Paramount yesterday.
HD DVD today.
WB sometime this week.

It's been pretty much a "wood" week. ;)

BTW...Rock, PM or email me. I have something for you.

Well it's about damn time...oh you mean Rockstrongo. ;)

Sent pm on avs....what thread did you see the WB news? Any speculation yet on titles? Here are my most anticipated that have been in the works...

Troy
Batman Begins
The Matrix
Harry Potter: GOF
Shawshank Redemption

Rock! My brotha! ;)

Nope. No speculation.

I'd have to sift through but the person is positive one is coming this week.

Haha...I dont always read every post....guess I missed it.

Let me guess. You're often accused of having selective hearing by your GF ;)

Yes, every guy has selective hearing from their girlfriends/wives...something about the tone of the female voice I guess.

Her: "Honey, your buying too many HD-DVDs lately"

Me: "Yeah, sure thing honey...ill stop"

;)

Every? ;)

After the big news about the HD studios backing this big advertising campaign, I'm going to guess that Universal will announce King Kong soon.....I hope. :(

If WB announces a high profile title or two this week, then hopefully Universal will follow that up with an announcement in the near future.

Looks like 12/5 is back as the date for Poseidon HD DVD.

from the Blu-Bits: "The delay is apparently due to Warner's desire to include more advanced interactive features on the HD-DVD version that require additional time to prepare and test"

Bleh...back to suckage for Poseidon...but the other news of the day has made me too happy to be disappointed. Oh well.

This doesnt bode well for V (for those of you who liked it).

Was anyone actually able to find Pitch Black anywhere today? I pre-ordered it at a local MovieStop and they said that it's been pushed back to August 8th.

Picked it up at Best Buy this afternoon, they had at least 4 copies sitting out.

I found Pitch Black easily at Best Buy, but they had no listings whatsoever for Enter The Dragon or Dukes of Hazzard. Since I had pre-ordered Pitch Black and Enter The Dragon from Amazon, I just decided to take the savings and wait instead of paying more for only PB tonight. I ended up getting the third season of Reno 911! on SD DVD instead.

I had to drive to four different stores to find it today, but I found it. The Best Buy that had it only had about three copies.

Well if that's the reason, then I have no problem with it. I rather WB take their time and nail it instead of rushing out an inferior product. But that's just me.

I'd definitely have to agree. Again, if they're developing things that will "hype" HD dvd more and make it successful to be used on other movies that are bigger/better and thus CAN be released day-and-date, I'm all for it.

from videobusiness:

"Warner will release some of its premiere titles on HD DVD in the current third quarter, including Batman Begins and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, senior VP of marketing management Steve Nickerson told VB. Batman Begins had initially been expected earlier this spring."

"But the HD DVD marketing onslaught is intended to ultimately support the all-important holiday shopping period when various hardware models and A-list titles should be available."

Good news all the way around. More hardware options can only be a good thing.

Bring on the A-list!

From AVS:

I've been keeping an eye on DVD Aficionado , Batman Begins has been listed as "Not Announced". I just checked, it now shows a release date of August 29th. Has there been an announcement somewhere that I missed? This site has been fairly reliable for me in the past.

Edit: They now show Aug 29 for Harry Potter 4 too.

Thats been the rumored date for a couple weeks now....Maybe since that WB exec said yesterday they are going to be released in the third quarter, they went ahead and added those dates. They might figure they can always change them.

DVD Aficionado also has the Ultimate Star Trek Collection coming out on November 7.

I wonder how much that bad boy will cost and if they'll choose 2 movies per disc...

Also....they show Braveheart on October 31.

The Star Trek date has been around a while...I dont know why, but I really think that is gonna happen.

Id love to see the MSRP on that bad boy.
