Your totally right, but in most cases I saw people who totally didn't get it. Like one dude I know saw the trailer and said something along the lines of "I don't want to see that, looks like old sh*t" and my favourite quote "Looks like a scary movie" on the bases of it being black and white. Go wonder 🙄
I wanted that Book, Beacause I Wanted to know where the movie came from.
Often i would read the book BEFORE watching the movie, beacsue i want to know what it was based on, what they edited / made different.
Like Jurassic Park, that pissed me off after finishing the book. (Dispite the fact that JP was my favorit movie from when iw as 4 - 8)
For Example Lex is Younger Then Tim and Grant Loves Children.
The new DVD of Sin City is great for fans of the comic, like me, and comic readers alike. The recut/extended versions offer all 4 stories to be watched separatley like Frank Miller envisioned, instead all 4 storied being intertwined together a la Pulp Fiction. The special features are good, but nothing special. The features they could have flushed down the crapper are Robert Rodriguez teaching us how to make "Sin City Tacos", and Bruce Willis on stage trying his hardest to sing the blues. Like HE, of all people, has anything to be blue about in the first place. I, personally, like that the DVD to comes with both the theatrical and the recut/extended versions, and that the special features are worth watching. Although I already own all of the original Dark Horse issues of Sin City, I think that the included TPB of "The Hard Goodbye" will give people a good look at Miller's vision, and a chance to read a damn fine comic. I still think that $30+ is a little too much, though.

Well I got it for like $24.99 (USD) is that pricey for you? That's probably the most expensive DVD I'll own considering I get all my DVDs for basically under $20. I couldn't (nor would I) stand to have the next-to-nothing version and I think this was a worthy purchase.
What a gorgeous DVD! I love how this extended edition. The comic book is a great bonus and worth smacking a few extra dollars for it. I also like what Rodriguez did to disc 2. All the stories can be watch in the order you like. This DVD is just a good as the Cannibal Holocaust 25th anniversary edition. Pure kick ass!
