Now this definitely has to be a "pick-a-title-from-the-hat" release. Short Circuit: The Number Five Edition.

Well, that settles it: I'm going dual-format.

I'd like to advise Image to go with the minimum quantity needed for a pressing to Blu-Ray, and the make some room in a warehouse that they can afford to have occupied for a while.

Supermallet 02-27-08 02:44 PM

Short Circuit on Blu-ray! Yessss. This will feed my autonomous robot cravings until Wall-E comes out.

Nice! About time we got some Guttenberg in HD. ;)

And considering the DVD is non-anamorphic, that alone makes it worth the upgrade.

My Guttenberg in HD vote would go to Boys From Brazil, also non-anamorphic

I like the list price, and I hope Image starts putting out more titles. Cheesy 80's schlock, I'm in.

Just got word from Paramount. The following HD DVDs have OFFICIALLY been cancelled:

The Jack Ryan Collection
Sweeney Todd
The Kite Runner

We were told that official info about There Will Be Blood and Bee Movie will be coming soon...not sure if that's good news or bad.

Jericho 02-28-08 01:30 PM

Oh Jack Ryan Collection, will you ever be released? Third time I have pre-ordered it, only to have it cancelled. Two different formats too.

What a bunch of crap. It's amazing to me that Warner Bros. is still committed to releasing on HD DVD through May, while a previously HD DVD exclusive studio like Paramount just flips it off like a light switch.

True_Story1011 02-28-08 01:52 PM

I think we all knew it was going to happen, I just thought that they would've waited until after the release of Sweeney Todd to kill their HD DVD programs.

QuePaso 02-28-08 02:19 PM

*greedily awaits them all on blu-ray*

Gizmo 02-28-08 02:27 PM

Better get Todd on Blu....
