I know this is mentioned in the release thread, but these films deserve their own thread for discussion. HD Digest makes no mention of Full Metal Jacket, but the inclusions of TrueHD tracks is a nice surprise.

Since I've got my eye on Clockwork, EWS, Shining and, of course, 2001, I'll be biting the bullet on whatever imminent boxset they toss in my direction.
Huh. WB is getting a crapload of money out of me these next two quarters.

Sounds awesome. And although I haven't seen it stated, I do hope these are in widescreen format. I'm sure Kubrick would have loved to be able to show them in HD when they first hit video. I'd gladly get all of them, although I do wonder if Full Metal Jacket will be upgraded and I may decide to import Eyes Wide Shut.

2001 definitely will be since it was not one of his movies supposedly meant to be full screen. However, with Full Metal Jacket already released as widescreen I think its a safe bet the rest will be as well.

What about suppliments!?
Thats what I'm screaming - give me some of those behind the scenes shots with Kubrick home video during The Shining.
Cast and crew interviews...
Why not a reunion with a couple cast members.

Oh, I wasn't aware of the specific titles that had the AR issues (not a huge fan of these and I only have the white covered DVD's from the original Collection). I just happened to see the specs posted on those two discs. When DVDEmpire gets up the specs on those two you mentioned I'l post them.

I ordered the BD versions since they will probably be the same as HD-DVD. If HD has IME or anything extra, ill cancel and reorder the HD versions.
Cant wait for these! Especially the Shining and 2001!
