Airport coming this summer, it's every bit as important as the Raider's blu.

Quint, you should watch the DC of Alien on the Alien Anthology, it's quite wonderful. The set is wonderful. The last two films are not good. 3 is just awful, but it's worth a viewing to see how not to follow a great film, but 4 is such a guilty pleasure of wonderful schlock. No set has taken the best advantages of blu the way this set does.
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.

Was a U.S. release for Cleopatra ever announced, or are the imports all that's known to be available right now?

Ridley Scott says the theatrical cut is the true DC. I never bothered to watch the so-called DC (which was 'commissioned' by Fox for commercial reasons, if I recall and understand correctly). It's a slightly tighter cut and includes the Dallas cocoon scene (which I don't care for).


I think the theatrical is better overall. It just didn't need changing. There are still some moments in The Director's Cut I like, like Lambert slapping Ripley and the shot of the Alien hanging above Brett. Although that maybe shouldn't have been in there.

The one you have is a European version. There hasn't been until now any US release of the Bluray.

Sometimes the move from the US to Germany works in my favor. I never bought Terminator 3 in the US because it had no lossless audio format. Now I discovered, by coincidence, that the German Version (region code free) has both a German and English audio track in TrueHD :-) Now the collection is complete... On the flip side, new releases are more and more region encoded. Thor, Immortals, Tintin... And I don't really want to buy American versions, because once my player dies (which it will probably do soon), I will have to buy a German player.

Heard really bad things about the Dutch (maybe for the whole of Europe as well) conversion of Immortals. American version is said to be much better.

I didn't like the trailer of Immortals. It tries to be like 300 but fails. I could've told them that before they made the movie. It's like director X would say he's going to make Blade Runnner 2. Save yourself the trouble, you're not going to succeed. I don't believe even Scott himself can't do it. The same goes for Spielberg. Let's say that he decides to return to Jaws, well, he won't better the original.

added Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall, Halloween II (the original sequel to the original not the Rob Zombie films), and the Vow. I bought the Vow for my mom but since it was a combo pack she kept the DVD and I took the Blu.

I'm not as excited about this as much as I ought to be, possibly because I've seen the movie a lot in the last twelve months. It's ALWAYS on tv here, and I'm a bit played out with it just now.

It's looking to be a sublime release, though.

I wonder what kind of new special features it will have, and wonder if it'll include some of the stuff that was in that bigger deluxe edition box set of E.T. on DVD back in the day. I still never got to see any of that stuff beyond what was on the 2 disc edition.

Wouldn't it have been cool if there had been a isolated score track with the composer's original score as it was written for the film for the E.T. Blu-ray? Similar to Alien and Aliens.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-
