Actual word on the PJ20 3-Disc Re-Release Via Cameron Crowe

Never one to stop picking away at this issue, today I asked Cameron Crowe on Twitter about this:
https://twitter.com/#!/LostTurntable/st ... 8720230400

For those who don't want to click the link, I asked if the 3-disc edition was ever going to get re-issued and he replied with:

"I heard word is coming soon..."

So hey, that's something. Maybe they can call it "sorry for making something limited that should have never been limited in the first place edition. Also, sorry for rudely ignoring everyone's questions about it...edition."

    Nice job for being an advocate! Hopefully we'll see it someday.
  • I kinda hope they don't. Then all the folks that took out a second mortgage to buy it won't go ape.

    Maybe they should release a 3 disc set with the third being blank and call it, 'you can't always get what you want' special edition?

    I mean, is this third disc really, REALLY great?

    I'm pretty sure if you wanted it and didn't want to 'pay' for it, there are ways of getting it.

    It.

    If someone can justify spending hundreds of dollars on a dvd set in the first place I don't feel sorry for them if its rereleased. It was overpriced to begin with.

  • Thanks for asking him the question! My fingers have been crossed for six months or so and I'm keeping them crossed! I will never buy this on eBay, so a rerelease is my only hope.

    They wouldn't release the limited edition version I shouldn't think. I bet they'd probably go bare bones with it - more cheaply packaged, maybe even put it on 2 discs instead of 3. I can't imagine it would be the actual same product as the one people already bought (but who knows). And yeah, I couldn't care less if people get mad about that... they were dumb to pay those inflated prices in the first place. I COULD have done the same, but I knew how stupid it was, and chose not to.

    The people petitioning for the re-release are fans who don't want to use illegal means to get it; they want to acquire it honestly through 10C (there was a conversation about this some time ago). :)

    Aside from awesome concert footage Disk 3 imo is the best one.

    Better than having to flip your laser disc.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    To be honest, I don't remember what was on disc 2 vs disc 3 but I remember having a much more emotional reaction to disc 2, so I think I much preferred it to disc 3.

    Maybe it's time to watch them all again? Help ease the mild depression I'm having from realizing I was supposed to be in Austin this weekend :cry: Or it might make it worse.

    Can anyone provide a brief summary of the fans disc and the other one (exteded cut version?).

    I would be totally fine with bare bones packaging that just had the three discs. I don't need all the extra shit anyway.

    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols
