Previous season are coming out as well. Season 11 is likely shooting for October along with the movie (to tie-in with the return of South Park S13 Part II)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
A channel like TBS/TNT is often a mess for any HD movies they show with a lot/most that I seem to stumble upon being modified 4:3 movies that are then stretched to fill the 1.78:1 frame and upconverted.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
Canadian releases will typically (or should) follow previous USA plans setup by the studios. Disney (Beuna Vista/Mirimax) is really letting down US buyers. But yeah, the release for Eternal looks like it might stick (for sometime in June). As it stands, expect a flood of HD DVD ports from Uni starting around the same time. Scale would be an 8. But Universal changes its mind so damn often its hard to peg them for anything that not a direct tie-in (Pitch Black/Riddick, Fast and Furious as an example). Random titles are just that - random. But you noticed Bruce Almighty got announced? Another Jim Carrey flick may appear as well.
Thanks again!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
So then we should "expect" titles like Chasing Amy, Reindeer Games, The Butterfly Effect, and Cold Mountain to get US releases in the nearer rather than the distant future or are some titles more random than others (aside from your already mentioning the Universal issue with changing their minds)?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Apparently, Best Buy's new BD promo shows Walk the Line coming out this November. That is a definite purchase. The soundtrack should be nice in DTS HD.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
I never got around to getting the Criterion DVD version of Do The Right Thing, even though I LOVE that movie. So this blu-ray is a must own, great news.

Dalton in HD!! Woo-hoo! Will probably get this one without shame. Will easily grab To Live and Die in L.A., MASH, and The Graduate when I get the chance.
Do the Right Thing looks like it has all of the Criterion extras, so I'll probably grab that too.

Tower.com has Blade listed for June 2nd. What's surprising is they show a list price of $24.39. I hope that becomes the norm for WB catalogs going forward.
