Brokeback Double Dip

.
That sounds like some sort of weird sex act, huh? Anyway, seems a Super Special Two-Disc Edition of everybody's favorite Jake-gets-it-in-the-pup-tent movie, Brokeback Mountain, is coming out on January 23rd. Why not in time for Christmas?

But wait! While Towleroad says of the edition, "The two-disc edition will feature never-before-seen footage as well as collectible postcards," the reviews on Amazon are much less enticing:

"Sadly the new edition has very little to offer. Being a 2-disc collector's set, so much was expected from this edition...But all its got is a new DTS track and just 2 new featurettes, including "A groundbreaking success" (which I'm sure, as the title suggests, is nothing more than the people involved, appreciating each other), Music from the mountains (obviously only about the music) and an art gallery of still images!! Other than these, all the features from the previous release will be available on the disc which barely run for 45 minutes."

---

"postcards? thats the best you can do? how pathetic.

a few more featurettes... eh.
stills gallery... eh.
postcards... big fat hairy deal.

where are the 40+ minutes of DELETED SCENES?
where are the COMMENTARIES?
where are the TRAILERS?
and wheres the complete 22-track original SCORE CD???"

That second fella's my kinda crazy. Seriously, though, I guess it doesn't really sound worth another purchase just yet. I want Criterion to get their hands on this thing. They do recent releases, too, don't they? I want the X-rated outtakes, for christ's sake!
