I tried so hard to listen to the Batman commentary but I could not finish it.

How prophetic..

Any news on an HD/Blu release?

Since it is a WB title, I would hope to see a Blu-ray release - especially after waiting so long for this title! Doubt they'll release it HD-DVD, but if it drops before May, who can say?

Really? That one was actually good and informative, where he spoke for most of the film. The Edward Scissorhands track, on the other hand....

Ya makes sense....i'd love to have this in my Blu-Ray collection.

I would be more than happy to buy this on blu-ray, but speaking of Warner Bros I am still wondering where's the new LA confidential release.

and the new cool hand luke...

...and countless titles for Blu-ray (e.g.: Batman, Batman Returns, True Romance, The Lost Boys, JFK, Natural Born Killers, etc.).

I'm sure we'll see a blu-ray release of "The Lost Boys" and "The Goonies" when there respective direct-to-dvd sequel's come out later in the year...

So this thread has been bumped and there are posts about a High-def release and Batman commentary.

Er, erm, what about any news any DVD release of Beetlejuice?

Bump. No news?

Any news on the beetlejuice cartoons?

Man, this is the second time that a thread that has been gone for a while has popped back up and it's nothing but people asking about the status of it. STOP IT!

Finally...a definitive version of Beetlejuice! Classic film from a classic director.

And your source is...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say his source is "not actually reading the thread".

Here it is folks- the most unspecial special edition since Poltergeist, courtesy of DVD Times:
"Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Beetlejuice (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) on 16th September 2008 priced at $19.96 SRP. The colourful, wildly imaginative family adventure from Tim Burton starring Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Winona Ryder returns to DVD, newly remastered and packaged in a lenticular o-sleeve. Extras are somewhat limited however with only three Beetlejuice cartoons from the TV series which was produced by Burton and David Geffen.
Beetlejuice Cartoon Episodes:
* A-Ha
* Skeletons In The Closet
* Spooky Boo-tique"

I'll wait for the Blu-ray.

Wow, how Deluxe. Waiting 10 years or so for a good edition and this is what we get?


The only reason I would buy this is to finally get rid of the Snapper version.

For as long as it's taken them, you'd think they'd at least have a featurette with cast interviews.

"Deluxe" apparently has a whole new meaning these days. At least with this release, one does get a lenticular o-sleeve.

Since I got a custom cover for my snapper I'll pass on this. How amazingly pathetic that THIS was the best WB could do. Not much of a surprise after Poltergeist, though.

There IS one on that day, with bonus soundtrack sampler CD.

Guys, the DVD isn't being released until September and right now, it's only May.

I wouldn't be surprised if more bonus features were added in between now and then, such as the features from the original DVD (one can hope, because that 5.1 music only track was pretty damn awesome).
