I have T2, but have yet to watch it. Since I'm sitting at home in a cast for the next 10 days I might get around to it, but it will be viewed on a crap 720p projector with no rear surround sound in my bedroom for what it's worth.

I can't confirm this myself, but it's been reported that The Graduate has pitch problems. That would be a real shame considering how important the soundtrack is.

Am I crazy or was there an HD DVD release of "Downfall" or "Der Untergang" from the UK or Germany. I thought I remember seeing it, but now when I surf on Amazon.com UK and Gemany, I can't find it. Does anyone recall this?

Here's hoping that there will not be any further delays... since the French HD DVD release by Studio Canal will be out at retail in France on May 21.

It's a shame because the video transfer is very, very good.

I know that I have asked this before, but is there a site that keeps track of all international HD-DVD releases? I found a couple before, but they all seem to have stopped updating their releases.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the French release of Arizona Dream? I haven't seen this movie but I've heard great things about it and since I don't already own this on DVD I'm a bit more willing to spend the extra dough. Anyone see this yet?

Saw this posted on AVS:
Warner Home Video (France) has announced that separate HD DVD releases for each of the The Matrix Trilogy films, is available to own from October 17 for 24,99 € each. That is to say, if you liked the first Matrix film, you can just buy the the HD DVD release of the first one. Main feature presentation specs and list of bonus materials for the HD DVD release of each film in the series is expected to mirror that of the North American HD DVD release (The Complete Matrix Trilogy HD DVD set). There has been no confirmation if Warner will do the same in North America, where the HD DVDs of all 3 films have been packaged and sold as a single product.
Very, very happy about this. Even if it does cost me $40 for The Matrix.

However, last night I ordered T2 and Fantastic Four from xploited...
