This will be a definite buy for me as well. Too bad that I'll have to hold onto the Criterion for the extras. |

No word on when Magnolia Home Entertainment's previously announced titles will make it to HD DVD, but HDNet has a few new titles on their website. No release date yet, but the sticker price is $14.95 (!).
They are: Best of Get Out!: Vol. 1 Best of Get Out!: Vol. 2 Best of HDNet World Report: Vol. 1 Best of HDNet World Report: Vol. 2 |
There is some debate over what we're getting with Lethal Weapon: director's cut or theatrical cut. The box says 110 minutes (which means Theatrical) but the website says director's. The box also says "additional scenes" which leads me to believe it IS the theatrical cut.
Here's my problem with this: if it is the theatrical cut, does that mean they're using the original master from the first DVD release in 97 and just adding the additional scenes from the original LW4 DVD? This is shitty, if so. edit: it's confirmed. It's the theatrical cut. And supposedly the transfer ain't so hot. |

after seeing 'Blazing Saddles' on my friends home theatre setup - I'm dying to see some more rich colourful transfers/films like 'Saddles' |

I'll just keep my director's cut of Lethal Weapon and skip the HD DVD. It would be nice if WB didn't slack on some of these releases. Using old transfers is just freakin' lazy.
|
I've been holding off and renting the older catalog titles for now, because I know they are prime candidates to be revisited and remastered down the road. I think, for example, the Kubrick remasters and Superman set later this year are being done with HD in mind, so those transfers should be spectacular.

Blazing Saddles is one of my favorites so far. It shows how good old movies can look as much as Full Metal Jacket shows how bad old movies can look. I skipped Fugitive after reading the review here and will probably skip Lethal Weapon as well.

It just befuddles me, that Warners would release these titles and these transfers so early on... from what I've been told the HDNet Movie HiDef edition of The Road Warrior is amazing... why not just release films that look great and not just any back catalogue title that could benefit from more time of a new HD transfer? |
Here's my question: why hasn't anyone questioned WB about this? Someone should seriously bring them to task.

Was Unforgiven a new transfer? Because I heard good things about that one.
|
It doesn't have the same sparkle as some of the really new transfers, but Unforgiven still looks awfully nice.
