Do we now, once again, get to be treated to pages and pages of chastisements against the general membership by those who have declared themselves morally superior?
Hasn't it all pretty much been said at this point?
but Mark, no one is actually saying that. Atfree was merely musing as to why a film with no real reputation for quality has resources spent on it to make a new HD master before more wanted titles with a built in fan base. I don't get that he's saying it SHOULDN'T be released, he's just...
Obviously he's not going to buy it, but I think you may be missing atfree's point. He's musing out loud as to why something like this gets a new HD scan when so many titles people are actually waiting for are allowed to languish on a shelf somewhere. It's a legitimate question and he's among...
pssst...slide HOW TO BEAT THE HIGH COST OF LIVING in that list for me, would ya? It wasn't even on DVD until 2012 and it was unforgivably released only in 4:3. I don't hold out much hope for there even being an HD master but I would love a good copy of an (IMO) underrated favorite on blu-ray! ;)

I agree, but the reality of the situation is that, rightly or wrongly, many people WILL equate the quality of the disc with the distributor and I would think that they would want to launch the program with a line-up of stronger discs that will set the tone for the license agreement. People will...
I agree with you but I have a question. Obviously, since some of the masters are going to be better than others, the subsequent blu-rays will most likely reflect those varied qualities. I wonder, though, why the earliest wave of the releases contains both a controversial aspect ratio (Marty)...
I'm somewhat disappointed, obviously, in what I'm hearing from people who have managed to snag this disc early as it is the title I'm most anticipating, but most of what I've read (Robert notwithstanding) is that, while far from reference quality, the disc is satisfying and people seem...
