Can't wait for Coming to America. All new HD extras? I think Paramount is quickly becoming the HD king of studios. Now if they would only pick up their release schedule...

Paramount always seems to get more negative comments than they deserve. New Line gets a free pass, even though they have 0 titles announced. Paramount titles have been pretty consistant. I love that they push for those 2-disc sets on day & date titles. Dedicating 1 disc for the movie and 1 for the HD extras. Transformers should be loaded when it's released as well and most certainly has potential to be a top demo.

So maybe we'll finally see 16:9 transfers for Weeds instead of the way LG fucked it up on DVD.
Definitely getting Basic Instinct-glad I waited for the domestic release.
I CANNOT wait for Coming to America and Trading Places....

Is Weeds any good? I've only caught a few minutes on Showtime. At that low a price, it might be worth a blind buy.
Now gimme L.A. Story in HD, Lion's Gate.

I never imported the HD DVD. Same reason. The speed-up.
I am definitely thinking about getting T2, though, if the speed-up isn't there. I'd much rather get that for better quality and spend the extra money.

I also love "Weeds". I have only rented the first season on DVD, but the transfer was so bad I decided not to buy it. I am very happy to see it will be coming out on Blu-ray. Now if only they would do the same thing for Brotherhood, that would be awesome.
