Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

I was listening to the new Smodcast on Kevin Smith's website ( www.viewaskew.com), and he mentions that Clerks and Chasing Amy are coming to Blu-Ray. He doesn't specify release dates, but he does say that they are working on a new documentary for Chasing Amy.

I don't think Clerks would benefit much from BR treatment. Plus I don't know if I really want to rebuy any of his movies on BR, except maybe J&SBSB.

Chasing Amy comes out next week in Canada on Blu-ray (sans extras). I'll be picking that up because I have no intentions of waiting for Smith to get around to it. Will be nice though to have all of his films in HD (including Mallrats o HD DVD)

Love clerks but will pass. Chasing Amy will definitely be a buy for me. Best film he did IMO.

Stand by to get flamed!

Chasing Amy will be a day one purchase for me and I will keep my Criterion copy of the DVD.

I have Clerks and Clerks X, am a KS fanboy, but will only pick up Clerks in the bargain bin to complete my collection.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Relative to other films, no, I doubt Clerks will be any kind of revelation on BD, however there will still be a slight benefit as 16mm (which the film was shot on) does offer a higher resolution than the 480p of standard DVD....and gosh darn it, I want my graininess crystal clear! ;)
I just hope they port over all the features from the "Clerks X" release....

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

For the record... Chasing Amy was also shot on 16mm (Super 16) to save budget.

I will probably pick up the Blu-ray as a girl I dated totally stole my Criterion CA DVD.

I wonder if Criterion will be handling the release? Or perhaps Weinstein or Disney? Who knows.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

It will likely be Disney.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Please let us know if it's 1080i or 1080p.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Yes, very true, though it was done in color with better cameras, better film stock, and actual professional lighting and studio backing (not just a bunch of guys filming after hours in a quickie-mart in comparison)....

My point being that I have a feeling the Chasing Amy BD will be a greater improvement over the DVD in comparison to the amount of improvement we will see in the Clerks BD compared to the Clerks X DVD...

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Its 1080p according to someone who has it in hand.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

+1 on both counts.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Never liked Chasing Amy. It all went downhill after the great Darth Vader/ROTJ rant. I have fond memories of Clerks so I may pick that up if I find it on sale.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Clerks definitely... no need for Chasing Amy until it hits bargain-bin prices.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

I still have the old Mirimax non-anamorphic edition of Clerks, never got the Clerks X set, so I'll buy it on BD just to get all of the extras.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Why did you leave your hands uncovered? :confused: How will you watch porn if they get fried? -ohbfrank-

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

I already have Clerks X so I don't think I care to upgrade. Might get Chasing Amy based on the picture quality.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

I will definitely pick these both up. Both films are worth the High Definition treatment and will be purchases for me! I am so glad to hear they are working on Clerks as that is one that I have really wanted to see as a release on Blu-ray.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

Do you feel that source is reliable?

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

I'm in for both, extras or no.

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

It most certainly will be since Criterion declined a second dip on the title last year. I believe that the additional extras are already done.

Good point. :doh:

Re: Clerks and Chasing Amy coming to Blu-Ray ( according to Kevin Smith )
 

I find this funny to hear after I just read this interview the other day where he said Clerks on BD would be a big waste of time lol
