Fletch on HD DVD 3/11/08

Never picked up the "Jane Doe Edition", was holding out for an HD release. Initial specs are saying TrueHD also.

Re: Fletch on HD DVD 3/11/07

This is great news. HDNET movies (or was it Universal HD) just showed Fletch and Fletch Lives - still damn funny! Will pick this one up for sure!

Re: Fletch on HD DVD 3/11/07

This is the first Universal release announcement I have been excited about in a long time. It was also nice to hear they were re-issuing some Combo Format releases a non-Combos (Dazed and Confused and Land of the Dead).

Re: Fletch on HD DVD 3/11/07

Sweet, glad I never picked up the Jane Doe Edition on DVD. I just caught "Fletch Lives" on HDNet Movies last weekend and it looked pretty dang good. Looking forward to this release.

Re: Fletch on HD DVD 3/11/07

I too love the Fletch movies, and am glad to hear that the original is scheduled for release. Now we need the second.

It was cool to see them recently on HDNet Movies.

Re: Fletch on HD DVD 3/11/07

Just watched it on HDNet Movies the other night and saved it to my DVR's external hard drive. I'll have to rent the HD-DVD through Netflix to see how much better it looks than the broadcast. Still one of my favorite comedies of all time.
