They're not gonna have it out by Halloween?

I don't know if you're aware of this but I've already changed things. I killed Ben Linus.

Does that apply to the rumored Phantasm Blu Ray collection set as well?

reply

Were Well Go USA able to secure the bonus features from previous releases or should I just hold onto my old Anchor Bay DVD for those?

Looks like you'll have to hold on to your AB DVDs

Yeah, hold on to the old dvds. If you have both better, since both of them have about one or two extra features in it the other dvd doesn't. Such as the MGM version having the music in it. 'Sitting here at midnight' and 'Phantasm theme disco version'. The blu ray doesn't contain anything new involving the movie, except the angus/don interview. the commentary is the exact same as the original which confused me because they had announced about a year ago they were recording a new commentary track for the movie at some event. they were doing it live with every cast member there except Reggie who missed his flight thanks to the weather. Graveyard Carz is the only thing else new on the disc. the tv episode on the cuda was in two parts. I think they just have the cuda scenes only.
