V: The Original Miniseries --> Blu-ray --> 9.27.19
So, i know people know about this miniseries that was on tv ages ago. i actually saw it and it's sequel and loved it to bits. i believe this is the first time in HD. i have the SD on Vudu, but that's it. this also has a commentary by director Johnson and a 25 minute behind the scenes.
can't wait! just hope this sells enough to put out The Final Battle as well. wish they were doing them together, but would love to have that grand finale (imo) in HD as well, with any extras... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....TL._SY445_.jpg |

Kenny Johnson was at Comic Con promoting this new release along with Marc Singer.
He's still trying actively to get his V feature film made, but it has to be made with independent financing. I met Kenny once 7-8 years ago. Really nice man and he's very passionate about V. I have V, V the final battle and V the TV series all on DVD. I might consider this HD, widescreen upgrade. |

Don't forget the camptastic spinoff series that aired for one season. That still has one of my favorite dialogue exchanges of all time:

For those "not in the know", Kenny had NOTHING to do with "V: The Final Battle" (which he hated) or the TV series that followed (or the recent TV reboot for that matter). Those wanting to read Kenny's own sequel to the original mini-series can check out this book (it's quite good): https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...09f15c8827.jpg |

I have to forget the craptastic, short lived one season. I don’t acknowledge and want to keep it that way. That entire original and final battle miniseries thrilled me as kid. Even had to leave football practice early so I can see it. True story.
Still thrills me as I have watched it (not in some time, but again not in the too distant past). The two miniseries were perfect and great for that time and still enjoyable today. I enjoy the whole thing, though clearly the original miniseries was significantly better than anything that came after it. |

I had a tiny black and white TV in my bedroom with a headphone jack. So I sat about two feet away from the screen and watched it with one mono earphone. If I heard my grandmother walking down the hall, I'd reach over and turn down the brightness so I could still hear it but she wouldn't see the glow under my door. :)
If you're going to write off the spinoff series (which I get), you should probably write off The Final Battle as well, because that really does not hold up. I enjoy the whole thing, though clearly the original miniseries was significantly better than anything that came after it. |

V is one of those special things from my childhood. I'll be upgrading to the BD for sure.

Loved V back in the 80s but I am afraid watching it again will undermine my nostalgic memories of it.

Watching the recent remake on cable and not digging it much. |

I tried to explain just how batsh-t crazy that episode was in my recap from the time. This is loaded with spoilers, obviously: https://www.highdefdigest.com/blog/v-mothers-day/ |

The only experience I have with the franchise was the reboot that was canned after two seasons. I liked it though. Laura Vandervoort is cute.

It will be interesting to see whether or not it ages well with the new transfer to BLU. Some of the things that I thought were brilliant as a younger person have not held up over a long span of time.

Re: V: The Original Miniseries --> Blu-ray --> 9.27.19
Damn it's been years. I don't remember much about V the original series. Except Diana gulping down a rat and the baby sticking out it's lizard tongue.
I was a huge fan of V. It would be great to visit it again with such clarity. |
Re: V: The Original Miniseries --> Blu-ray --> 9.27.19
I cannot wait for this. Hopefully the Final Battle will come out soon as well.
I would even buy the series. |
Re: V: The Original Miniseries --> Blu-ray --> 9.27.19
Corny as hell but I love this series and hope the transfer looks great. There is a lot of detail that was lost in the televised version.

Re: V: The Original Miniseries --> Blu-ray --> 9.27.19
Amazon telling me this and new Godzilla still has no release date ship. It’s supposed to come out Tuesday. Amazon lists as Tuesday. But my order still shows no delivery or release. Odd, no?
In fact V listing pulled from Walmart site and Godzilla 3D out of stock at Best Buy. And no ship date on Amazon either even though lists as Tuesday. I’m so confused. |
Re: V: The Original Miniseries --> Blu-ray --> 9.27.19
This and Godzilla still no ship date. What is up?

Will they eventually get it in or lost cause?
