Extras

[zak_swan]

I've just rented Million Dollar Baby and it has no extras, how come?
The only other one i can remember in recent years that had no extras was Mystic River.
Is it something to do with them winning Oscars?
Personaly i don't give a hoot about extras, i never watch them but i'm just curious.

Clint Eastwood is the link, i take it he just dont like extras.

I was disappointed with That 70s Show first season dvd. TV show dvds are SUPPOSED to have extras. None whatsoever. Just the episodes. Just english track. No commentaries, not even captions.

A lot of bigger movies have a rental release sans extras, then a full blown release with the works. Expect MDB to have a future 2 disk special edition release.

Clint isn't anti-extras, as his Dirty Harry releases show. Each of them has retrospective docus with his full involvement.

Both Mystic River and Unforgiven also have full-featured double-disk releases.

Blame the studios for the ongoing need to release the same material over and over again in different formats.

Note LOTR

Intitial release 2 disk theatrical
Follow up release 4 disk special edition extended version
Follow up 5 disk special extended edition with figurine and extra disk
Follow up 6 disk box set (re-release of theatrical versions as single set)
Follow up 12 disk boxset (re-release of special extended editions as single set)

Just wait for the super special HD extended editions . . . . . .

Just another way of making more money.

Clint seems to be like Spielberg in that he will happily participate in documentaries for the extras, but won't do a commentary. Disappointing, but better than nothing.
