Additional Notes:

1. "Stills Gallery" is listed in menu as "Photo Gallery". I have written it as "Stills Gallery" above to make it easier to compare with the other Blu-ray releases.

2. Blu-ray B Germany - NSM Records - entry in the database also currently has "Old Wife Tales", when onscreen title is "Old Wives Tales". Given the runtime, this item (and also the one on the DVD copy of the NSM release) presumably also includes "Extended Dinner Scene" the same way as the Via Vision release. I don't own the NSM release, so I don't know how it is listed in the onscreen menu.

3. The Second Sight release is arguably the best, however it lacks some extras e.g. "Synchro Special" German dub featurette, Filmographies, stills gallery, trailers.

Added! Thanks.

[Darrel_Griffin]

Thanks Anthony.

A couple of things for:

Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning:

1. For the Via Vision Blu-ray, you missed out an extra:

Grant Harvey's Video Diary (10:16)

In the onscreen menu it is listed between the "Making of" featurettes and the Deleted Scenes.


2. For the NSM Blu-ray, it seems you have made a change:

Old Wife Tales -> Old Wives Tale's

It may well be written as: Old Wife Tales in the menu, but I do not own this release. In any case, it should not have an apostrophe (Tales NOT Tale's) (arguably the correct English should be: Old Wives' Tales, but the onscreen title within the featurette itself is: Old Wives Tales i.e. no apostrophes anywhere).

Also, you have not mentioned that it also (presumably) includes "Extended Dinner Scene" within the same item (for the NSM release). Although I cannot confirm 100% that this is the case, I would be astonished if it were not, given the runtime of the item, and the similarity between many of the extras across the various releases.

It also needs updating for the NSM DVD copy.

[Anthony_DiPaola]

Thanks! All updated.

[Darrel_Griffin]

1. The NSM releases look good now (although I cannot be certain the item is listed in the menu as "Old Wife Tales", but maybe we should assume so).

2. However, for:

Grant Harvey's Video Diary (10:16)

you have added it to the wrong release - Second Sight instead of Via Vision, so now the Second Sight release has it listed twice!

So this second one needs to be removed from Second Sight, leaving just the original, i.e.:

remove:
Grant Harvey's Video Diary (10:16)

keep:
Grant Harvey's Video Diaries (9:50)

And for the Via Vision release, please add:

Grant Harvey's Video Diary (10:16)

immediately after the "Making of" section and before the "Deleted Scenes" section.

(FYI the shorter runtime for this extra on the Second Sight release is probably due to PAL speedup, since 9:50 at 25fps is equivalent to 10:15 at 24fps.)

[Anthony_DiPaola]

Man, you got a good eye. Fixed.

[Darrel_Griffin]

Well thanks for the compliment! All looks good now
