Giveaway Day Four, Part One: Apocalypse Now
TSJ has always believed in the power of giveaways–and in our kickass readers the past few months. As our way of giving back for the holidays, we’re rolling out our biggest giveaways yet with our 12 Days of Giveaways free shit blowout. Every weekday for the next few weeks, we’ll be giving away everything from DVDs and books to gadgets and furniture for you to stuff your own stocking. Keep your eye out for the daily post to see how you can win hundreds of dollars worth of freebies.
Yesterday, a couple of you lucky bastards picked up copies of Titan Maximum and Wolverine and X-Men in the third day of our 12 Days of Giveaways extravaganza. Today, we’re coming at you with superheros of the filmmaking variety: Francis Ford Coppola, Marlon Brando and Martin Sheen, to be exact. We’ve got two copies of Apocalypse Now on tasty Blu-Ray disc to give away!
Apocalypse Now is, by far, one of the finest meditations on war to hit the silver screen in the past few decades. It’s been lauded by critics time and time again and features career-making performances from a cast of incredible actors that remain fresh upon repeat viewing. If you haven’t seen it, now’s the time – especially with these awesome Blu-Ray two-disc special editions!
We’ve got two copies of the Apocalypse Now Two-Disc Special Edition to give away, which includes both Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux, an extended edition of the film with 49 minutes of original footage restored. You also get nine hours of bonus features. Read that again. Nine hours of bonus material, including lost scenes, never-before-seen interviews and documentaries about the incredible process that went into turning hundreds of hours of film into a masterpiece.
