Yeah the bastards don't know how lucky they got it. Although I almost never spend $30 because I normally find all the DVDs I wants for about $15 to $20. God bless JB HI-FI.
No, Because He Only Found Out That they where taken from His Garage when the sceane was shot, he says it. Here I'll get you a screenshot of him with subtitles.
[EDIT: ADDED]
Okay So No Subtitles for the Propes Of Sin City Section. But that still is what he says. Not necessairly Stolen, but He did not know about it.
Yes, of Course 😛
Havn't Watch the Extended yet, Wanted to lok at Disk 1's special features.
There is this cool commentary thing, where you navigate around Sin City to the various places chracters have been, its call "Sin-Cornonus-City" And yeah, you navigate to the key Places and tehre is MUCH further details about it.
Example, Lucile's Appartment (Marv's Dyke Lawyer) The Commentaires say that its not about the Appartment, They want That setting to be beautiful, yet threatning, and the entire visuals are about Lucile
PLUS I can take out my good old College text Book "The Art of Watching Film, 6th Edition" And find even more Tid- Bits! 😱
Wait A sec, Am i the First person NI the Forums To Get the DVDs? 😱 SWEET!
It's because movies like that aren't intended for wide audiences, but in this case, it somewhat backfired. I loved the movie, but was initially offered a barebones version which would have satisfied casual movie goers who wanted to own it. BUT, now there's the $30 version, with a bunch of shit I DON'T want, which is a comic and some other trinkets.
I want a 2 disc version of the movie, director's cut, with no freebies. Just the film I saw, because I don't read comics, and having bought the first release, like so many other people, I think it should have been priced lower to entice buyers, especially at Christmas time.
It's just bad marketing all around, IMO, particularly trying to sell this bundle for $30, after having offered a gimmick of 6 different covers of an obsolete version of the movie. That's just gross capitalism.

Hell, I want the book. Frank millers Graphic novel work is truly superb. If it's 30 bucks they want, I'll give it to them. PLus I get discounts from work. So I'll be the first to get one. God I love Uncut DVD's.
It's a great book, the only one I own. So you can imagine how annoyed I am that this set is only available with The Hard Goodbye, which means the price is about $10 higher.
If I didn't already own the book, buying this set wouldn't be too bad for me. The books run for about $12 on Amazon.com so you really pay about $18 for the DVD, which isn't bad for a SE.

...and how many times will anyone want to look at an accompanying graphic novel when they have the movie right there? It's just poor marketing, not giving people a choice. They'd sell more by offering the novel as a store exclusive or incentive as opposed to making the set $30 and saying "take it or leave it".
I'll just buck that system and get it for $8 at a pawn shop in a few weeks, more than likely.

You can read the book anywhere. You can't watch the DVD anywhere.
