OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
If you’re searching for an irresistibly fun cult classic with an out-of-this-world cast, you’ve found it! Now available for the first time on Blu-ray™, Earth Girls Are Easy follows the misadventures of three furry aliens — played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans — whose spaceship crash-lands into a pool owned by Valerie, a valley-girl manicurist (Oscar® winner* Geena Davis). Befriended by Valerie and given human makeovers, the extraterrestrial trio embarks on a wild weekend filled with partying, police pursuits, and, yes, interplanetary love.

This seems to be a repackaging of the earlier Special Edition DVD? Has there been any HD upgrades or another "drop & pop" from LeoGate? If there were any, you'd think they'd be shouting it from the rooftops?

I don't know if it's just an upgrade from an old dvd because I never had it. But I have this blu-ray. I can tell you that the transfer is superb. Looks like it was shot last week, not 35 years ago. Sound is booming and uncompressed. Did anyone do a review thread for this?
