I didn't bother as the Blu Ray copies aren't the Extended Versions (how sad am I?). I might very well buy the BR release at some stage but I'd want the full extended ones.

The picture quality on the DVD versions were really good I thought and looked great upscaled too. I'd be curious to see how much of an improvement the Blu-Ray version would offer both picture and soundwise.

I read the extended versions are been released in the run up to Christmas.

That would be absolutely typical of all the LOTRs releases.

Thats so S****E! I will be waiting for the extendo versions, and still waiting for aliens special edition to come out/

I watched a good film recently called Them.
Anyone see this film???

Three Colours Blue....




This is probably my favourite film of all time! I just find it so hauntingly atmospheric in all of its beautiful details and not least for the wonderful soundtrack and how it is woven into the texture of the film thereby lending to the atmosphere and drama.

I agree, Fergus, it's a wonderful meditation on loss and grieving and features a fantastic central performance from Binoche. The whole Three Colours trilogy of films was a magnificent achievment for Kieslowski.

One of my favourite films of all time,That and the Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith
