@mr. hidef, Surprised at the comment as this is probably the way the movie was originally mixed.

Wondering if this a 25GB or 50GB as the Canadian release was 25GB

I'm def getting it! But don't know why they aren't using seamless branching on the two film versions? Of course I'll only watch the one that has the most nudity :-)

I hated this in the theaters but mostly because of the situation I was in.

It has been a few years now and I'm going to give this another chance.

I was with a group of kats who were just flat out too manly to sit together, so I ended up sitting by myself (which isn't normally bad...but I didn't come alone...soooo) and the idiots behind me kept kicking my chair and the chairs around me and the people in front of me kept talking.

Plus, afterwards, the two dullards I went with hated it and it just snowballed from there.

I have always maintained that if this movie was made around the time of the Crow, it probably would have been one of my all time favorites.

Thank you for the vent.

It'll be better in Blu.

Anyone else see the huge irony in Disney owning the rights to/releasing "Sin City" ?

Not that I'm complaining... just funny (Land of snow white, release yellow bastard!)

Yes, I'll pick up the blu-ray, loved the flick.

Meh...all I care about is the movie, and the Canadian release looks and sounds fantastic, so....pass.

I have the EE on DVD, and tried watching it last night to see if it could possibly stand up upconverted.

Oboy, does it ever not. This sounds like an excellent release, and I definitely need the standalone versions of the film, so -- ordering time!

Hmmmm, so the actual encoding seems to mirror the Canadian release,(AVC and DTS-HD-MA). I thought this would be the case, with the extra room on a BD-50 being used primarily for extras,(for the theatrical cut). No interest in the extras or the patchwork extended edition, so I'll stick with the Canadian release.
