OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

we had the Abyss and True Lies discussion the other day now today this:


And in other news, this would normally go in The Rumor Mill, but it's easier to just post it here: We've been checking with our industry sources and have confirmed that 20th Century Fox is definitely planning to bring director James Cameron's The Abyss and True Lies to Blu-ray at long last. Sources tell us that the hope is to do a big promotion with the titles sometime next year. Why the wait? Cameron is a pretty busy guy these days, so these things take time. (Hey, when was the last time you tried diving to the deepest point in the ocean?) Nevertheless, rest assured that the two long-awaited films are definitely coming to Blu in the not-too-distant future.

Hmm, neither really appeal to me in 1080p, but if the theatrical of The Abyss is in there I might be interested.

Disney's Blu Ray catalog releases for this year and there are some titles that I really want!

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8386

I especially can't wait for:

Adventures in Babysitting
Ed Wood
Arachnophobia
Dick Tracy
Pocahontas/Pocahontas 2 (would prefer to just have the first film)
Rescuers/Rescuers Down Under (would prefer to just have the 2nd film)
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

And the big one for many here...

HOCUS POCUS! And it says "special edition" on the cover, so let's hope it is!

http://www.blu-ray.c...-Blu-ray/40523/

There are a lot more titles so check them out. Most of them had bare-bones non-anamorphic DVDs, at least in Region 1. So a lot of these will absolutely be great upgrades for people who are fans of the films, even if there are no bonus features added. A great year for Disney animated/live action catalog titles!

This gives me hope for near-future blu ray releases of other live-action Disney titles. I'm really keeping an eye out now for Return To Oz... I bet they'll do a release for that film when the new Oz films come out in theaters.

The Poseidon Adventure will be available on Blu April 3rd exclusively at Walmart. Right now you can preorder it for 12.99. It will sit nicely next to my Towering Inferno, now if only Airport, Airport 75, and Earthquake will get decent Blu releases.

It's sort of a mixed bag; many shots look great (at least on my small screen), but at times there is very heavy grain and softness. In any case, it must be vastly superior to the DVDs, and for that price... :-)

Speaking of lyrics from Superman, I gave my Superman blu ray away, the single disc version.

I went through all my dvd's and Blu's last night and gathered a few to give to my co-worker. Gave her the dvd of Carrie, Poltergiest, and the Poseidon Adventure. I like the Digibook format which is the blu version of Poltergeist I plan to purchase.

Isn't the extended version pan & scan only? Or is that just the fault of the German DVD release? I'm pretty sure that was non-anamorphic, too.

Technically, all Blu-rays are non-anamorphic, as they natively come in 16:9 resolutions, unlike DVDs, which had 4:3 formats and could produce 16:9 either by letterboxing (i.e. loss of resolution) or horizontal stretching of the 4:3 image (=anamorphic distortion).

And as you can see, I was talking about the DVD.
