Anaconda? Under Siege? Ugh. This format is quickly becoming the one to dump massive turds on in hopes they will actually sell due to the low amount of other titles available.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
That was not really what I mean. What I meant was now is the best time to drop these massive turds as there are numerous individuals who will eat up anything that comes out in a Blue case even if the film sucks (if you don't believe me check out other Blu-ray-centric websites). If the format becomes the next DVD, will they still continue to buy every release that comes out - even if there are 60-100 a week? Probably not.

Gizmo, you typed out Under Siege, but the title is The Siege with Denzel. I bought that "Martial Law Edition" on dvd when it came out for $10, so I'm passing.

^ The Island is a good movie that looks great in 1080p that isn't available on Blu-ray. Why is buying copies in hopes of trading, weird?

You're right - me. The $8.50 (after shipping) I spent on the HD DVD will net me $20-$30 on eBay or make excellent trade bait.

From Asianblurayguide.com...
Bandai Entertainment has finally announced its long promised US DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of Studio BONES anime Sword of the Stranger (Mukoh Hadan)...well, at least they posted the highly official cover art over at the Anime on DVD forum. There's no release date mentioned, but word is that we can all look forward to June for some high resolution samurai action.

Fucking A! Enough with the SHIT on Blu-Ray already. Just check out the weekly sales charts. NO ONE is buying these.

I looked at every one of those "what's your all-time favorite movie" threads as long as I've been a member here. Nobody else, has ever once, posted BTILC as their favorite movie besides me. Just an observation I've noticed over years. Mostly just showing my lack of taste if anything.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
It must have had some kind of pushed back release. I don't see it listed on Amazon for the Blu-ray edition. Of course, I would expected a date of May 5th, 2009 if pushed back but that's very weird on Amazon's part.

Okay, let's have another update on Paramount's catalog Blu-ray plans for 2009. Our industry sources are now telling us that Fatal Attraction is coming in June from the studio, with the second and third installments of Friday the 13th following in July. Other titles we've recently confirmed are in the works for Blu-ray release this year from Paramount (street date TBA, but they ARE coming) include South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, the Gladiator: Director's Cut and Forrest Gump. And as we've reported in the daily column recently, the Braveheart: Special Collector's Edition is also expected this year from the studio. Those are great titles all, and on behalf of The Bits staff, let me just say to the Blu crew up on the Melrose lot how impressed we all by the number and overall A/V quality of your catalog titles in 1080p. May we put in a good word for Galaxy Quest (eventually), The Peacemaker and Once Upon a Time in the West?
I smell S11 around October.

I'll believe Braveheart when I see it.

Gladiator: Director's Cut? Is this a new cut, or the original? I ask because the extended cut was not Ridley Scott's preferred version.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
May looks to be the most expensive Blu-ray month for me ever. And if June is even back to average, both seasons of Lost bump it way up too. Give me Rounders in July.
Third time I've sold a dvd in expectations of a BD only to have it delayed with no news and no disc. Braveheart, Kingpin, and Rounders.
I'm have a pretty good feeling about Braveheart and Rounders, but I may buy a used Kingpin because that's a title they could easily just forget about for a long while.
