So will there be 2 versions on blu? A Paramount and a Criterion?
Weird movie, but strangely beautiful. Will rent and if I like it better the second time around, I'll think about buying the 2 disk set.
a masterpiece no doubt, dunno why people especially the academy favoured Slamdog against this film, that was a bit harsh, still in my calculation the best movie of 2008 and maybe 09

I'm pretty sure thats a slip case, like they did with Life Aquatic and Royal Tenenbaums

I think the double dip will not be a Criterion edition if there is a double dip.
Maybe Criterion took out about 30 mins of this very long film....we can hope

You kidding? Its very classy. I hope the Blu edition looks the same way.
It's classy, yes, but at the same time, there's nothing original about it. I coudl've sworn I've seen that cover ten times before.

Oh absolutely! Especially since there are none of the many deleted scenes on either release I smell a director's cut in the future.
