Care to steer me in the direction of this Canadian Blu-ray of Brick? Amazon Canada doesn't have it listed.

I know about the UK Blu-ray release -- which is 1080i25 -- but I haven't heard about a Canadian disc. I'd snap that up in a heartbeat.

I tried several other Canadian retailers and couldn't get a bite.

And region-locked, for that matter. But yeah, I would too.

This is kind of a disappointing anti-release announcement. Didn't know where else to put it.

Rian Johnson just tweeted that he was told that there are no plans for a Blu-Ray release of Brick

To all those doom and gloom for Blu-ray I respectfully disagree. Blu-ray continues to be a very viable format. Just because studios are not pouring out catalogs titles left & right does not reflect a problem with Blu-Ray. Studios right now are keeping titles unreleased simply because of the bad economy. It only makes sense to hold off on some of the catalog titles until the economy picks up so they can get a bigger impact on those releases when people are more flush with cash.

Good luck with waiting for the economy to recover. When is that going to be, 2012? 2013? Whenever BD sales spike enough to no longer blame the 'poor economy'? Or could it just be people don't want to replace that DVD they already double-dipped on with a more expensive BD that may or may not carry over all the Special Features? Retailers may already see that Media sales are slowing and will start shrinking sections (for DVD/BD/CD etc.)

Don't worry, Indy Trilogy in 2011! The poor economy stalled it from 2008...and 2009...and now 2010.

Releaselists says Sopranos Season 2 is looking like October.

"Santa Claus the Movie" a "Christmas Classic"? Since when!?

Blu-ray is way bigger than LaserDisc ever was. It won't ever overtake DVD, but it will continue to carve out a nice niche over the next 3 - 5 years...

I can remeber the early days of DVD when people questioned the benefit of anamorphic widescreen. Very few WS HDTVs were out there. However the inherent benefit of solid media vs. tape was apparent. Just simply not having to rewind was enough of a benefit to propel DVD. Blu-ray doesn't have a revolutionary benefit over DVD just an evolutionary one.

Highlander on November 2nd

It's a different time. Laserdisc was not widely available at retail stores (nor was VHS or to even an extent, DVD until 2002ish). It would be like comparing the amount of people who owned cell phones in 1998 to 2010.

IGN posted that the entire series of Deadwood will be coming on November 23. The MSRP will be 209.98. I might be down when this is under a hundred.

10/12 - MAGIC (1978) (dark sky films)

Daytripper

What a random blast from the past title. Creepy film. Hope it holds up. And they do a decent job on the transfer.

10/5 - mad max

GenPion

Great news! My patience has (hopefully) paid off. I got The Road Runner on HD DVD for $3 but have never seen the film (even now) as I still need to see Mad Max too. Now I can get this and experience them both in High Definition. It should be a fun evening.

EDIT: Road Warrior...

I was coming in to post the same thing!

A slew of re-releases are coming out way in the next month or two. All will be the BD + DVD deal as the studios try to ween retailers from carrying stand alone DVDs and stocking more BDs. Disney has a bunch coming out, as does Universal.

Mr. Cinema

The BD/DVD combo packs are likely the studios' last effort and sales pitch to get people to upgrade to BD. It made sense on new titles, but the fact that we're seeing them on alot more catalogs tells you their grand plan of total BD domination is going to fall way short.

If this new strategy doesn't pull in a bunch more new owners, I don't see BD reaching past 50% user base. I think as the years go on, it'll just be a mix of DVD, BD, and digital all owning a piece of the pie.

Just look at the hardware and newer tvs. Everything is offering up a streaming option. I think alot of people will be satisfied to rent via Redbox, stream/download rental, and buy the occasional big new release on a disc format.
