Flash Gordon [1980] Blu-Ray specs?
It's coming out in June but I haven't seen any specs on it. Does anyone know if the extras are basically a port from the "Saviour of the Universe" edition or will there be more?

Is anyone else tired of getting Blu-rays of catalog titles that just port over the DVD features? Blu-ray offers the ability to do so much more than present the movie in HD, but studios don't seem to care - and then wonder why the format hasn't taken off more than it has (the main reason people went from VHS to DVD wasn't just because of the better picture, but because of all the bonuses/interactivity). Alas, I'm preaching to the choir here.

While I would obviously prefer (if given a choice) for some new extras to be created and added, if a studio is not going to do that then I applaud the ones that do at least carry over the existing material....
It is the ones that can't even bother to do that which make me
...yes, sometimes there may be rights issues (work them out people!), or even space issues (back in the early days of bulky MPEG-2 transfers and single layer BD-25 discs), but porting the stuff that's already there for the using should be a no brainer in my book....

Blu-ray.com's review. Too bad the serial episode isn't in HD as well.

Never bought the DVD release, so I'll probably pick this up.
