Re: Gremlins ------> September 29th (Target Exclusive)
Watched this tonight, definitely a fun little flick. I hadn't seen it in years and honestly didn't remember much of it.
The Blu-ray is fine and I assume the picture is pretty representative of what the theatrical exhibition was like. Some shots are kind of soft but the print and detail are OK for the most part.
I'd say it's worth a buy, especially if it gets to $15.

It's been mentioned in other threads before, but Target has a 90 day return policy...it quite possibly could be put on sale for less sometime during the next three months...if you just keep an eye out for it, then you could theoretically re-buy it cheaper on sale sometime before the end of the year and return it with your original receipt....

When I did an amazon search for Gremlins it has 3 different listings. Does anyone know if there are different versions of this release, and if so what are the differences?

I'm a slipcover nerd, and it sucks that Target didn't get them. Now I'm mulling buying a copy, keeping the slip and returning the disc. Damn my OCD!

I've had an obsession with slips since they were introduced on DVD.
BTW, What BD player did you get?

Re: Gremlins ------> September 29th (Target Exclusive)
the pioneer bdp-120 for starters, but i think i will give it to my father and upgrade to something bigger soon.
in any case i am really happy having finally made the move! software prices are very good at the moment (sometimes even cheaper than the 2disc version), so it just didn`t make sense to me anymore to spend the same amount of money on a lesser dvd product.
i was just a bit stuborn to already switch now just because some labels were
trying to force it with their release tactics, but it is definitely worth it!
what really pushed me was the fact that i saw transformers and bourne supremacy on tv in hd and realized that even when upscaled my dvds don`t look anything close.
its good for my nerves as well, because now i don`t even have to bitch
about warner`s barebones releases anymore
plus i am even catching myself rebuying some of my favorite titles already, although i had sworn never to double purchase again
guess i am the dream movie studio client

Watching this right now with my 9 and 5 year-old daughters.
The scene when they attack the Fuddermans, my youngest says, "What are they doing?"
"Hanging on that guy's antenna."
"What's an antenna?"
Perfect

How did the 5 year old react to Pheobe Cates "why she hates Christmas" story? One of my biggest pet peeves is when a holiday show states there is no Santa.

I think my favorite is:
"Fire: The Untamed Element, Oldest of Man's Mysteries, Giver of warmth, Destroyer of forests. Right now this building is on fire. Yes! The building is on fire! Leave the building! Enact the Age Old drama of Self-Preservation!

Heh, I don't remember specifically seeing that scene for the first time... I first saw it on tv in the late 80's, maybe it was cut. Got mine (with slipcover) from DVD Empire, looking forward to watching in the next few wks.
