Region 4 Winners and Losers

    This film is available in Region 1 in its original release (with pretty much identical features to the Region 4, but with a full-screen transfer as well as the wide-screen) and, released this month, a director's cut which restores 4 minutes of footage (apparently more gross-out humour, as if there wasn't already plenty). Reports have it that the original release offers a transfer that sounds no better than the Region 4. The new release offers a commentary from the director, writer, and D J Qualls and Eliza Dushku, but drops the full-screen transfer (it's wide-screen only). I think I have to make the award to the R1 director's cut on the basis of the commentary — I'd really like to hear that.
