The supplemental looks the same as Criterion's existing 3-DVD set but with a new booklet added (except for the DVD version, which seems like it will get the same booklet as before). Hopefully, it's a brand new transfer of the film. I am ashamed to say I haven't yet watched my single-disc, non-Criterion Blu-ray yet for sake of comparison.

My dad has the 3 disc box set, but my shelf has always felt a little incomplete without me having my own copy.

The decision now is whether or not to let my dad buy the Blu and just wait for him to give me the DVDs or buy my own. I guess it will depend on whether or not it's a new transfer.

Dude, my dad can never make it through Brazil, lol, he gets bored.

Now that I think about it, 12 Monkeys might be the only Gilliam movie he likes.

He's obviously misguided, haha!

I mean 12 Monkeys is good and all, but you know what I mean. Still a Criterion 12 Monkeys one day?
