Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...-anything.html
Two new features for DVD: "A Conversation with Cameron Crowe" and "I Love Say Anything...!", plus the original bonus features. Four new features for Blu: the two I just mentioned, plus "An Iconic Film Revisited: Say Anything... 20 Years Later" and "To Know Say Anything...Is to Love It!" trivia track. Cover art is lame.

It would be awesome if Fox did this in a similar package to the old 2-disc set, but I highly doubt that. I hate the get rid of that sweet packaging!

I will probably throw out the blu-ray case, give my SD set to someone and just put the Blu Ray in the SD case.

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
Just picked up The Girl Next Door. A film that's very close to my heart --- I actually saw it four times during it's theatrical release, i.e. I paid for 80% of the film's final gross.
Not the greatest PQ by all means, especially considering it's a low-budget teen sex comedy. I'm actually surprised by the amount of grain on the transfer. |

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
Yeah, I have the original release (not the collector's edition repackaging), it just has such a cool feel to it. But, out with the old and in with the new I say... now to figure out where to unload the DVD....

A couple of new features for Fight Club. From blu-ray.com:
Fight Club Blu-ray Gets New Content 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of 'Fight Club: 10th Anniversary Edition', which as we told you will hit shelves on November 17. It will be presented on a 50GB dual-layer disc, with 2.40:1 1080p AVC video and a 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio soundtrack. It will include two new interactive featurettes: “A Hit In The Ear: Ren Klyce and the Sound Design of Fight Club ” which allows users to remix four key scenes themselves with the help of sound designer Ren Klyce; and “Insomniac Mode: I Am Jack's Search Index,” giving viewers the ability to access any part of the disc's bonus material via interactive tools. The BD also features behind-the-scenes with Fincher, Pitt and Norton as they accept the Guy Movie Hall of Fame honor for 'Fight Club' at Spike TV's 2009 Guys Choice Awards. Special features will include: Four commentaries: Director David Fincher Fincher and actors Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter Novelist Chuck Palahniuk and screenwriter Jim Uhls Crew (Alex McDowell, Jeff Cronenweth, Michael Kaplan and Kevin Haug) Featurettes: A Hit in the Ear: Ren Klyce and the Sound Design of Fight Club (New) Welcome to Fight Club Angel Faces Beating The Crash Tyler's Goodbye Flogging Fight Club (New) Work: Production; Visual Effects; On Location Insomniac Mode: I Am Jack's Search Index, Commentary Log, Topic Search (New) Behind the Scenes Vignettes: Production, Visual Effects, On Location Edward Norton Interview Seven Deleted Scenes and Alternate Scenes Trailer Farm: Theatrical Teaser Theatrical Trailer The Eight Rules of Fight Club 12 TV Spots Public Service Announcements Music Video Five Internet Spots Promotional Gallery Art Gallery

So, did they screw up the transfer, or was it just shot that soft?

I think the transfer was probably "good enough" back in 2004, but it really doesn't hold up and is in desperate need of being redone.

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
Makes me wonder if the technology the studios use to make quality masters has really improved that much in the last few/several years or they were just so poorly done back then?

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
The film honestly never looked that good to begin with. The detail could be sharper, but this is a film that has always looked soft and grainy, even in it's original release.

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
The Bits has a look at the Fight Club art. It's not as good as the brown-paper-bag packaging from the DVD SE but it's special, at least, and it's not the horrible 1-disc DVD art. http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents

^^ The Fight Club artwork looks good to me also. Classy - a bit reminiscent of A-ha's "Take on Me" video for me, for some reason - but classy.

I like the Fight Club art. Would have preferred the theatrical one-sheet, but at least they didn't use that horrid VHS cover.

Def digging the Fight Club art. Nice to see Fox didn't go lame on it.

Fight Club art looks really cool, almost like a T-shirt design.

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
Did anyone pick up any of the Wrong Turn films?
Are the transfers as bad as I've been reading?

Re: Fox titles - Fight Club, Girl Next Door, Wrong Turn, Say Anything... and more!
I reviewed both:
Wrong Turn Wrong Turn 2 Wrong Turn 2 is probably about where it's supposed to be for a gritty, low-budget 16mm shoot for a DTV flick. It doesn't look great, but I could at least tell I was watching a Blu-ray disc. Wrong Turn is in the running for one of the worst looking discs I've reviewed. It's so close to the DVD (which I do own) that I seriously wonder if this is an upconvert. The Blu-ray disc looks marginally better, but I think that says more about the way the DVD was compressed rather than anything about the BD.
