Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
The point of the reply was just to give my opinion and converse, the point of every post here pretty much. To me, it seems very valid to mention that they are the same movie if someone mentions liking one over the other. 
Ratings/opinions seem pretty even on the two from my limited research of IMDB and RT, with perhaps a slight preference for the original, fwiw.

Yes, but I merely stated an observation that many consider the sequel better. I did not even share my own opinion or reveal my preference for the sequel, which, despite some similarities, in my opinion, is not the same movie. I find it interesting that you chose to skip over the post right after mine and dissect my observation. I would hope that my point isn't considered less valid or dumbfounded because I'm new to the forum. That would be a shame.
First, my initial comment wasn't 'anti' your post at all. I was simply making an observation and your post seemed like a good starting point to get my point in the mix.
Second, I don't even look at who I'm replying to when I quote a post. You could have been a mod or the site founder or an old post of my own for all I knew.
Third, I don't think there was a post after your post when I first hit the quote button, which could have been hours before I eventually sent my reply. I'm a multi-tab user that opens and starts multiple posts.
Fourth, 'dissect your observation'? Are you serious? It was a quick little opinion thrown into the mix, quoting a specific post just to add overall context, but not directed at you specifically. And even if it was directed at you, it wasn't negative in any way.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Seriously Anchor Bay? They can't include all previous features from the Book of the Dead and Ultimate Edition? I will buy it because I love Evil Dead and am a sucker for Bruce Campbell commentaries but why aren't the Ladies of the Evil Dead Material,Bruce's Fan Documentary,and old Commentaries on this? Surely everything would be able to fit on 2 Blu-Ray discs? I guess next year there will be a 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray,its sad that has a very big possibility of being true

Specs from bluray.com:
So, both aspect ratios included, which is good. But the recycled special features are on a regular DVD, which is bad. Limited edition DVD my ass.
The BD will include not one, but two new HD transfers (one in 1.85:1 and the other in the original, director-composed 1.33:1), personally supervised by Raimi, accompanied by a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio track.
Most of the bonus features, released on previous DVD editions, will once again be available on a special, limited edition DVD included with the Blu-ray.
Special features include:
* On the Blu-ray:
o All-new audio commentary with writer/director Sam Raimi, producer Robert Tapert and star Bruce Campbell
* On the special-features DVD:
o One By One We Will Take You: The Untold Saga of The Evil Dead
o The Evil Dead: Treasures from the Cutting Room Floor
o The Ladies Of The Evil Dead Meet Bruce Campbell
o Book of The Dead: The Other Pages
o Discovering The Evil Dead
o Unconventional
o At The Drive-In

Well, there is the new audio commentary. So it's not 100% recycled. But honestly, for the life of me, they have more to say? They've done like 2 commentaries already.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Out of all the releases of the Evil Dead films I've bought only one of each copy which I still own. I have the Book of the Dead Edition Evil Dead, the Limited Tin for Evil Dead 2, and the numbered Director's cut for Army of Darkness. I may buy this one, but I still like all the editions I currently have- and I don't like having more than one copy of a movie if I can help it.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Since it dropped in price to $17.49 on Amazon, I went ahead and pre-ordered it. But the Special Features are on the included DVD? Fuck these studios are getting some cheap and lazy.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I think that is fine. Look at it this way: Most of the extras are old and were recorded in SD, so why bother putting them on the feature disc? It is possible that the feature will look better with lower compression. The two alternatives are (a) put the SD extras on the feature disc, which could lead to higher compression rates, or (b), but the SD extras on a second BD, which is just wasteful.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Because Blu-ray has 50GB Discs and 2GB of SD extras could certainly fit on it. It comes down to the studios being to cheap to spring for a BD50 (most likely this release is a BD25 - and they could still fit 2GB of extras on) or too lazy to re-encode with a menu. Might just cancel and wait till this hits $10. Tired of rewarding studios with sales for a lazy job.
