I agree, fantastic movie. Not really feeling that artwork though.
I did not enjoy the extended version. Are these features repeats from the DVD?
Yes, same as the special edition DVD that featured the extended cut.
Will there be a special 'stereoid' edition...?
Interesting how many other sites have this listed as the Director's Cut. Amazon even features cover art that has a Director's Cut banner. Personally, I preferred the theatrical cut of the film, but having both on the disc via seamless branching would be the way to go with this. Let's hope that's the case.
