So one new extra announced (Death in Venice featurette). What a great spoiler :shock:
That's really ambiguous and could mean anything, unless some prick were to put the spoiler into context (like you just did, fucking prick
).

Lol, that's exactly what I thought too.
Death in Venice is the name of a famous Visconti film.

What? You wouldn't immediately assume there is a death in the film by that title? It's common for featurettes to be named after parts of a film.

Erm nope. As Eva says, it's way too ambiguous to think about.

Death could refer to any character including a villain or henchman?
Or it could just be a play on words in regards to the film I mentioned earlier.
Or just a general hint at violence.

Like they'd do that, re: a henchman.

Which has nothing to do with the film.

Huh? What?
It's just a differing opinion not some bollocks about me being right. I happen to think it's a blatant spoiler just like the front cover of Planet of the Apes is.
Anyway moving on.

Hopefully that'll mean it is uncut on DVD then...
"The only question remains... will you yield... in time?"
I've seen that scene 4 times now & I still cringe at every strike. Ouch!

Ok-ish coverart, but I would have definately preferred this coverart:
Just a great image. Would love that as a poster.
I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...

Same here. That poster would have made far better cover art. I hope the designers change their minds & go with the poster art instead...

I doubt it, they rarely ever do. Only Warner really do that. I don't mind the cover art (I like it actually), it could've been much worse.
Great to hear that thanks Grim, fingers crossed.

Hmmm.. now the certificate has been changed. Play say "12 years and over", if you look closely at the cover it has a UK "12" on it.
Maybe it could have been passed uncut with a 12
Or maybe not.

The cover art that the e-tailers get is not proof one way or the other. We'll only know for sure once the film has been passed for home viewing at the BBFC...

What's to be confused it could easily be Cut 12 just like the cinema or was that your point?

The distributor could've pre-cut the DVD before submitting it to the BBFC.

That was my point, yes
