if you have the chance to get the double disk T2 ultimate, get it. since the single disc version is a flipper, wala syang artwork na nasa 2 disc version...  SPR:if ur planning to upgrade to a DTS system, get the DTS, if you'll stay DD, get the DD, may extra features sya na wala sa DTS

can you tell from the package whether the Ultimate T2 is a flipper or 2 disks?  i ordered mine from amazon and they sent me the one with 2 disks.

I don't think they're going to produce the 2-disc version anymore since the producers really intended the Ultimate T2 to be a DVD-18 disc.  They produced the 2-disc version because the DVD manufacturing plants didn't have enough capacity to produce all the double-sided two-layered disc in time for the street date because they underestimated the demand. So the 2-disc set came out as a stop gap measure and so I think my 2-disc Ultimate T2 is now a COLLECTOR'S ITEM!!!!   ;D  ;D  ;D

adding Moulin Rouge DVD as a must have in your collection. :)

Elephant Love Song Medley

(Ewan McGregor:)
Love is many a splendored thing
Love lift us up where we belong
All you need is love
(Nicole Kidman:)
Please don't start that again
(Ewan McGregor:)
All you need is love
(Nicole Kidman:)
A girl has got to eat
(Ewan McGregor:)
All you need is love
(Nicole Kidman:)
Or she'll end up on the streets
(Ewan McGregor:)
All you need is love
(Nicole Kidman:)
Love is just a game
(Ewan McGregor:)
I was made for loving for you baby, you were made for loving me
(Nicole Kidman:)
The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee
(Ewan McGregor:)
Just one night give me just one night
(Nicole Kidman:)
There's no way 'cause you can't pay
(Ewan McGregor:)
In the name of love
One night in the name of love
(Nicole Kidman:)
You crazy fool
I won't give in to you
(Ewan McGregor:)
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
(Nicole Kidman:)
You'd think the people
Would've had enough
Of silly love songs
(Ewan McGregor:)
I look around me and I see
It isn't so (Ha ha) no
(Nicole Kidman:)
Some people
Wanna fill the world
With silly love songs
(Ewan McGregor:)
Well what's wrong with that
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go, yeah
Love lift us up
Where we belong
Where eagles fly
Over mountain high
(Nicole Kidman:)
Love makes us act
Like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day
(Ewan McGregor:)
We could be heroes
Just for one day
(Nicole Kidman:)
You, you will be mean
(Ewan McGregor:)
No I won't
(Nicole Kidman:)
And I
I'll drink all the time
(Ewan McGregor:)
We should be lovers
(Nicole Kidman:)
We can't do that
(Ewan McGregor:)
We should be lovers
And that's a fact
(Nicole Kidman:)
Though nothing
Will keep us together
(Ewan McGregor:)
We could steal time
Just for one day
(Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman:)
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
(Ewan McGregor:)
Just because
I will always love you
(Nicole Kidman:)
And I
(Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman:)
Can't help loving
(Ewan McGregor:)
You
(Nicole Kidman:)
How wonderful life is
(Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman:)
Now you're in the world

i just watched james cameron's THE ABYSS special edition 2 disk set
and the extra features on this dvd blows away any other dvd's i've seen including T2 U.E.
even if this film is older than deep blue sea w/c is about 12 years...
the special effects on this movie is truly amazing!

another reason to see this dvd is the additional 28 min. footage that was added to the theatrical
version that added another sub-plot to the movie.

i've probably spent another 2 hours just going through the extra features w/c i have not yet finished, (since in my excitement i felt that i had to post this:)
but it really got my interest and respect in creating underwater movies.

if you want to read more of the added features on this dvd...
heres a link that gives a brief feedback on the added features:
http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?id=492

or better yet just buy or rent this dvd! you will not regret it! ;)

i hope you don't mind this rather late reaction but i just got my copy of this DVD early this year. you're right this has got to be the most if not one of the most comprehensive DVDs ever. lots and lots of extra features that would surely consume one's time. if you're the type who wants to know all aspects of movie-making then this one's for you. i even read a review of this DVD that this one gives way way too much information that it might have gotten overboard. well, for me, goes to show that the producers of this DVD really did their best to come up with a "complete" DVD. drawback is that video is not anamorphic. heard they're gonna release an anamorphic version soon. or is it out yet?

DVD Suggestions for new DVD collector
« Reply #70 on: Jun 15, 2002 at 10:09 PM »
 :) Hi guys! I just got my first DVD (LG brand, combo DVD/CD-RW drive) and I need some suggestions for my first DVD movie.

Should it be an R1 or R3? Boxed set? Single/dual layered? I have no movie (or TV series) in mind though I'd like it to be crammed with as much extras as possible.

Oh, and please include where I could buy it (and if possible how much). Thanks guys!

Question: why not the R1 version of Matrix or R3 of T2? Any differences?

Because an R1 version of Matrix is identical to the R3 and will cost you twice as much; and there is NO R3 version of T2.

Hmmm...just saw reviews for T2 - it gives new meaning to the term "fully loaded"!

Thanks NY152 - I didn't know there wasn't an R3 of T2. I'm gonna put it on my order list from Amazon! But what about that Matrix Revisited DVD? How's it compare to the original Matrix DVD?

I haven't bought ANY DVD yet - and it's been days since I got my DVD drive! Just can't decide on what to buy so I'm waiting for more suggestions.

You can't compare the two. The Matrix Revisted is a completely different film. It's a documentary on the making of The Matrix, and is also loaded with extra features. The original The Matrix film is NOT included in The Matrix Revisited.

Superman: the Movie (R3) will also be a good buy.  Lots of features and very good transfer, too.  ;D

Or better yet, you can check out the thread Must have on DVD collection under DVD discussion.

Thanks again NY152 - I had no idea they were different DVDs! I thought the Revisited DVD is the Matrix with an extra disc!

Well, so far I have a short list:

a. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seasons 1 and 2)
b. T2: UE
c. the Matrix
d. M*A*S*H (seasons 1 and 2)

Thanks Aeris - I have checked out that thread (as well as "Whats your first DVD purchase") - all informative for me (almost 90% bought the Matrix).

Moderators: you can close this link na - I finally bought my first DVD!

It's the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I bought from a fellow pinoydvd member (si Elf). Haven't watched it though but it's now - technically and essentially - my first DVD purchase so this link's no longer needed.

Thanks to all who helped!
