There's really nothing between the largest HDTVs and projector screens. Is anyone watching on a 76" screen? Not really.

Yep I am currently watching on a 74" image from a front projection which fits perfectly between my two bookshelves. (At least until I get of my ass and get a proper 2.35:1 screen setup which will be much bigger.

DVD Beaver comparison of Repulsion. That Koch disc might have the worst transfer of any film ever released on DVD, not to mention one of the worst covers!

BD screenshots of Repulsion look fantastic! Can't wait until the end of the month.

And sure to draw criticism, the October BD titles list prices ($49.95) are now $10 more than the SD titles.

I emailed the Criterion guy (can't remember his name, but he's the one that gets interviewed for mag articles, etc) and asked if they had any plans to release 8 1/2 or Amarcord, or any other Fellini titles, on Blu, and he reponded that there were no plans at this time to release them on Blu (this was about 2 months ago).
It seems like they're releasing a couple really specific film-geek-type titles, but I would think that some of the bigger sellers for them would be the films, like Fellini's, that have a wider and more well-known appeal. Yknow?

Has anyone's order for Repulsion through Amazon gone to "shipping soon" status? I just ordered a few minutes ago. Most of their pre-orders ship on Monday. Mine still gives me the option to cancel. Usually, if the status doesn't go to "shipping soon" after several minutes, there's a good chance the title won't ship out that day.

is B&N gonna have the 'Repulsion' disc in store, with the discounted 50% price - the reason I ask, because it's not available online.

Just do a search for the "Repulsion" blu-ray under 'All Products' and you'll find it. For some reason, doing the search for it using 'DVD - Title' sub-search only yields the older disc.
Here ya go... Repulsion.
Being a non-member, I was able to pre-order it with a final shipped price of $18.29.

Too excited for Repulsion on Blu-Ray tomorrow 
Going to stop by my local B&N around 11am to hopefully get a copy for 50% off.
