My R4 has an audio descriptive track, it is hillarious.

Like HOH subs, except it's audio for the blind (like a radio play).

The audio descriptive track for Syriana has as many adjectives in it as a high school English short story and is narrated by a BBC announcer-esque emotionless British woman.

NOT AS FUNNY AS THE FILM, ITS REALLY THE TURD OF THE YEAR. It got on my nerves and I feel ashamed for Clooney, and the rest of the great cast in such an irratating film.

I know its odd, I just cringed every time he was on screen. I love the man, but I just didnt find any contact with him in the film, still the torture was the highlight of the film

I wish clooney would do more low key films again, like From Dusk Till Dawn, now thats da bomb

I was going to go for this but the R3 2 Disc SE is £6.99 at CD WOW and has about 33 minutes more extras (26 + 7). Which doesn't sound like a lot but when the disc barely gets anything in the first place.

They look to be R3 exclusives as everywhere else got the same 1 Disc.

What you mean like "A Conversation with Matt Damon"? That's all on the HD-DVD anyway, but I'd imagine that you're not missing much honestly - featurettes for political films tend to be garbage.

We're talking about the DVD. It also has a 26 minute featurette:

Sure not much more but it's something and £6.99 isn't much. If the £3.99 DVD was stacked then fine but when extras are so low even a bit more adds a lot (IMO).

It's all just MO of course, that is a great price.

Not really, considering that I picked up the R4 for like £3.

I watched the featurettes on the R4. They're EPK tosh, especially the "Conversation with George Clooney". So it's not really worth getting the R3 2-discer.
