Gladiator - Special Edition

I would be the first to admit that I am an addict. I'm addicted to DVDs.

I would be more than happy to spend every spare euro on DVDs, so special edition box sets are all too tempting. The latest one that caught my eye is the 3 disc box set of Gladiator. According to Amazon:

DVD Features: • Special Feature Information: ° Introduction By Ridley Scott ° Commentary By Russell Crowe And Ridley Scott ° Are You Not Entertained ° Tales Of The Scribes Story Development ° The Tools Of War Weapons ° Attire Of The Realm Costume ° The Heat Of Battle Production Journals ° The Glory Of Rome Visual Effects ° Shadows And Dust Resurrecting Proximo ° Echoes In Eternity Release And Impact ° Production Design Primer Arthur Max ° Production Design Gallery ° Storyboard Demonstration Sylvian Despretz ° Storyboard Gallery ° Storyboard To Film Comparisons ° Ridleygrams ° Costume Design Gallery ° Photo Galleries ° Abandoned Sequences And Deleted Scenes ° VFX Explorations Germania And Rome ° Trailers And TV Spots

I've already got the 2 disc box set, so I'm not 100% sure whether the 3 disc version is worth it, but I know I am tempted.

Don't feel bad :)
I saw The Matrix in the cinema three times in three different countries when it first came out.

Gladiator is one of those films that I simply adore. I'm not sure why exactly, but it's always been one of my favourites. I still maintain, however, that some of the subplots were uncalled for and could have been left on the cutting room floor.

I take it that you're pleased at the news that they're making a sequel out of it.

Overrated version of Brave heart in my opnion unfortunately, but I do share the same DVD obsession.

They've been talking about a sequel/prequel for years. I'll believe it when I see the trailers!
