The Aviator - 5/24/05 Official Specs
I might pick this up as a blind buy. I'm not a big fan of the cover art though.

Ahhh well....no dts. sweet set though! will definitely pick it up
|
I am very happy to see that Warner is handling the DVD and not Miramax. Warner delivers better quality transfers and The Aviator's Oscar-winning cinematography oughtta look great.
|
Can't wait!
|
The cover art is the theatrical poster art. Not too shabby.
|
That's a very nice set of extras. I hope they're as good as they seem.
That cover may be the poster, but my God, it's one hell of a BIG head-shot. |
Not sure I wanna get this. Not a big fan of either Leonardo or Hughes. Not sure if I'd care about the movie, despite the supposedly great flying sequences.
|
I prefer the poster of Leo wearing the aviator shades.
Will still be picking this one up though - sounds excellent. :up: |
Never seen this movie, but have been looking forward to it. I will pick it up as a blind buy.
|
Leos' head is huge on the cover...I guess it's good if you're a Leo lover but I'm not.
SInce Warner is releasing it, I can get it from Columbia House :up: |
probably get this through columbiahouse.
|
THE REAL oscar winner for best picture is finally coming out on DVD.
|
That's a bit disapointing! I was hoping they would include actual footage of Hughes as an extra. I would think there is still plenty of surviving footage out there, I just might wait and cross my fingers that one day they'll do this film justice with proper extras.

straight from the specs: "a fourty-five minute documentary entitled Modern Marvels: Howard Hughes" & "a Role Of Howard Hughes In Aviation History featurette" You really think there's not going to be any actual footage of Huges in these features? |
bought

I swear man! We're getting this kick-ass dvd, and all people want to do is bitch and complain. |
It sounds sweet. When they release it, I'll buy it.

Bring in the milk. :thumbsup:

OMG that cover art SUCKS! They've got to change that.
|
I'm glad to see a great movie get what looks like a very good DVD release (though I still think the Oscars got it right this year.)
Not the best cover art I've ever seen - but as long as the actual content is good... |
