I'll be getting my father John Adams. I'm gonna hold out for a Blu-ray for myself, hopefully one will be coming.

And if I can find Rome S2 at CC, I'll be picking it up! Thanks guys!

 

[Mike Frezon]

Hey, Ric! FYE was running one of those 40% off a used DVD coupon in the Sunday Times-Union.

===============

Dammit. So you guys think there'll be a BD of John Adams coming down the pike? Aaaargh. I hate decisions like that. I'm real happy with myself for importing the UK BD of Sweeney Todd. I think I'll go for the SD of John Adams anyway.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

John, thanks for the tip on that Genesis DVD! They're showing it in movie theaters tonight only, but nowhere around here. (The Genesis home page has a link to the list of theaters.)

Say, any news on the third boxed CD set (the one with the albums we REALLY want )?

Mike Frezon: You will wait for the Blu-Ray of John Adams. Crom decrees it!

 

[TravisR]

I don't think HBO has released any Blu Rays beyond the two Sopranos: Season Six sets. So if they aren't even releasing more of The Sopranos or other hits like Sex And The City or Entourage, I think John Adams is a long ways away. Personally, I would say rent it now and just wait for a sale on the DVD in a couple of months. Then even if the Blu Ray comes out in the next year, at least you only spent $20 or $25 on the DVD.

Hmmm... Now that you mention it, where is Band of Brothers (not the $$$ Japanese import)?

Anyway, maybe they'll be more willing to test the waters w/ their mini-series hits, particularly a recent one, if they're reluctant to go back to older multi-season series hits. I hope so anyway.

In the meantime, you're right, and that's probably why I started renting again -- this time w/ Blockbuster Online.

_Man_

 

[Mike Frezon]

Or...order it tomorrow from DeepDiscount (where it's listed for $34.89) and get it for $27.91 in their 20% off sale!

And, THEN get the BD if I think it's necessary!

 

[Ric Easton]

Thanks Mike!

As for John Adams... I saw it in HD on HBO. It seems like it would be taking a step backwards to get it as a standard DVD. Though as you folks have pointed out, HBO isn't exactly jumping at Blu-ray.

 

[Ron68]

I'm just getting Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can from CC for $4.99 each, and Superbad 2 Disc Extended Unrated Edition from Best Buy for $12.99.

 

[John Swarce]

Aaron:

I hear it's coming in September of this year. I cannot wait to hear Lamb remastered!

--John

 

[FranklinC]

Just The Rock 3-disc set for me!!!!!!

(I know it's not on the list)

 

[ScottJH]
