Re: Animal House, I know this was one of Universal's releases on HD-DVD but I only have one request, if anyone from the studio is reading.
Last night, the Biography Channel (or Bio) aired a 2-hour documentary, "Animal House: The Inside Story." I watched most of it (I Tivo'd the whole thing for future viewing) and what I saw was great! Very high production values. They interviewed all the usual suspects (Landis, Reitman, Miller, Ramis, Tim Matheson, Karen Allen, etc.). They even went back to the original locations and interviewed a couple of locals who appeared in the film (the guy who chainsaws the horse in Dean Wormer's office for one). I'd love to see this on a future BR release, possibly even with the Spike TV documentary that aired for the film's 25th anniversary. Heck, Bio even got Steve Bishop for an interview ("I gave my love a chicken...")!
As for The Blues Brothers, I watched this on HDNet last year. I was impressed but there was a mastering error. We dissolve from the church to an exterior shot of the Bluesmobile at night. Then we cut to a shot of the 8-track player, then cut to another shot of the Bluesmobile. The HD version we were watching cut to the shot of the 8-track player twice. Just a heads up before this comes out!
