Extra 11 minutes of Terry Crews making people explode? Brilliant.

It sounds like a fantastic set and one I'll seriously consider pre-ordering. I haven't seen Godzilla in a long time and I should really dig out the BFI special edition and give it another watch.

Like Godzilla, Traffic is another film I should watch more often and haven't seen in over a year. I'll need to re-watch it before deciding whether to splash out on the Criterion BD, something which should be replete with extra features and boasting extremely high AV quality.
