Road House - 6/2/09

I had no idea this was coming to Blu-ray!

Anyone know if all the bonus features carry over from the last DVD?

I think it was Gizmo who posted that it's a two disc set -- the Blu-ray is pretty much bare-bones, and the extras (including the commentaries!) are on a DVD that's packaged with it. If I'm interpreting what was said correctly, the only way to listen to the commentaries is in standard def.

Now that's just stupid. I want to hear Kevin Smith while watching the movie in 1080p.

Guess I'll just hold onto my DVD until I find this super cheap.

I wonder if they just produced it a while back when Fox was in their "no extras for you!" mode, so they decided to include the DVD to make up for that.

Roadhouse will be specially priced at: $15.99 on Amazon, which is considered "super cheap" for a Blu-ray catalog title.

I know, but even that is too much. I've already bought this movie twice on DVD. I can wait until its found at Costco for $12.99.

I wonder if it'll be like The Graduate, which obviously had an old master. I read it's a single layer MPEG-2 with the Anniversary Edition DVD as disc 2.

Re: Road House - 6/2/09

They're including a DVD so you can get the bonus features? WTF? Big time pass. I refuse to support tactics such as this.

Well it won't be the last... MGM has a handful of them planned for this year (Childs Play is a recent addition) as well as some not yet announced. If they want to include the DVD inside....fine. But don't include a barebones BD where if you want to watch the special features (or listen to the commentary track) you have to watch the DVD. Stupid, stupid tactic.

So, you're saying Misery and Hannibal and Child's Play are going to be the same crap? For whatever reason, it would be somehow less stupid if they just didn't include the DVD and just put out more lame barebones BDs like Carrie. Then I wouldn't feel like I was tricked or something.

Re: Road House - 6/2/09

I just got this in the mail today, sure the bluray looks and sounds great, but there is no features on it except for the Theatrical trailer, with the dvd including all of the DE extras. And for the best part of all, its Fox's first bluray ecopackaging. I thought blurays wouldn't have to deal with this shitty packaging since its a smaller case, I am pissed.

If you are talking about the Blu cases with the cutouts in them (for the ecopacking), then no, this is NOT Fox's first title with it.....other MGM titles such as Silence Of The Lambs, and the "second wave" of James Bond titles also have this packaging, as do Fox titles like Big.....
