"At some point no doubt they'll put the extended version out in the cinema"
Nope... that's not gonna happen... New Line hasn't liscenced it for theatres, and the show no desire to do so... Which is good, casue the theatrical release was more than long enough to sit in the average theatre seat...
"given in your usual superficially polite manner"
Who was trying to even be superficially polite?!?! Everybody I know who bought it got a coupon book... DVD or VHS... Maybe it was a Blockbuster thing?? No... I recall seeing the same packaging on them at Walmart... so maybe it's a Canadian thing? I donno... suffice to say... The information was out there that a special edition was coming out... if you didn't go looking for it, don't sound so surprised...
And well, it's not like we're talking about a LOT of money here... the innitial VHS was what 20 some bucks? This one on VHS is gonna be 60-80 unless ya go for the Limited Release Special Edition.. the one with the bookends and such... that's gonna run ya 90-110 bucks or so... Not exactly breaking the bank...
Like I said, I have access to free movie rentals, so I'll get it for free when it comes out... and I'll buy the HUGE after-the-movies-are-all-done set... Then I'll strap my butt to the sofa and watch it ALL in one sitting!!!
