Huh, not really following you. That would be perfect time for people with gift card money. People are most likely to spend all their gift cards within the first month after Christmas and this release date is a couple of weeks after Christmas so I see no issue there.

Also on January 6, The Wackness, the other great stoner film of 2008, hits Blu-ray. If you didn't see this, do yourself a favor and see it as soon as it streets. IMO one of the most underrated, overlooked films of the decade, one that has every right to a handful of awards or nominations but will probably go unnoticed this year.

Jeff Kleist of the Digital Bits posted on blu-ray.com the other day that the Bourne Trilogy will not be released this year. And he thinks the earliest we'll see that set is Christmas '09, but they may hold it until the 4th film is released.

That along with the Adam Sandler collection have been pushed back to next year. The only Universal catalog titles left is Jarhead, The Kingdom and Fearless. That leaves two other titles still in limbo.

I'm hoping King Kong will still make an appearance, but I would say we won't get it until sometime in '09.

Edit: And yeah, 8 Mile got pushed to next year. Universal went the entire year with not releasing a new catalog title on Blu-ray.

No offense but having been on the losing side of the format war, the only satisfaction I have is that I already have a bunch of movies not out on Blu. Don't get me wrong, this is not about being vindictive, this is about having so many movies I want on Blu that if I already have them on HD it does me no good so I'd rather see the resources going toward totally new releases.

I happen to own all three Bourne flicks in HD-DVD, but that doesn't mean I'd rather have Universal release three other films in Blu instead. I realize that, um, there are people out there who DON'T own these in 1080p.. and they have as much a right to own them as I do.
Yes, it'd be great for Universal to release their entire catalog by New Year's Day, but it isn't going to happen. I understand they need to play catch-up for the people who didn't want to spend $50 on, what is now essentially, a paperweight.

No different than the guy who likes 1980's European cinema to prefer those are released before recent blockbusters.

Whatever happened to stuff like Charlie Wilson's War and In Bruges? I know the latter has a foreign release upcoming, but has there ever been mention of going back to the titles missed during Universal's hiatus?

I just hope that when they get to Bourne, they will have stopped degrading their titles with DNR and retrofitting features as U-Control.
