    "The Resurrected" (dir: Dan O'Bannon) might never get a US BD release?

    Some years back I had campaigned online to get Dan O'Bannon's "The Resurrected" released on DVD via Lionsgate. After many e-mails, phone calls with the guy who ran their home entertainment division, it got a DVD release in 2005 (all be it in a full screen only, bare bones version but whatever.)...

    A John Carpenter 'shared universe'

    Not not all of his films existing in the same reality but maybe two or three of them? Imagine Jack Crow meeting Snake Plisskin somewhere between NY & LA timelines battling vampires who wanna kill the president only to find out the president is actually an alien in disguise. Now they can't...

    "No Holds Barred" (Hulk Hogan movie) coming to Blu April 1st

    I thought this would be one of those movies that'll never see the light of day again after VHS then one day I found the DVD on a Wal-Mart shelf so I bought it instantly (guilty pleasure to be sure.) Never thought it'd get a BD release until BAM they just announced it the other day for April 1st...

    Green Lantern The Animated Series coming to Blu March 18th

    Warner Archive is happily releasing the entire series (all one season of it) for Green Lantern The Animated Series on Blu-Ray March 18th!!

    Anyone have problems playing "Dredd"?

    I just bought "Dredd" (the new one, not the Stallone version) and it flat out won't play in my BD player, even updated the player's software and nothing. The on screen message says "cannot operate this disc" and the message on the display of my player says "unknown." I looked at the disc and...

    Warner Brothers: Please release a COMPLETE set of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" on Blu-Ray

    The only reason I ever watched Cartoon Network the past year or so was to watch "Green Lantern: The Animated Series." Sadly, the network has cancelled that excellent show (even though there is a vocal and on-going campaign online to save it.) WB released season 1 part 1 on DVD only which made me...

    Question: If I buy a region free BD from the UK, will it play on a US BD player?

    Apologies in advance if I put this in the wrong forum but I recently came across something confusing. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is releasing a Blu-Ray of one of his concerts next month in the UK but as of yet, there's been no US release date announced. I've posted on his own forum and...

    Why no "Blu-Ray on demand"?

    Several of the major studios have their own MOD (Movies On Demand) program that offer up smaller titles that had very little chance at getting a "proper" mainstream DVD release, giving fans the opportunity to buy their favorites in an official capacity and likely the best those movies have even...

    Anyone having problems with their "Uncle Buck" BD?

    Just bought it for $10 from Wal-Mart this weekend, popped it in today and at first my player wouldn't play it. Ejected it to try again and it played this time but I constantly had issues with the movie freezing up then picking up several seconds later plus another weird thing, the audio option...

    Two important questions

    My question is twofold: a. What difference, if any, might I notice with Blu-Ray on a 720p res as opposed to 1080p? I've heard it takes a screen the size of a room's wall to notice any real difference on a 720p display when the native res is 1080i or 1080p. Plus, my TV looks great with the Dish...

    Oddity: Suddenly can't watch full screen DVDs in 4:3 on my HDTV

    Can't explain it, don't know why or how it happened either. I came home one night and found that I cannot watch a full screen DVD in 4:3 "normal mode" on my Sony TV (model #: KDL-32M3000 serial #: 4067674) I never altered my TV or BD player settings. Previously I had 4 different viewing modes...

    Have there been any non-OAR blu-rays yet?

    Lord knows standard DVD has had it's share of non-OAR DVDs in it's lifetime so I'm wondering if Blu-Ray has seen any such crap come out yet or if it's the accepted norm that hi-def will always be OAR?

    "Grumpy Old Men" coming in July

    Digital Bits is reporting WB will finally re-release "Grumpy Old Men" July 7th but on Blu-Ray rather than standard DVD though I wonder why the sequel "Grumpier Old Men" wasn't announced at the same time (or if it's even coming this year at all.) WB said a few YEARS ago those two titles plus...

    John Carpenter movies on Blu-Ray

    Ok so "The Thing," "Halloween" and the SE of "Assault on Precinct 13" are the only John Carpenter films currently on Blu-Ray correct? Who here owns them and what do you think of the picture quality? Significant upgrade? "Ghosts of Mars" comes out March 31st, by the way. Any rumors about...

    So what all do I need for full HD?

    Ok, I already have a Sony LCD HDTV and I plan on getting a Sony Blu-Ray player with my tax refund later this month so the question remains, what else do I need to complete the whole high definition thing? I'm assuming all I'd have to get are HDMI cables right? How much do they typically go for?

    "X-Men" trilogy re-release

    Well since all The Digital Bits ever talks about is Blu-Ray material and rarely goes into standard DVD any more, the recent announcement of the re-release of the "X-Men" trilogy raised a question. "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" is a 2 disc set in the BR box and as we all know, the original release...

    Dumb question but how do I properly clean off an LCD screen?

    I just got a 27" Sony WS HDTV with an LCD screen and I had used a microfiber cloth to dust it but what about when it actually *needs* to be cleaned? Smoke build-up, whatever. What and how do I clean off the LCD screen?

    "Student Bodies" DVD coming June 3?

    I find this dubious to say the least. Of course if anyone can confirm Paramount is releasing this or has licensed it out to Anchor Bay, feel free to post.
