It's marketed as The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration.  I don't know yet if this is actually a different cut as well; my gut and memory says yes, and this version is better.  Or if it's not recut, then the original is more brilliant than i said.

Jeezuz, i didn't even know it's not yet
released
in the US.

That might be the thing that pushes me into putting down hard cash on a blu-ray player

Wow, a bit of research, this won't be released in the US until Sept 23 (of course 23).  Amazon allows pre-sales now, but it's officially available in Britain.  My version has a German sheet pasted on the back, so i guess that makes it official in Deutschland as well.

I can't believe i've already watched some parts twice, and you can't get it in the US.  And it's not bootlegged chinese version, it's actually signed by Francis (copied).

I now know this release means the introduction of a new technology for restoring old, damaged emulsions.  Every pixel (emulsions also have "pixels" albeit chemically) is there and it shows!

So why is it released here and not in the US?  Have we won, or is it to acknowledge Sicily as a part of the EU?  Did someone make a mistake?  Was the US release timed to come at the heat of the election?  What was in Francis' mind?
