This one merits a blind-buy for me. A Coen Brothers noir-ish crime film (I loved Blood Simple), overwhelming positive word of mouth and the critical praise.

My number one film of the year, and a rare title that is a must-buy on release date for me. Roger Deakins' cinematography should look spectacular on Blu-Ray!

My sentiments exactly. I just saw this at the start of December and it was instantly one of my top films of 2007. I came out initially thinking that this was a movie I thought I should have liked more than I did. I played back so many scenes over and over in my head that this film climbed up into my top 5.

Yuck.
Maybe it'll get changed when it wins a bunch of Oscars, but I doubt it.
And why do they have the wrong heads above the names? I know they can't change the name order because of contract agreements, so why not photoshop Jones on the left and Brolin on the right to match?
Re: No Country for Old Men - BD via Miramax/Disney - 3/11/08
Since the Oscars are on February 24, they'll probably have to settle for a sticker touting any wins rather than actually changing the art (or they'll have nothing at all about Oscar wins).
