What a let down. I was hoping for the beauty of the Criterion SD DVD but only in 1080p. Instead we get yet another "oh we must need to filter the film grain and make everything shiney and plasticey for the dolts who don't know better" Wal-Mart crowd. I fear for how the inevitable Back To The...

That is absolute truth.

I suspect we'll see "Barry Lyndon" given an SE treatment within the next year. I'd rather wait a little bit and have it done RIGHT than to have Warner rush it. Yeah I'd love to have "Barry Lyndon" on HD-DVD right now but honestly the 2001 SD-DVD remaster is still very watchable for the time being.

Funny thing is that right now "MyExpressCheckout" (sic) shows "In Process"..... yet a box was sitting at by my doorstep this afternoon containing..... I was also on the phone with Warner today. Even on THEIR own end it shows that it hadn't been shipped yet. And yes.... I got the guy...

Maybe Paramount with throw in an extra disc for each Jack Ryan film with the extras then repress the first disc with any audio commentaries added. Wishful thinking but we'll have to wait and see.

It looks like from the DVD Beaver screencaps that there is a little cropping done on the new 2001 SE. If you look at the 2001 Warner remaster screencap then compare it right down below with the SE screencap you can see the SE looks a bit more zoomed in than the 2001 remaster does. Just an...

Too bad the movie isn't even worth the disc its being put on.

Just got off the phone with "Tammy" from Warner's 800 number. She told me that according to her "senior supervisor" that they are expecting to have the issue fixed "by the end of this week" which means they better hurry up (since its Thursday now). She also told me that since they have "a large...

I got told the same thing over the phone on Friday about the computer issues. This is absolutely frustrating as I was hoping to have watched most of "Smallville" Season 6 by now. Instead its sitting on THEIR end while I continue to wait and wait. Warner as much as I love their products they...

... not again.

That's right... I keep forgetting they technically were letterbox transfers since the last time I watched "Barry Lyndon" was several years ago on my now long gone 27 inch Sony VVega.

http://www.amazon.com/Barry-Lyndon-R...0489088&sr=1-2 Amazon is saying Widescreen. Hopefully if this is true then an HD-DVD release is not too far behind. :D Also Lolita shows for an 10/23 SD-DVD release in WS according to Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Lolita-James-M...0489088&sr=1-3

So.... where's the first two?

You know I just HAD a feeling something like this was going to happen. Glad I held off on buying them on HD until this set comes. Hopefully there will be a good sale on it somewhere the week it comes out too. Thanks Jari K for the info. :D
