I predict a new anniversary edition in 5 years time (or earlier) with the newly found deleted scenes plus 'It’s a Strange World – The Filming of Blue Velvet'.

Haha every time I read one of your posts it ends up being a sarcastic reply.

I generally like mfunk, but he does seem to be on a bit of a negative tangent lately

I promise that it's just a coincidence! I'll try to reduce my overall sarcasm percentage.

Cold Bishop, in the Criterion and Paramount thread, wrote:Paramount owns none of those. MGM owns a few, but unless Criterion can get a shot at an Optimum style boxset, I'd doubt they'd touch them.

And Hickey and Boggs is floating around in a very watchable TV Rip, sourced from the MGM-HD broadcast. A big favorite of mine. It was also available once on iTunes, might still be.
I never managed to track down that TV Rip, but MGM has released it through their MOD program.

Just a heads up, Best Buy currently has the Straw Dogs Blu-ray on sale for $10 and it is one of the Blu-rays eligible for their Upgrade and Save trade-in program (trade-in any used DVD and get $5 off select Blu-rays), making it $5.

But don't trade in the Criterion DVD, because the Blu is featureless!

Obviously. Do like me and trade in old MGM DVDs of titles that have been released on Blu-ray by Criterion.

And then kick a pebble down the parking lot when the Best Buy employees tell you that they don't stock that Criterion title.

No, the DVD you trade-in doesn't have to be the same title you buy on Blu-ray. Any commercially produced DVD (except porn) can be traded in for $5 off any of the 140 titles on the list I linked to.
