Anything that even slightly increases the chances of a blu-ray version of Sin City is good news to me.

I don't have digital cable or satellite, so a question for those who do. How have the high def versions of Sin City looked so far?

Before they vanished from the format, Weinstein's HD DVD releases were pretty solid. The Matador looks great.

Sin City still belongs to Miramax/Disney. The Weinsteins didn't get that in the separation. However, they will distribute the upcoming Sin City 2.

Would also love for Magnolia Films to start releasing more Blu-rays.

...as does Black Christmas (2006). Not that it matters much, but I wonder if the titles that Weinstein released on HD DVD will be released on Blu-ray, or if they will concentrate on titles that didn't make it to HD DVD?
