Greatest DVD news of the year

[Darth Tanner]

Just saw this on the Digital Bits website and decided to share it with everybody:

We've got a pair of interesting new standard DVD release announcements to report this morning from 20th Century Fox. The studio has revealed that they'll bow Mark Robson's Valley of the Dolls: Special Edition and Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls on 6/13. Each will be a 2-disc set (SRP $26.98 each). Valley of the Dolls will include the film with audio commentary by Alonso Duralde, a second commentary with members of the cast, Gotta Get off this Merry-Go-Round: Sex, Dolls and Showtunes, Pill Pop-Up Karaoke: Follow the Bouncing Doll, The Divine Ms. Susann, Doll-a-Palooza: Addicts Forum a Go-Go, Translate French Porn Movies, a What's My Line? episode, screen test footage for several cast members, trailers and TV spots, archival featurettes and much more. Meanwhile, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls will include audio commentary with screenwriter and film critic Roger Ebert, a second commentary with the cast, Above, Beneath and Beyond the Valley, Look on Up at the Bottom, The Best of Beyond: Psychedelic Scrapbook, Sex, Drugs, Music & Murder: Signs of the Time, Baby, Z-Man's Far Out Party Favors, event footage from S. Perry-Z-man's boobs, trailers and TV spots, more screen test footage, an archival promotional piece and more. Here's the cover art for both titles...


BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS finally getting a domestic DVD release, and as a fully-loaded special edition to boot. WOOHOO!!!! I guess now I can part with my featureless non-anamorphic region 2 disc. This is awesome news indeed. Can't wait to hear those commentaries (especially the one by Ebert). Just less than two months to go:cheers:
