhaal will be on it too, since he was on the Donnie Darko commentary.

So 2 gay movies come out in a year where 100's of "STRAIGHT" movies come out every year and you say they are "HYPING" the gay thing?
WHATEVER dude? Grow up!

Brokeback Mountain was my favorite movie of 2005, and I have been waiting for a special edition to be released in order to finally own it on DVD, so this is great news. It certainly took a while! Here's hoping for a commentary track or 2.
It actually is a very beautiful movie Tyler. If you can get past your own insecurities, you'd enjoy it as well I'm sure.

That's not what he's saying at all. He's saying the movie got loads of unwarranted attention because it was about two gay men, not a man and awoman. The movie is beautifully shot yes, but its dreadfully boring, IMO. It would have been boring if it were a man and a woman, it was only so "great" and "revolutionary" because it was two gay men.
I'm also tired of people who didn't like this movie getting hammed on because of their "insecurities". Just because someone doesn't like a movie about gay people doesn't mean they can't appreciate film or wouldn't like another with a gay influenced storyline (I myslef liked "Transamerica"
, but again, thought this was boring, drawn out and maybe a tabe cliche.

I knew Universal was going to double-dip on this one... I knew it, I knew it. But a drama like this doesn't necessitate a DTS track. (Universal is just being inconsistent with their DTS offerings on DVD nowadays.)
In any case, it'll make the price of the current edition go down, so that's a good thing. I'll have to check this film out... heard good things about it.

I bought the original release (got a copy of the script which is still sitting on my desk)...still have yet to watch it. I am curious to see how good this is. Personally, I thought Crash was the best picture last year, even though I haden't seen this one. I'll probably pick this up.
I AM SHOCKED!!! I never dreamed that when they released a bare-bones edition of the Most-Talked-About-Movie-Of-2005, that they would later release a special edition. There's NO PRECEDENT.
Other than Saw. And Saw II. And Man On Fire. And The Day After Tomorrow, I Robot, Anything LOTR, King Kong, Dodgeball, Garfield, Underworld, Scary Movie 3, Chicago, Mr and Mrs Smith, Big Fish, XMen, and Sin City.

It's a great film and all, but the regular edition out now has features, so forget it.
Yes, I mean the DTS soundtrack doesn't really make it worth buying again. And personally, though I loved the movie and bought the one-disc release, I'm not really interested in very in-depth making of stuff when it comes to Brokeback Mountain. What more could one want to know, that's not already in the first DVD's featurettes? As for the "hilghly collectible" cards, come on. (And how can something be "highly" collectible anyway?).

that is kinda ture, but the film is very well made. you should see it for ang lee's fantastic direction at the very least. there is no harm in seeing a film once. yes, its a very hyped film, but it is also a very good one. I say see it just to see it.

No surprise, at least this excellent tearjerker about bisexual sheperds has a decent DVD.
Cool... More bang for your buck.
goddamit will someone please be an immature jerk and make a gay cowboy joke
Gee I wonder if Focus will handle this double sip as well as they handles the recent "Special Edition" of 21 grams!!!

I agree. Brokeback felt like a standard cheap romance novel, you can buy for $5 a book. It was not really intense, original drama with the 2 characters, gay or not gay, doesn't matter. It looked beautiful, but as good directors (and yes, Ang Lee is one of them, but not here) know, story is everything. To me, this story was not very interesting or had much of a dramatic curve. I just couldn't feel dramatic tension. The whole movie I'd been waiting for it to happen, but it didn't. It didn't feel the connection. Maybe a bad example or not, but with The Shawshank Redemption, I cry every time. I feel the deep connection those 2 men have. Not a gay relationship, true. But the friendship you know, I really felt that. Just to illuminate how I experienced it.

Why doesn't focus release a 2-disc set of Pride & Prejudice, I liked it more than Brokeback mountain, I'm not sayin it is a bad film.

I think they will, it's just a matter of time. It's just that while "Pride & Prejudice" did fairly well at the box office, it wasn't as talked about and didn't get as much publicity as BM did. BBC double-dipped on the 1995 miniseries, so I don't think Universal will be content with just one release of P&P.

I love this film, and I will double-dip for sure. It's great to hear about a DTS track being there, the acoustics from the score and all will sound splendid in any home theater system. The postcards are a nice touch and all, but I want to know what the extras are being that this was so controversial.
horribly overrated film. worth one view (if that) and that's it. good cinematography, but other than that, wtf is the big deal about this movie?! the controversy is soooo unwarranted. I gave it a 6/10.

The thing is, is that this movie isn't some old tired story just hyped because of two gay men, it's a very original story that has something to say about all relationships and something that hasn't been talked about before.
