LTB (hallelujah I love her so) surprised me by bringing this home Tuesday night, and since then, I've watched both the theatrical version with and without the director's commentary, as well as the extended version with all the deleted scenes restored, and all the little trivial stuff, like the trilers and stuff.
Big news for me is how much better an already fine movie is made by the restoration of the deleted scenes. Opinions may vary on this, but I found that it made the move a lot less "Hollywood-y" and really provided more quality dramatic depth. The director's commentary, although at times (not too many,, though) a tad geeky/fanboy in quality was good for at least one listen, as he freely cops to what scenes/elements are apocryphal (and why they were used anyway), as well as providing interesting (to me, anyway) commentary on, not just the film, but the cast and crew as well. Apparently, this was a low(er)-budget independent film, so imagination had to be used across the board. It was used quite well, imo.
Priced to sell at under $20 (if your son works at Fry's, it's under $17...). Do yourself a favor and check it out.
