Dune Mini directors cut strangeness?

[Sober]

So I went and bought the Dune mini, Director's Cut. Movie looks intact (watched it, pretty good IMO) and the special features seem to be there.

What I found weird was the case's opening cover had a flap for something that should be there, but there isn't anything. Second, DVD 3 is different from the other 2. It specifically says "Special Edition" and "Disc III - The Prophet" with a different CD cover design on it, while the other two look like generic DVDs.

Well, everything's there, and all intact when I bought it, maybe I'm just being super anal about it.

Now if I could only find the Children of Dune mini, I can't find anywhere around my area that has a copy. (Short of the internet)

[Mahdi]

The flap is supposed to contain a small booklet and there are supposed to be designs on all three of the DVD's.

Did it include the scene of Paul and Lei in the weirding room?

[driftingcloud]

Yeah, Disc One is blue with Paul in a stillsuit. Disk two is reddish with the Baron and says "Disc II Maud'Dib". And as Madhi said, a tri-fold booklet with the scene breakdown goes in the flap.

The flap is supposed to contain a small booklet and there are supposed to be designs on all three of the DVD's.

No booklet, and first 2 aren't marked SE, design is just Paul and Chani's backs and the dune sea. Only disc 3 is marked SE, has Paul and Leto. Strange.

Did it include the scene of Paul and Lei in the weirding room?

If that was in Disc 1 or 2, don't remember seeing it.

And I bought it from BestBuy too, how did I somehow land the strange copy?  :-

Might try to return it for the same copy, but I'm not sure if this qualifies as non-defective... and not to mention the BestBuy has only this 1 copy (that I have) and is within anywhere reasonably close to where I live.

If disc one does not contain a scene of Paul learning about a sandworm via a holographic recording, followed by him walking through the keep into the weirding room where he meets Leit-Kynes and has a discussion with hima bout dew collectors, than that dvd is not the se and you should get an exchange.

[Sober]

Yeah, got that, it's scene 17 on disc one, starts with the sandworm hologram, and the dew collector discussion in the botanical room.

So I should be ok?

Omg, while looking at my directors cut version it fell apart!!

The first part that holds cd1 came completely off.

That pisses me off.

Here's a scan of cd1 (which fell off >:( )

Anyone know how to make it better? :(

Yeah, mine had been falling apart for about a year and completely broke last fall/winter.  Same part too.

[Egeides]

Scotch tape and crazy glue?...

I'll stay digital.

[gunner154]

Um, so the disc itself broke? Both at the same parts? Manufacturing defects :-

[Andrew]

No, Mahdi and I discs are fine. Just the booklet that holds the disc has fallen off the outside booklet/jacket.

[driftingcloud]

Yeah, my has come undone at the spine. Nothing has fallen completely out yet, but I'm sure it will.

This is a bit off-topicish, but what is the duration of your special edition? Is it (approx.) 4h 48min or is it a wee bit longer?

[Andrew]

Says 295 minutes of feature running time on the back of mine. :)

[Pawe]

Thanks. That clears out some confusion.  8)
