Specifically, because the first AH "Special Edition" was a serviceably
weenie 1-disk, that by the time the more respectable fully-loaded
anniversary 2-disk came out, they couldn't well call it "the
Specialer-Specialer Edition"--
And plain ol' "25th Anniversary Edition" gets lost in the shuffle of
normal disks using the same banner.
Point being, at least AH had a separate-release *excuse* to grab a
cutesy-nym, but Paramount abused the privilege with their do-overs.

itself the "Some People Without Brains Do An Awful Lot of Talking Edition")
