Right, but those are completely new products. This is the same movie, and not even a home video rip or a cam rip. I guess I can get behind Big Momma, and I wouldn't be shocked that a raw would pop up. But we're potentially talking about illegal things, so probably best to drop it.

Wait, people are translating DBH: VM? But DBSD isn't translated anymore.

Here we go, guys...can't believe I'm staying up to watch a movie I already own on DVD...
No one said being a DB fan was easy.
They're screening an ad for the film along with the weather right now.
EDIT: This it guys! Anyone else here watching?

I am
I've only seen the movie once so my memories of it are a little fuzzy...that opening montage wasn't in the original, was it?

No, it wasn't.
Some of those re-drawn scenes looked pretty bad.
Overall, I'm glad they expanded on the prologue, though. That whole sequence always struck me as awkward.

The animation in the beginning with ''Goku's past'' sucks!
Watch it [link removed by admin]. That's better than Keyhole Tv.

Apparently Beerus has been to Earth before? And claims responsiblity for the dinosaurs going extinct?
...
I guess nobody's bothered to tell him that dinosaurs are still very much alive on the Dragon Ball Earth.

Lengthy new conversation between Whis and Beerus after the latter woke up.
I hope someone is making notes on every new addition to the movie. Would make a neat guide on the website.
I assume that new scene was Goku forgetting about Bulma's party...great!
Eh, gonna try prevent this from becoming a live blog. Will try stay quiet now.
BOG fever has gripped me once again.

I think that it'll be better to wait for someone to rip the film so we can compare it with the DVD version.

Yeah, that part was a little awkward. At first it looked like Bubbles was reaching into Goku's pants and I was like OMG WHAT IS HE DOING o_O

It seems like pretty much every other scene is getting extra content.

I never even wonder why Goku was so healthy after his beating by Beerus, it just felt natural to me that he had a few hours to recover. But they chose that his injuries were more serious than that and that he had a senzu to heal, be back to full health to train and come back on Earth, with Bubbles finding that senzu bag hidden in his belt. Luckily, Goku is always careful!

Piccolo singing wasn't any different, but the break dance scene was extended with a drunk Mr. Satan.

Gonna try only making posts during ad breaks...and there's one right now.
Pretty substantial new scene of Goku recovering from a Senzu
Vegeta searching for Beerus and Whis...oh, oh man...
Drunk Mr. Satan...it works so well!
Really enjoying this extended version of the movie. Seems to flow a lot better (pun no intended
). Really starting to notice how abrupt some of the cuts were in the original film.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Noticed there's also some new music. Maybe some of it was what was composed for Kai?
