View Full Version : Possible stupid question about a varying AIFST releases

hello there.

this is my first contribution to any messageboard of any kind, but more important than that, i must stress beforehand - to not be misunderstood - and with capital letters that I AM NOT A RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

having said that, i would like to clarify a simple question regarding the existence of a double and single DVD format of the aforementioned beastie boys release. making it a short story, my boyfriend has recently visited the city of NY and aware of the natural disregard the labels (or whoever should be doing that) seem to have on releasing any material such as this one on the south of america i requested him to purchase me a copy. upon his arrival i noticed - the same with the criterion collection which was released on tropical land though - there was a single DVD inside the box. i searched for a couple of features i had heard of and could not find them.

what then? what? is he the cheap fool i know him to be and was convinced by some bootlegging street bafoon to purchase a pirate version of the damned thing?
- i felt i should make a friendly joke/pun to gain the affection of the members of this board -

ps: i have no idea if there is any interaction between the band and this but if so, i must say that all the monkeys here have long been potty trained and we have very modern vacines for the freaky rainforest diseases.

you should definetely come by more often.

thank you for your attention.

lol you're funny

ok its really confusing knowing all the different DVD versions but this is what i'm sure of. The U.S dvd's that were sold at Best Buy stores are packaged with 2 disc & theres another version with only 1 which were sold at other places like amazon.com, so i don't know where you're boyfriend got your copy of AIFST, but all i know is the the 2 disc version with bonus material was sold at Best Buy

confusing? yea, but hopefully that made some sense

yes, i am very funny.

he told me he bought it at a Virgin Megastore. why is that? is this one version cheaper - he refuses to tell me how much it was, the cheap bastard. and did the Criterion Collection also came in both formats in the U.S? what a strange world we live in ahn?

oh and yes it did make some sense.

at first i thought you put I AM NOT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.....lol that's not something i'd admit to either. =P

oh! do you know the extras on the bonus dvd? it's a shazam video (in maaany sweet camera angles) plus a bbq cook-off! hilarious stuff (y)

if you're interested in it, i could possibly give it to you since i STILL have that extra AIFST dvd. (check with me on that mmkay)

i didn't think the anthology came as two separate versions, did it? :confused:
what's your version like?

woohow.

you would give it to me? i sure do live a bit far away...well, i will take that offer - i should have posted something earlier man - my Anthology version is a one DVD thing as well. it has all i've heard it should contain but i've seen it being sold out there as a two DVD thing. a thing with two DVD's i mean.

it was bought and manufactured here in the lovely land of Brasil, this one i own. it has not more than a simple fold-out-once leaflet with very simple textual content and some imagery - though it claims to contain a fold out poster. what'd you say? am i just loosing out here man? just missing out on the good stuff?

how can we proceed to have this transaction on the extra AIFST DVD happen? i did yes know about the extra content therefore my coming out here wanting to clarify things properly.

hey, thanks a many for the attention you good people.

hey, silly me.

i do have 2 DVD on the anthology i posses. i guess it's been a while since i've watched it. but nonetheless, there is no poster in there.

sorry about that and thanks for writing all the featured videos down just to help out.
