so the new dvd comes out tommorrow (tuesday august 17)
its got 2 discs and supposedly a lot of behind the scenes material.
anyone else gonna be waiting in line at walmart tonight at midnight to pick it up?
... I would rather get "Finding Nemo" ... GF never struck me ... it is a good movie ... but something is just missing. I dunno. Nevermind. Have a nice day. Enjoy your flick.
i have the single disc release of goodfellas, but you have to flip it over in the middle. i never understood that.
casino is 3 hours and all on one side. makes no sense to me.
oh yeah, and Gangs Of New York is very poorly cut in half too.
i agree with that, what the hell was the point of that? the original release of seven on dvd (which i also have) is the same way... then they put out a 2disc special edition... and the movie is on one of the discs....wtf :?

Well it has to do how the dvd was copied... there are single layered disk and dual layered disk. For long movies on a single layered disk you have to flip the disk (known as the dreaded "flippers").
With dual layered disk, the copying is done so that you can have two times the information on just one side of the disk, you will notice this effect on playback as you get a slight pause in the movie as the dvd reader is switching to the other layer on the disk.
Even for recent releases you get the occasional flipper as with schlinder's list & gangs of new york, this is probably because the information that is stored on the disk (a la having 10 language tracks or better audio streams, etc..) is so much that it necessitate producing the dvd on two sides.
I haven't seen the Gangs of new york dvd, but I have heard about the problem at the cut. Didn't they cut it like midway in a scene? If so that is so retarded, you should at least find a spot to cut it off when a scene is finishing and start afresh on the other side with the following scene.
isnt this the DVD that is coming out as a part of the Scorsece (spelling?!?!) collection of DVDs... i was watching Ebert & that other guy's show last night and they were talking about it and how it has a lot of scorcece talking from his point of view about a lot of different parts in the movie... if i recall i think they said it was a five movie DVD set with huge amounts of director talk on Goodfellas... sounds like a classic dvd to get a hold of... cheers
I hope that they were able to fit the movie on one disc withthe second being just extras. The original dvd - you had to flip over! Not sure if dvd's can handle 146 minutes but i think so.
The djs took pills to stay awake and play for seven days......

Yep the Scorsese (those 3 s's always confuse people) collection includes the following:
After Hours/Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore/Goodfellas/Mean Streets/Who's That Knocking At My Door?
Glad to see Warner Brothers finally rolling this collection out (about time :wink: )
Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe Mean Streets was De Niro & Scorsese's first collaboration... what a fruitful collaboration churning out a total of at least 6 films I can think off of the top of my head.
