Ehhhh. Definitely a movie where the standard DVD is all I'd ever need.
I'm sure it will make some people happy though. |
From Blu-Ray.com:

Looks like Columbia finally replied to his emails.

Ahh just in time for my annual viewing!

I imagine that it is a picture in picture commentary with Stephen Tobolowsky, who was Ned Ryerson in the film.

I love this movie, but I may wait for a sale.

I only hope Sony opts to use something other than the soul-crushingly, eye-breakingly, brain-rapingly bad artwork they plopped onto the last DVD.

Anybody else pick this up today? I can not locate this special feature anywhere on the disc, and some reviews i've read do nothing to help. It's not listed in the special features menu.

Re: Groundhog Day Blu-Ray ----> 1/27/2009
How is the video and audio? I'm thinking about picking this up for 20 if I can make it out today (and find a copy).

I'll give this a rent. Now where on Earth is 12:01? :grumble:

Re: Groundhog Day Blu-Ray ----> 1/27/2009
Went ahead and picked it up just awhile ago. If I can get it within the next month in a B1G1F then I'll just return it. Haven't had a chance to check out the quality yet. Hopefully we will see more Bill Murray comedies like Stripes, Caddyshack, and Kingpin (although he isn't the main character) released sooner than later.

Wait - what player do you have? That track is Profile 1.1 so if you have a Profile 1.0 it won't even show up.
That probably explains it... |

Yep, that is why. Profile 1.0.

Interesting that they use that approach. I think it'd be better if the feature were listed, but when clicked it would say that the particular blu-ray player being used doesn't support the feature.

I think its better just to make it invisible that way it may not piss you off as much knowing what you are missing by having older hardware.

I wouldn't have minded as much if they let me know before I bought it. |

The back cover does not mentioned that you need Profile 1.1 to use this special feature. Sony is in the wrong here for advertising special features that not everybody can access.

Usually there is a * and size 2 font saying you need a 1.1 to play certain features. Time to get a new player if you want to experience Blu-ray 100%.
Out of 50+ titles, this is the first feature I found out I can't access (aside from BD Live, which I would never use anyways). Hope this isn't the norm, because that's like giving early adaptors a swift kick in the balls. |
Re: Groundhog Day Blu-Ray ----> 1/27/2009
I was actually impressed, or at least surprised by the effort on the Needle-Nose track.
I just expected a little PIP box with carved up featurettes a la Young Frankenstein or The Dark Knight, but they actually got Stephen Tobolowsky to come in do a whole green screen bit. |
Re: Groundhog Day Blu-Ray ----> 1/27/2009
Cool, I may actually buy this at some point...
