The re-release of Avatar hits theaters this week. I think they’re calling it Avatar: Cash Grab or Special Edition or Deluxe Version or something like that. It’s gonna be like, totally worth it because there’s going to be an EXTRA NINE MINUTES of footage we didn’t see the first time around. But it gets better.

Because this is the best movie ever made and it’s getting a special re-release with extra stuff for the awesome fans and the twelve people that missed it in theaters the first time around, Fox has announced they’re releasing the special edition DVD with that has… wait for it… SIXTEEN whole minutes of even more spectacular footage! Including shots of the Nav’i going to school, the death of one major Na’vi character and a hunt for one of Pandora’s creatures; ya know, stuff that will really enhance the depth of the story and flesh things out so much better with the characters. Not to mention we’ll all be able to own at least three different versions of the movie for our bookshelves!

Let’s see, the film was released in theaters in December of 2009. The DVD/Blu-Ray was released in April of 2010. We’re getting the re-release in theaters this Friday and now a new special edition DVD/Blu-Ray this November. Don’t forget, sometime next year, we will finally see the 3D Blu-Ray release of the film, which I’m sure will have even more extra footage. Yeah, this is all set to happen within a year and half of the film’s initial theatrical release. – nerdbastards

Condescension aside, I’m actually curious if anyone out there (that visits this site anyway) is planning on checking out the second coming of Chr… Avatar this weekend. As a side question, are you planning on picking up the Blu-ray/DVD? If so, which version(s)?
