    But will they have the deleted prologue with Jamie Lee Curtis as Buckaroo's mom? And Old Biff fading out of existence in 2015? And Tron's love scene? And the original Ewok song? And the giant octopus in the cave with the pirate ship? And the old dodgy special effects where you can see the mattes shifting aroudn the flying tie fighters? And the bit where Servo and Crow save Mike's life? And the grown-up Wesley Crusher scene?

    No human could survive the beating he takes.

    Obviously you don't get out to the movies much. Action picture movie stars are really really tough!

    This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.

    Keep in mind that that only includes DVDs. HD-DVD will, of course, be available in the future. You can purchase your entire movie library all over again, just like going from LPs to CDs.

    Not only that. First you'll be able to buy the HD-DVD version of the Director's Cut-Cut (i.e. the new one).
    Then the HD-DVD Director's Cut, then the HD-DVD Original Theatrical Release,
    then the HD-DVD Premium Edition containing the Director's Cut-Cut and the Director's Cut,
    then the HD-DVD Anniversary Edition containing the Theatrical Release and the Director's Cut-Cut,
    then the Ultimate Edition with all three in a digitally reremastered HD version.
    Then you'll get the same for Blu-Ray plus a new BD exclusive Ultimegadition with all three plus a new Director's Theatrical-Re-Re-Cut
    Rinse and repeat (in 4032x2048x1280 3D-MoreDefinitionThanHDEverHad - 3DMDTHDEH) for Blu-HD-RayVD the 5TB successor to BD and HDDVD, coming 2014

    When the last book came out, a friend of mine swore that he was going to stagger around the Barnes & Noble for the midnight release crying and yelling, "Why?!? Why did you have to take Hermione!?!"

    He's kind of evil that way.
