So boored at work..... stupid DEFINITELY MAYBE.
anyway, it's time to make a list, because that's what i do when I'm bored. Today's list is called WHERE'S MY BLU-RAY'S, BITCH???
These are the Blu-Rays I would like the most right now. I tried to pick from ones there have been no announcements or rumblings about as of March of 08. One assumes that all of the Paramount / Universal exclusives will make their way to BR eventually, so there's no point in mentioning BSG: S1, TRANSFORMERS, the BOURNE movies or THE THING. Likewise, MATRIX, BATMAN BEGINS, SHAWSHANK, and HEAT are already in the WB pipeline.
1. LORD OF THE RINGS (Extended Editions / Theater Cuts)
Odds: Unlikely this year. With NL going defunct and PJ busy with LOVELY BONES, i wouldn't expect to see this until nearer to the HOBBIT's production. Having both remastered would be preferrable (the picture quality on the DVD theater cuts is a bit lacking, because they're compressed onto on disc), but obviously the Extended Cuts would be best if they only released one.
2. THE INCREDIBLES
Odds: Possibly this year, when WALL-E is released on BR. The RATATOUILLE disc is widely regarded as the best BR, I can just imagine how Bob Parr and family would look.
3. STAR WARS (prequel trilogy)
Odds: Are you fucking kidding? We're talking about Lucas, remember? Content aside, these would look just SMASHING in 1080.
4. LOST SEASON 1 / 2
Odds: Possibly by Christmas. S4 is more likely this year. I'm a completist, and S3 looked sooo good.
5. ARMAGEDDON
Odds: Who knows? The Criterion dvd good as it is, is NON ANAMORPHIC. After the bang up job Disney did on THE ROCK, I expect nothing less for my favorite Bay title.
5. ALIEN / ALIENS / THE ABYSS / TITANIC
Odds: Probably around the time AVATAR opens. Fuck it, just release all of the Camerons, and I'll be a happy camper.
6. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN / BAND OF BROTHERS
Odds: Who knows. They'll sound great, but based off of the 300 BR, the high grain and desaturated color tones will be only a marginal increase over SD.
Other titles:
BRAVEHEART
THE GODFATHER
SE7EN
KILL BILL 1/2
