but suddenly looking at your description I'll wait until the directors cut comes on dvd with black freighter

So will you buy all three versions on DVD, or just wait for the full version?

Besides Tales of the Black Freighter, what are they doing with the various texts that appear at the end of the first 11 chapters, like the excerpts from Behind the Mask and the Veidt Corporation memos? (I like the irony of all the merchandising that is appearing in Previews at the moment in this regard.)

I'll take option number three for great justice!

I'm planning to see it at the GSC IMAX on release day.

Interested to know what they're cutting for the theatrical run: I'm guessing that a lot of the character back story will get trimmed. Like the stuff with the psychiatrist in the "The Abyss Gazes Also" chapter.
