Hot on the heels of the Paramount new release announcement, Paramount just declared that on May 20, it will bring back into the retail pipeline the first of several waves of previously discontinued catalog titles. The May 20 wave includes: Aeon Flux Babel Black Snake Moan Dreamgirls Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Sleepy Hollow The Untouchables The Warriors

The upcoming BluRay of How the West Was Won looks awesome. While it's a 1962 film, they digitally restored it at 12K from the camera negatives. Cinerama is the highest resolution film format after IMAX, so expect a reference quality image. http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=67598 Good to hear that Paramount is getting back on track and actually with some decent titles.

I guess that my Blu-Ray copy of Sky Captain isn't collectable anymore.  Now announce Star Trek you bastards.

quote:Warner Home Video has announced the 1985 Clint Eastwood directed and starred in film Pale Rider is coming to Blu-ray disc on August 26. http://www.themanroom.com/news/Pale...to_Blu-ray/2649 quote:In the waning months of Universal Studios Home Entertainment's HD DVD era, the studio had standardized the use of Dolby TrueHD audio on almost all newly announced titles. This was in stark contrast to the early Universal HD DVD days when the appearance of Dolby TrueHD was overshadowed by the heavy use of Dolby Digital Plus lossy audio. http://www.themanroom.com/news/Excl...udio_Plans/2651 So does that mean we are also getting new transfers or only an audio upgrade?

Hasn't the Warriors remained pretty easy to find? I was just at Best Buy on Monday trying to kill my "we're sorry HD DVD died, please don't hate us" $50 gift card and I saw a copy on the shelf.

If anyone has a Fry's near them, check your local ad. A bunch of recent Fox titles are on sale for 14.99, including I Robot, Independence Day, 28 Weeks Later, Rescue Dawn, Man on Fire, and a bunch of others. I ended up grabbing a few titles today, since these sales are a lot more rare these days.

So I was thinking of %100 must buys for the rest of the year and came up with this list, probably missing a couple already. I better start putting in some overtime. -Ironman -Indy 4 -Batman -Shawshank redemption -There will be Blood -Hulk -Wall-E -Horton Hears a Who -- These will sell a lot of Blu Ray players this year imo.

keyframe posted:These will sell a lot of Blu Ray players this year imo. Only if they come down significantly in price. The cheapest one is still 400 dollars and that's a lot of money to drop on a player. Especially knowing that you still have to get movies after you spend all that cash.

Almost all of Paramount's Bluray art is actively bad. And that's even from the standpoint of typical giant-head MS Paint complilations that dominate DVD covers. Let's all try to ignore our fiery midsections by looking off in the distance. Maybe it'll go away.

Connellingus posted:What is it with There Will Be Blood and terrible packaging? Check out the single-disc DVD box; the cover is just fine but the box itself is basically a Hallmark card with a spine. I can only imagine that it's to give you that much more incentive to buy the two-disc version. The two-disc of TWBB is the same thing, only three pages of flimsy paper. The hell? Plus, the disc got scrathed sliding it out. That's about the shittiest packaging ever.

That's really utterly horrible. In comparison I don't think Blood Diamond is that bad. It's a horrible movie and it deserves a lovely cover. There Will Be Blood does not. We've seen cover art changed before.. but anyway, making your own is good fun and I've lost count of how many re-done DVDs I have.

Full specs on upcoming Paramount BluRays (including There Will Be Blood): http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=67617 Looks like my prediction came true. I previously said I wouldn't be able to afford 1080p and BluRay until a silent film came out (thinking it would be at least 2020). TWBB has that short 1920s documentary The Story of Petroleum in 1080p as an extra. DVDTimes released the specs today. This morning, I got the call saying I've just been accepted for a graphic artist job (with a great starting salary) starting on Friday. Looks like I'll go HD by the end of the summer.

Awesome, I can finally replace the lovely flipper disc release of Bottle Rocket and maybe now I can convince myself to snag The Third Man. Good thing they decided to keep prices the same for SD and HD releases, 'cause with their pricing structure on some movies, that could get terribly expensive. Now where's your initial Blu-ray slate Blue Underground? Your company name is perfect for a questionable pun.

If anyone is looking for documentaries in high def I'd definitely recommend Helvetica. I saw it at a film fest last year and even though its a movie about a typeface, it was really fascinating. http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/1459/helvetica.html The highdefdigest guy didnt like it as much as I did, but there are all the links.

Even though I think the two-disc SD DVD cover art for TWBB is awesome... I don't find the BD cover as horrible as the rest of you. Yeah its misrepresentative of what the film is actually like but I think Daniel Plainview looks like a badass anyway so its all good to me ha.

Finally the world can jerk off to Jenny Agutter in HD. I mean.. eh, admire the photography  (no really, I loving love that movie. It's beautiful and by the time it reaches the insano-flash-forward-intercutting I'm crying like a baby.) Those other releases are pretty weird. I was expecting some Kurosawa at the least, given that's such a Criterion staple. Quatre Cent Coups obviously an obligatory purchase.
