We have! And Repo Man's in the OP! Thanks Ned.
Ha, thanks. Yeah, it's a no-brainer, this.

After Repo Chick, im not too sure any revisiting of the Repo Man brand needs to happen ever again.

I really really want this re-release tho!
I have the 2003 Universal DVD, but am strongly considering buying this new version (but the 2DVD set, not the Blu-Ray, as I don't own a Blu-Ray player).

I think the addition of the tv cut alone is worth the repurchase.

Just pre-ordered it from Amazon for $20.

For once the US Blu-ray packaging is better the the UK's.

lol @ generic packaging, otm
in the commentary Cox said that the only 2 sponsors for the movie were Ralph's supermarkets for the generic food/bevs, and the airfresheners, which is why they're everywhere in the movie :D

Generic "DVD" packaging on matte stock with that mohawked skull + title + Criterion logo in high-gloss spot varnish would have worked.

or outer paper sleeve with generic DVD packaging / mohawk skull slides out, is actual cover
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 22:02 (eleven years ago) link
looks great. want. generic packaging would have been fun, but a little too dull for such an antic film. agree with random commenter that generic "disc" is a nice compromise.

Watching it now. The print is fucking pristine. Totally worth it.

Haven't watched the main feature yet, but have been through most of the extras. One thing I've taken away (and I don't know how I slept on this the first 20-30 times I've seen the movie) is that Olivia Barash (Leila from The United Fruitcake Outlet)was quite the little fox back then.

blu-ray is in my hot little hands as well; waiting to watch it though till I have a suitably sizable group to watch it with. First ever blu ray purchase too.

I feel like I should buy the Bluray, too, just in case I one day have a player.

bought a copy of this today on a whim, and because it was on sale for cheap. a cheap whim. it's beautiful. incredibly well designed on every level. such a great idea to style it in the manner of punk show flyers, photocopied fanzines and underground comics. makes it feel like a tribute to a cultural moment as much as, you know, dvd packaging.

was so happy when this slotted alphabetically right next to the the rules of the game criterion

I kinda loved Repo Chick. I mean, it's terrible on many levels, and in no way gets out of the original's shadow, but after you get past what it isn't, the film is an enjoyable romp. I got swept away and also liked the way Cox paid tribute to outmoded special f/x processes like miniatures/models and back-projections by utilizing them via modern yet still lo-fi techniques (digital green screen compositing). The movie is on the better end of the contemporary "midnight movie" school.
It also helps that I got my copy for $1.50. It's worth that much.

Like in '84, it looks great (Robby Muller) and is at its best when Stanton or Tracey Walter is monologuing, but not really much of a movie. Good soundtrack tho.
