    Mike. Let me tell you a little something about the world of DVDs. If you see a relatively bare bones edition of a movie that was popular and/or a critical success, then you can easily expect a more comprehensive version to follow a few short months later. It's what we like to call "milking the public for everything they've got."

    Not only is Columbia/Tri-Star releasing it as a SuperBit title, but they're doing it in a way that goes against what the namesake stands for. They've included a trailer with the release. What happened to devoting every available "bit" to the video and audio quality? Hmmmm.... Don't get me wrong. I'm all for high-quality, but give the lower-end consumers that can't tell (like Mike and myself) another option from the get-go. It's only fair, people.

    Hold out on buying this one. I sense a redo in it's future. An "adaptation" if you will.....ok...I'll stop now.
