Very!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Definitely looking forward to Season 2 of ST:TOS...hopefully that means the final season will be out in December!
I'll also be grabbing the "Next Generation" four film set and the new ST movie, as well as Forrest Gump (hopefully with all bonus features carried over)....

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I'm in for the ST:TNG movies, the new one, and Wonderful Life.

I would be surprised if Gladiator doesn't have the original cut. It's Ridley Scott's preferred version, after all.

I'm looking forward to Forrest Gump and It's a Wonderful Life.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I read somewhere else the possible dates for Star Trek TOS Season 3 (or did I read it here somewhere) and the rest of the Star Trek films was end of October-ish.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Outstanding!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Pray this is true - and that it is Region Free...

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

It's A Wonderful Life? Wow. My day just got made. And it's only 1:55 AM.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

From the Rumor Mill that mentioned the Paramount dates, The Digital Bits also said the Trek films from the current box set will be available separately when the new film and Next Generation set arrives.

I think I may wait and pick up some of those when they are available. I don't want all of the films in the current set. And, even though I don't care too much about cover art, I would rather have the theatrical cover artwork instead of what they used in the set. The white background with a crew member's huge face is kinda blah.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Hopefully Paramount is able to put the director's cuts of I & II on the individual releases.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Won't happen this quickly....the individual releases this fall will be the same discs as in the box set....
You won't see the "director's cut" releases until they re-release them a couple years from now....they still have to re-render all the new effects in ST:TMP into HD first....

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Maybe someone here might know how to find out but will the movie Resurrection (1999) with Christopher Lambert the one that is rip off of Se7en but great anyways get a BD release?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Meh. I'll grab escape if its under $10 but the rest...pass.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Def. in for EFLA and 48 Hours, pass on the rest.

K-19? Varsity Blues? Really? WTF, Paramount? Where's Once Upon a Time in the West? Bastards..

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Wow where's the love for Deep Impact? It was the thinking man's Armageddon of 1998.

Regarding OUATITW, I saw this recently on HDnet and it did not look that great. Maybe they're using the transfer which sourced the SCE DVD for the broadcast, but I would think this would need some work for it to shine on BD.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

It wasn't that deep. Not enough to elevate it over the total absurd fun of Armageddon anyway.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Damn, those Paramount catalogue titles suck hard. Maybe The Firm if I can find it for under $10, but zero interest in the others.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Bah - at least it didn't curse us with one of the most insufferable power ballads ever.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Nope- just cursed us with the atrocity of Tea Leoni's acting and a fucking absurd teenage love story instead.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Hey I'll put the cast of Deep Impact against the cast of Armageddon any day.

Hell Duvall and Freeman are enough to make the whole cast of Armageddon look like amateurs.

BTW, I'm not trying to say Deep Impact is a sci-fi classic or even a great film. But using absurd to describe Deep Impact in defense of a movie like Armageddon....well that's a little absurd.

And PS, I would buy Armageddon on Blu. :)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

If you don't want to wait you can import them RIGHT NOW from Amazon.co.uk...

I have all the films on DVD so I just imported the Khan standalone... I believe it was $20-$21 after dollar-to-pound conversion. Probably around what they'll be when they come over here. They're region-free as well. You can bet your bottom dollar that the Next Generation films will also be available separately when released so you can save yourself from the drudgery of Insurrection and Nemesis. heh.

Never will I ever own Star Trek V again on any medium. :)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Either way I'll be picking up Deep Impact and eventually Armeggedon on BD when they are out.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

As for Armageddon and Deep Impact, both movies are dumb. One of them knows it and is hella fun and the other has Frodo.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

That's not how it felt in 1998, but to each their own.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Wallace and Gromit: The Complete Collection is up for pre-order at Amazon (no street date though) and I wonder if its really "complete" - with the most recent short: 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Wow! Loving the price, too!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Sweet! Definite purchase for me.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Oh, my "absurd" comment wasn't in defense of Armageddon at all. Frankly, I don't care for either movie very much. I will definitely agree with you that, on the whole, Deep Impact had a superior cast, talent wise.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I haven't seen Armageddon in a long time so I'll probably enjoy it the next time I do see it. I sometimes feel like DI only has so many viewings left in it for me.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I will rent Rudo & Cursi before determining whether or not a purchase is worth it, I will wait on reviews to see if Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead are good upgrades over the HD DVD's, and I will definitely purchase Grindhouse even though I already own the extended director's cuts on Blu-ray and those were upgrades over the DVD's. I wonder if the new release will be just the theatrical version or if it will include both versions? I'm kinda pissed off about it, really, but I love the film so I won't complain too much.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I never picked up the Death Proof/Planet Terror blu-rays (had the dvd versions) and am pretty psyched that the full GRINDHOUSE experiences is finally coming to blu-ray. Day 1 purchase.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Not sure why Grindhouse is listed because Weinstein has no plans to bring it out on Blu-ray right now. They may have sold off the rights to another studio or its an old listing (DVD coming out, Blu planned, but Blu now dropped). I asked my rep but never got a response.
