1.88:1????? It was shot and shown in theaters and previously released on DVD in 2.40:1, what's going on here?
Amary case?!!! F**K FOX!!!!
I knew it. I already have it but Ill get it when it goes down on sale.
It's amazing how companies are willing to exploit the story of Jesus' cruxifiction for money. One of the many reasons that I do not believe in religion.

hey, believe what you like- but how would a company double dipping on a movie about a story from a religion make you not believe in the religion? what does that have to do with the story of jesus?

WOW! I'm definitely buying this! I'm pre-ordering it now! I'm also a bit surprised about the aspect ration though. 1.88:1? What kind of AR is that? Never seen a film with this AR before. Hmmm....
It seems like we had some warning that a better version would be forthcoming. When I picked it up, I actually expected a better version to be released just before last Easter.
Now with more beating!!
wow to think just yesterday there was a discussion about movies that needed a special edition. amazing timing
need to get this since I don't own the regular DVD. plus John Debney's commentary is nice to hear

That has got to be one of thw dumbest things I have ever heard.
I guess the "collection basket" is a totally foreign and alien concept for you, isn't it? You're thinking, "What does God need with money?" right?
But to address your statement directly, you're saying that you don't believe in religion because (in essence) people can make money off of it. Hmmm...if there's one thing in life you should learn is that someone, somewhere, will ALWAYS find a way to make money off of anything. How that would cause you to not support or believe in whatever that thing is, is very ridiculous.
It'd be like saying, I don't like how Detroit makes money off of auto sales....therefore, I shall never learn how to drive because I don't wanna support such evil. Sounds stupid, don't it? That's what your statement about this double-dip on Passion sounds like.

Well it is true, they make money off of it but not so much off of the story in THIS case. I will bet anything that they are making this to make up for the money that Apocalypto will not make.
So...this is either a great film or the religion its based on is bad seems to be the general consensus. What about those of us who just thought it wasn't a very good movie and think that fact doesn't reflect upon Christianity? Or is this just going to turn into a pissing contest?
What's wrong with Amaray cases?
I wish this had Kevin Smith's purported Joel Siegel quote on the cover: "Mel Gibson nails it!"

I'll pass on this...this movie bored me to sleep, and the violence is just filmed to a ludicrous degree. The DTS is nice...but the cover isn't the greatest I'd say, not a fan of the blue.
It appears that no one has discussed the artwork yet, so I'll begin.
AWFUL.
AWFUL.

Yup, I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with you on that one. It appears they just adjusted the hue of a c**ppy screen capture. Lame as lame can be.

I guess they are releasing at the same time as the sequel?
A theologian commentary with Mel Gibson? Oh, saints be praised. I always wanted to hear of complex matters of faith and messianic symbols from Braveheart.

Winner: Post of the week.

Cover design aside, I will be picking this one up for sure. Back when the first one came out Gibson said there would be a 2-disk version in the future, so I did not pick it up.
This movie was like Hostel with Jesus. Though I like Jesus more than any annoying frat boys, so go Passion.
Frickin' John Debney has a commentary! I hate him so much. He does so much c**p work it's unbelievable. The Passion was nothing but rip-offs of Hans Zimmer. That douche got an Academy Award nomination and it really pissed me off. The structure and instruments used in this film are identical to Black Hawk Down minus Zimmer's synth work.

Yeah, all thee less than the Almighty Zimmer are not worth three pense.

The way I understand it, this "definitive edition" has been greatly purged from much of the most gross and violent images to make it more pallatable to audiences. That's sad to me because, as a non-beliver myself, the major merit of this film –if any– is that it served to exemplify the christian paradigm of "virtue through suffering". Again, I do not share that notion at all, but it is essential to christianity and the movie approved and show calvary in all its glorious detail.
If you take that away, I really can see no value to this film.
Maybe Gibson will go the way of Lucas and have Jesus Christ shot first or whatever. ;-D

I thought the entire film was a stylistic rip-off of Gladiator, only with more slow motion. And more gore. Gore gore gore. I think Zimmer rips himself off enough these days, we don't need more of it.
People come on, when the standard DVD was released Mel Gibson said that a elaborate Special Edition was in the works. I knew this was going for a long time, I'm surprised how many people didnt know. I own the standard DVD and I'm thinking of picking this up just to have both versions available for reference as well as to see what the makers of the film have to say about it in the bonus material.

That's not what I got out of it at all. What he is saying, as I understand, is that these companies prey on religious people, like yourself, because they know you will blindly go and buy it again. Religious zelots will do anything to support the their "story", like double dipping on relgiuos propaganda dvds, or electing GW Bush because he pretended to be religious. You're like lemmings in that regard. You know, there is a reason congregations are referred to as sheep. But these companies will profit off any fanatacism, look at the World Trade Center double dip due out. And your Detroit analogy is very flawed, you can alway get a Japanese car. Besides, Detroit is a hell hole.

Does Gibson do the commentry before or after the bottle of scotch? (someone had to say it 
)

They should have called it "The Jesus is my homeboy edition"

Well, I like the movie that much to go ahead and buy it again, but probably when the price goes down.
