Excellent.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

Excellent news.


Queue up the following standard gripes:

• Oh no! not the book packaging again
• No lossless = no sale
• It'll have DNR to please the grain haters
• Was it a 4k scan? if so not good enough - it should be 8k because 8 is higher than 4.
• $35 for a catalog title? Are they nuts?

Sold!

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

LOL! Oh, and are there really people who've been griping about the book packaging???

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

All were very funny but this was my favorite:

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

Yup. I don't know why but they do.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

It gets even funnier if you imagine Nigel Tufnel saying it.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

would have been great to have a dvd size replica of the coffee table book from
the laser special edition.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

You hit that one out of the ballpark.

This is great news. Along similar lines: About a year ago, I remember hearing that 'Amadeus' was tentatively scheduled for a January 08 release. Given the format shake-out, I wonder what's the current status. Both 'Amadeus' and 'Cuckoo's Nest' were fine special editions in SD, so I assume they'll be likewise in BD. Seems to me, both of these would have been naturals for the "book" editions, given the custom cases featured in SD.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

I wonder if Warner is looking at having both cuts of Amadeus for the BD. I hope so. if that's the case it may be a bit longer until that gets released as compared to this release of Cuckoo's Nest.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

Amadeus' beautiful cinematography will look extraordinary on BD. Both the theatrical version and the director's cut on the same disk would be an excellent move. I just hope you can make your own version, since I never liked the scene with Katerina, Mozart and Salieri in her dressing room, that one was a bit 'stating the obvious'. Other than that I liked the DC very much.

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

I watched Amadeus on HDnet this week and it looked really nice.

It was the DC

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

So you are saying that you would be perfectly happy to pay $35.00 for this movie if it had no lossless track, DNR out the wazoo, and a master scanned at the best rate possible?

Re: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" coming to Blu-ray July 15

I'm saying people bitch way too much around here. I thought that was obvious but I guess not.

Does the Canadian edition of the Ultimate Edition BLU-RAY have bilingual English/French packaging?
