Been waiting forever for High Plains Drifter on blu. That's the one i'm getting. Already put it down on my schedule. I hope that they make it very good. Just checked out your links. 5.1 for High Plains Drifter, i'm all over this one.

I'm definetly in for Slap Shot. I loved Weird Science as a kid, and probably watched it a zillion times on HBO in the 80's, but it is one of the few John Hughes movies that did not age well. Although Chet is still one of the greatest characters from that era!

Weird Science for me. I saw it a couple of years ago (saw it a dozen times in the 80's too) and it has aged just fine. It is still a very fun (and a little saucy) movie.
I need to re-see Slap Shot, its been years and at the right price I might be interested. I've never seen High Plains Drifter, so I can't say one way or the other.

Slap Shot and only Slap Shot.
Weird Science, vastly overrated. Also, has aged terribly since modern generation computer losers will soon be able to 3D print out plastic vagoos.

Finally was able to watch High Plains Drifter ( after the horror challenge ) it was fantastic! Great remastering job in HD! Thank you.

Found this on the dead side of my DiscoVision Slap Shot:

Picked up Slapshot and Weird Science at Target last week and watched over the weekend. Fully enjoyed both of them especially Slapshot.

Also wondering if Weird Science has the dialogue restored that was missing from the last DVD. They should also have included the original matrixed sound track.

And when this doesn't sell, they'll just say nobody wants catalog titles...

The iTunes version (which comes free with the Blu-ray) looks better, which is the best you'll probably get.

You're entirely correct, slow-selling catalog titles aren't getting multiple remasters on Blu-ray- from Universal or anyone else. This BD will be the only HD transfer for Weird Science on a disc format for the next 10 years.
