Well, this obviously goes back to the whole debate on whether or not extras are such a good thing a while back...
I can fully understand the viewpoint of people wary of buying a disc because there's the threat of a special edition three months down the road. And certainly buying a movie-only New Line or Universal or Disney disc is a gamble. But with Paramount's track record, and with the fact that it has what I've read to be good picture and sound, AND has a commentary ... well, I don't know what more you want. As was stated, New Line usually has static menus, and their discs rock.
Maybe there aren't any behind-the-scenes documentaries. Maybe there aren't any deleted scenes. Maybe, since this film started at Warner and ended up at Paramount, there were some legality issues. But who the hell cares? Are you going to base your decision to buy a disc that you WANT and that is GOOD on the sole fact that it doesn't have a crappy half-hour "documentary" that you'll watch once (or MAYBE twice)?
Again, I can understand the desire for extras, and I can also understand anger at discs that were just slapped together. But in this case, I don't think another version is on the way, and I don't feel that it was just "slapped together".
