Did they get Kevin Smith to do a commentary track for Road House?
Hopefully SLIH will be 16x9 this time, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it still won't be.

I can confirm a 2 disc Anamorphic release of "SLIH"
And, yes, "RH" has 2 audio commentaries, one with Rowdy Herrington and the other with Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier.

Hudson Hawk SE!?! One of my favorite guilty pleasures and a disc I certainly never envisioned would get a rerelease. What the hell, if it's even remotely decent, I'll upgrade.

Good to see Some Like It Hot being upgraded. The "special edition" has way too much DVNR and is non-anamorphic. None of this 1.66:1 bullshit... it's actually 1.75:1. MGM didn't have a problem making The Manchurian Candidate 16x9 1.75:1 on its SE.

I don't understand why after merging two of the biggest film libraries, MGM/Columbia releases dwindle down to almost nothing. There's a ton of stuff out there I want on DVD!

I bought Hudson Hawk in the $5.50 dump bin at Wal-Mart. That is all I will ever need of this film.

There is a large enough DVD owning population to make it worth releasing these.
What the DVD market is saturated with is re-releases of re-releases of stuff.
Sony seem to be obsessed with trying to get buyers to shell out for yet another copy just because it's "Collectors" or "special" edition.
Sadly, the advent of HD will make things worse; I can see Sony focussing all their time and money on releasing HD editions of stuff they've already released to death ("great, we can release our fourth copy of something cos we can market it under the HD banner"). Espescially if they get desperate to prop up Blu-Ray should that format start to lose out to HD-DVD.
Warner have the right approach; they realise the importance of the up and coming HD market, but they also realise there is a gigantic market of people who already own a DVD player who will snap up releases of films that have never made it to the home video market at all. I think Warner stated that only about 1700 titles in their archive of over 4000 has seen a VHS/DVD release. There is, as they rightly put it, plenty of life in the DVD market. Tens or hundreds of millions of people who would rather have a DVD of something never before released than an HD of something they already own.
It fills me with sorrow to see Sony sit on their vast, untapped film library while they jerk around with putting out an SE of the film they released last year, and will probably keep right on sitting on that archive next year while they release the HD edition of the SE...
Just why the f!ck did Sony buy Columbia and MGM and then do nothing with the material they bought?
They act like some spoilt selfish rich brat who sits on a hoard that they don't want to share.
