Heathers: Limited Edition Locker Set (US - DVD R1 | BD RA) in News > Releases at DVDActive

The Limited Edition Locker Set contains: a numbered locker, a 20-page hardcover Heathers year book, an 'awesome' T-shirt, 14 locker/fridge magnets, a collectable Westerburg algebra book, the BD and two DVDs. Those DVDs will present the film in an anamorphic 1.85:1 transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and contain the features highlighted above in addition to an original ending screenplay excerpt accessible from DVD-ROM. We will provide more details as it becomes available.

The price is quite steep especially since it doesn't look like there's much in the realm of new special features, not to mention I don't have a Blu Ray player, but I still must have it. Something from Comic-Con 2008 that I forgot to mention was that I met Daniel Waters, the screenwriter for Heathers. He was insanely cool. Yes, insanely.

Heathers is one of my favorite movies. It's probably the first dark comedy I ever watched. It also solidified my love for Winona Ryder and my hatred for Shannen Doherty. Hatred in the sense that I love to hate her. Jeri and I used to have this game where we would send each other postcards and somewhere on the card we would put a Heathers quote. I had totally forgotten about it but when I was moving I found a couple post cards from her and on one there was the line "Is that pate?" I recently watched the movie again on DVD and it's still just as great as I remembered. It also reminded me how far Christian Slater has fallen after this, Pump Up the Volume, and True Romance. It's easy to forget these days that at one point he wasn't a joke.

Come back to us J.D., we need you.

We privatize profits; we socialize losses. That is to say, if AIG were booming nobody would ever say that you and I should have the opportunity to take it over. But when it collapses and threatens the entire economy, it becomes our problem.
