Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

Glad to hear about Modern Family, definitely in for that one and Dollhouse. I'll wait and see how the It's Always Sunny discs turn out before I get pumped for that...

In for Dollhouse to go along with season 1.

Will be happy to (sadly) complete my Dollhouse collection....
Might grab Modern Family depending on the price as well!

Surprised to see a sitcom release on Blu-ray. I then remembered it's Fox (and not Sony/Disney even though it airs on ABC) who released a few sitcoms on Blu-ray last year (Earl, How I Met). Glad to see Fox continues to pump them out, even if they abandon other shows (Prison Break, Burn Notice) which fit their demographic more.

I'm in for Dollhouse...but that's probably it.

Not sure about Prison Break, but didn't Burn Notice get horrible reviews for visual quality?

According to release lists, 'Lost in Translation has reportedly been pushed back until later in the year in favor of other Universal titles'.

Are they responsible for the weak "Gladiator" BD or is that Paramount or Dreamworks? Because, I got "Out of Africa" today on BD (a Universal release) and it's one of the worst BD picture qualities I've ever seen.

Damn it. It's one of the last HD-DVDs I need to replace before I can stomach the process of unloading my player.

Bored to Death: Season One -- September 14
$49.99 SRP -- Extras are listed as audio commentary and behind-the-scenes

Source



This got better as the season went on, but I'll likely wait to see if Best Buy as their annual 50% HBO titles sale before Christmas.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

Psycho will screen at Cannes Classics this year.

"PSYCHO (United States, 109’, 1960) by Alfred Hitchcock. Print restored by Universal Pictures and Audionamix. Please note that the film’s soundtrack has been restored/reconstructed."

Sounds good for the upcoming BD.

Sure, whatever Warner...go ahead and release that second part of a trilogy, I am sure the sales will be GREAT with the third and final part remaining unavailable as a standalone release....lately, the inmates really seem to be running the asylum over there....

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

I will pay whatever Mars Attacks! costs on release day. I love it. THX probably under $15 which shouldn't be hard to do.

For those that care, Fox is no longer continuing with How I Met Your Mother on Blu-ray.
