Its nice to know we are still excited by dvd when we get down to initial releases of such classics as Ice Pirates and Yor.

The original King Kong is #1 on my list at this point, but count me in on Ice Pirates. I really wonder how I'll view it since the last time I saw it I couldn't even drive a car (long time ago).

Great! I've been wanting to see Ice Pirates again for a long time. In fact, most of the semi-decent B-Films of the 80's haven't come out. Yor & Megaforce are two. Much better than Deathstalker & Barbarian Queen which have been out forever. Is there a list of B-Films not yet released somewhere? Or even a good list of what has been?

Just FYI. I know the movie is called Ice Pirates, but chose to say Space Herpes for the fans. My fault. Anyhoo, I just couldn't find it.

erm, hopefully MGM has learned their lesson by now. I was under the impression that most of those cases were just open mattes vs. matted for widescreen anyway... that's what thedigitalbits reported if I remember correctly.

There was never anything wrong with MGM's DVDs themselves. It's just some misleading text on the packaging that got uneducated consumers' panties in a bunch.

I looked for it, but I didn't find it. I'm going to look for it again this weekend.

Yeah, couldn't find it either... but only checked a couple places. I'm sure it'll show up by the weekend.
