Re: Armageddon May 4th!
I always assumed they needed oxygen for their explosions just like a fire does....anyway, this interested me so I found an answer that should quiet this debate:

Disappointed with the lack of extras, but if it's cheap enough on release day I'll get it for sure. I'll just keep my Criterion DVD.

It's good to see that they got the transfer right. It's really *mind-boggling* to me that this title never got a proper DVD release! You'd think it was the "Original" Original Star Wars Trilogy or something ...

Could anyone quickly summarize the differences between this cut and the Criterion "Exclusive Director's Cut"? The runtime difference is about 2 minutes, I believe.

He seemed a little less "whelmed", meaning he was not over-whelmed with the quality, just whelmed with it. 
The shots did look a little soft but since the prior version were non-anamorphic the purchase is a no brainer until a better remastered SE comes along. I saw several of the extras from the Criterion before I got rid of it so I don't need any extras however I did hear the cast commentary was pretty funny.

even with lossy sound the DTS laserdisc features an amazing extremely aggressive soundmix, if the Bluray can mirror/supercede it, I'll be surprised.

no slipcase for this or Tombstone. Costco had them out early today. All the artwork covers I saw for Armageddon were either torn at the top or they were wrinkled. I hope my copy from Amazon arrives with a good cover.
