I'll take Night of the Comet on blu.

I've heard that an HD version has been playing on TV, but I have not caught it. I've also read that the director & actors have expressed that they are more than willing to participate in supplements.

Thanks.

My most wanted

-Back To The Future

-Teen Wolf
-Bubba Ho-tep

Ah like ET! :clap: Everyone knows FBI agents don't carry guns.

In an effort to make the films more politically correct, the kids are being CGI'd so that one is now African American the other Asian. Jeff Goldblum's character Ian Malcolm is now named Jeff Goldblumsteinberg so everyone knows he's Jewish. Instead of guns, the guards carry large butterfly nets. Instead of running away, they now try to reason with the dinosaurs and tell them they understand why they are angry and that it's society's fault. Because the only obese person was Dennis Nedry was portrayed negatively, they now have a disclaimer at the beginning apologizing for any hurt feelings and letting people know that fat people have no more chance of getting eaten by dinosaurs than skinny people. Dr's Grant and Sattler are happily married and not living in sin anymore. The dinosaurs now speak in English like Land Before Time so that people can empathize with them more. Tia Leone turns around full frontal when she takes her shirt off in PIII. (OK so I made that one up)

OK back to the real purpose of the thread:

JP films are day 1 purchases for me.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
M. Night Shyamalan's The Village is my most wanted Blu-ray at the moment. Still no announcement. :(

I also can't believe James Cameron's The Abyss and True Lies haven't been put on on Blu-ray. Neither of those even got anamorphic DVD's. What gives?

True Lies - when it was released it was supposed to be an SE and ended up being a bare-bones non-anamorphic POS. Then a 5 star version was promised the following year and never showed up. After 9/11 all talk of doing anything with the movie including sequels disappeared.

One of my most wanted simply because it's a great flick that has never gotten a decent release.

frumaster 09-16-09 03:16 PM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
I would seriously murder for these-

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
Once Upon a Time in the West
the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood trilogy (packaged in 1 set)

The Abyss apparently has an HD master that has been waiting for Cameron's approval. I guess when he's finished with Avatar he'll take a look at it. So, it's possible it could come out next year if he's satisfied.

With Heat and Léon announced, I think I'm out of a real wish list.

I'll have to look through my DVDs to see if there's anything I can come up with though.

The UK version is not locked. And the PQ is outstanding. What are you waiting for?

I would love to see the Addams Family movies on blu-ray next year, complete with deleted scenes, etc. (because the trailers show parts that weren't in the movies). I'm not holding my breath, though.

Lossless audio...the UK disc only has a plain DD track...
At least, that is why I am waiting for a US version.....can't speak for the other guy... :)

Any word on an Evil Dead Blu Ray from Anchor Bay/Starz?
 
With part 2 and AOD on blu now, I was wondering if anyone has heard of anything about a BD release of the original Evil Dead?

Rammsteinfan 10-14-09 06:30 PM

Re: Any word on an Evil Dead Blu Ray from Anchor Bay/Starz?
 
No WITHIN THE WOODS = No Sale!

Im sure it will be coming within the year. They cant help but dip again on yet another release for this film. Im sure when it hits BD it will just be the first of many in the coming years ;) Surprised ED2 hasnt had a second release yet.

I thought they released the Ultimate Edition because they were losing the rights.

No idea. I just assume, naturally, that we will see it hit Blu-ray next year.

Maybe they did... I was just watching it today and was wondering why we hadn't heard anything about it yet.

Will the Commando director's cut ever happen? I'd rather buy it on BD than standard DVD.
