Yeah! Tropic Thunder is a must-buy.

Drexl 09-25-08 10:14 PM

Wow, they have a date for Eagle Eye already - Dec. 26th. (according to that releaselists link)

I'm laughing so hard, m-m-my eyes are rainin'!:)

Damn I was hoping to see Greatest Game Ever Played and Tin Cup on BD, 2 of my favorite golf movies but neither are even listed on the website as a possibility.

"Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary."

Any news on the extra features for Tropic Thunder?

I'm praying we get a Lazarus/Speedman/Portnoy commentary of some sort. Getting Cruise to do his character would be a huge bonus.

Spoiler:
I'd kill to see an "in memoriam" feature on Steve Coogan's character. Suffered a hilarious Deep Blue Sea-like death.

You might get Luzarus, but Les isn't showing up.

Warner UK Line-Up Includes First Four Batman Films
Posted September 29, 2008 12:15 PM by Josh Dreuth

Warner Home Video UK has revealed their Blu-ray line-up for the remainder of the year in the UK. Besides receiving many titles already available in the US, they are also planning on releasing some films which have yet to see Blu-ray release. This includes the first four Batman films - 'Batman', 'Batman Returns', 'Batman Forever', and 'Batman & Robin' - which are all scheduled to be released on December 29th.


Anyone want to take bets how bad the PQ's will be?

bunkaroo 09-30-08 09:48 AM

I've seen Batman and Batman Returns on HBOHD and they looked pretty good to me. For that matter I thought the 2004 looked very nice for DVD. The masters shouldn't be very old at all, so it's just a matter of the encode I think.

The 2-disc special editions all had DTS, too. Suppose we'll get anything more than DD 5.1 on these?

No (don't forget this is Warner's we're talking about)

Well, just remember the poor treatment WB has given the "L.A. Confidential" and "Interview with a Vampire" blu-ray releases.

The real question is it going to be called, 'The Full-Tard edition'?

If this was a WB release, it would.

Gremlins and the Goonies are on my wish list for BD releases here in the states.

Gizmo 09-30-08 11:16 PM

Besides Goonies and Gremlins everything else has been announced/released.

Drexl 09-30-08 11:20 PM

"TBC" in the Domino specs wasn't a typo (TBD or TBA being the usual term). In this case it means "too bad, consumers."
