    Post Blu-rays Missing in Action

    There were some real suprises in there. No Monty Python? No Star wars? (Well, we know Lucas is a cash whore, so no suprise there.)


    Any Blu rays that didn't make the list that you feel should be in the format?


    The big hole in my BR collection are the original and remake of NOTLD. I mean WTF man?

    I'm sure there are liscensing issues but they've gotta get that done man !

    neat article, but its rant on cowboy bebop on bluray is a bit ironic since ive never seen it on dvd and ive been lookin'

    -as for night and night 90 its possible they just might not make the transiiton, how many people have a flick on vhs just because it never went over to dvd?

    In time we'll see all of these. I remember it seemed like a lifetime before we got BTTF, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc on DVD.

    And I thought Night already had a BR?

    If it was i wasn't told about it.

    is there a link buddy?

    Seriuosly, it really bothers me not having it. It's like my collection is not complete.

    I'm sure you can relate to that.

    After searching....looks like i'm mistaken. It's on 2 BR's in Region 2, but not on R1. I could have sworn I've seen the 40th Anniversary release on BR....

    Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get a VERY special BR release of only the 30th Anniversary edition of NOTLD to add to our blu-ray collection while the real version isn't released on BR for a number of years. Now, wouldn't that be a kick to the balls?

    The Network release of Night is not region locked, but unfortunately, it is a piss poor transfer for any Americans interested in adding it to their collection...

    http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Night-...-Blu-ray/6665/

    I got the Optimum release which is slightly cropped, but boasts far superior picture quality (Region B locked though)

    http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Night-...-Blu-ray/1687/


    Side by side picture comparison of the two...

    All I want is an excellent remaster of all the Indy films in HD, as well as a better mastering of Last Action Hero, since they screwed it up yet again for the BR release.

    Speaking of Last Action Hero - why is that movie always essenitally shit on? They make it available here in the US on DVD, but in 4:3 format only (if there was ever a movie that needed to be widescreen, this was it - the pan & scan will make you seasick on this flick!) - then when they finally release it in HD, what do they do? Well, they put it back in it's native widescreen format, BUT, they didn't do a good transfer on the flick. I'll never understand the way they disown this movie over and over again.


    Oh, and I'd like to see House on Haunted Hill in HD. They released House on Haunted Hill 2 (which was awful) on HD-DVD and on Blu, but not the first one.

    I don't get the logic of these companies sometimes..

    Here's one you can mark off your "MIA" list. Universal just announced a 25th anniversary BTTF Blu Ray, baby!

    http://www.joblo.com/universal-annou...ogy-on-blu-ray

    - In the Beginning...: Delve into the genesis of the project, casting, re-casting, the DeLorean, sets and overall pre-production.
    - Time to Go: Production stories through the release of the first film.
    - Keeping Time: The score and the songs of the Back to the Future Trilogy.
    - Time Flies: Learn more about how the sequel came about, the futuristic look, the special and visual effects, recreating 1955 and more.
    - Third Time’s the Charm: Learn about building a western town, Doc Brown’s love story, the casting of Mary Steenburgen, the train sequence and completing the Trilogy.
    - The Test of Time: Back to the Future becomes a phenomenon! President Reagan quotes the film, the Back to the Future ride opens at Universal Studios theme park and fans rebuild the iconic DeLorean. The film’s cast and crew take a look back and discuss why these beloved movies live on.

    Over two hours of new features. Wow....and I thought the DVDs had enough already. Also, you know if they went through the trouble of filming new docs that they should give the right attention to the transfer.

    Yay.

    Was delayed.... which sucks, but maybe, they're working on a new master.

    NOTLD (1968) is available on Region 1 Blu-Ray now: http://cgi.ebay.com/Night-Living-Dea...item2306d30ec9

    NOTLD (1990) - when I was at Cinema Wasteland Tom Savini said Columbia will be doing a blu-ray and asked him about doing a director's cut.

    Hope that helps.

    Looks like Zombie Holocaust is being released in September. I'm not a huge fan of this one but it's nice to see that a grade z zombie flick is getting released. Hopefully Shreik Show does a good job on it.
    I'd love to see Blue Underground put out Nightmare City.

    House on Haunted Hill? Original or Remake?

    Nevermind....that doesn't matter because they both suck.
