Universal knows an obsessive fan base when they see it, and so they’re cashing in on the zealotism of Brokeback Mountain devotees this winter by releasing a new, Collector’s Edition of Brokeback Mountain. Lionsgate should release a Collector’s Edition of Crash at the same time, just for spite.
Brokeback Mountain: Collector’s Edition hits shelves in just a couple of weeks on January 23rd. Included in the release will be new bonus features and new, never before seen footage. Also in it will be knickknacks. Collectible postcards to be specific. I’m sure your mail carrier will love delivering those.
