So now you play the Fox version of Russian Roulette - will it come out? Which Schwarzenneger movie won't be given a special edition ala True Lies? Isn't it fun to ask the same questions 6 years later?

I want "The Running Man" personally.

Ahh for me I like it just as much as an adult as I did as a kid. It's especially entertaining now considering we seem to be moving closer and closer to having shows very similar to the Running Man for real. |

I wonder how many more titles were close to being released when they canceled all of them last year? I hope Silence of the Lambs wasn't one of them.

Thanks for the info pro-b. Predator should be great in hi-def but I am puzzled yet again as to why Fox is holding out the special features again. I have no problem with their transfers or their audio but the fact that they are holding out extras is starting to get annoying.

I hope they at least keep the commentary and trivia track on there, so that those with the SE DVD can create their own new SE. It sucks when the commentary track is dropped, since then you can't listen to the commentary and watch the movie in HD (without some work).

Thankfully there are no cliffs around here. |

High list with frequent BOGO's, or lower list with no BOGO's? Or they could follow Sony's lead and do both. :) |

I could probably deal with $40 catalog titles if they loaded them with features or I could deal with no extras if the titles were priced accordingly. However, this fuck the consumer stance is not working for me. I simply don't buy Fox releases unless I find them dirt cheap used at EB for a B2G2 free and that only happened once. |
