JoeinAR 1,949 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 he won't but you know that his butthole tightens each time he sees Tin Tin spelled that way.As for upcoming blu rays I eagerly await the announcement for Universals The Invisible Man, perhaps my most beloved old horror film. I would love to see a well made remake but that seems utterly and totally impossible given all the attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I love that JAWS 2 is coming as well. When JAWS was first confirmed, Universal also said JAWS 3-D was coming on BD3D.I'm also waiting for the Universals, especially THE WOLF MAN and THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'd buy the lot. Hell, I nearly bought the boxset of 2, 3 and TR (that I already have) in Asda the other day because it has a new 3-D esque cover.I'm not Jaws-obsessed... honest.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Jaws 2 is such a weird flick. It has the look of the first movie, a bunch of the characters, the shark, JW's music. But yet, it's all wrong.Possibly just the strangest sequel ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Its not a bad film at all. Roy Scheider is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's a mere shadow of the original, but that doesn't mean it's without its own moments. The part where Brody slowly wades out into the sea to retrieve the washed up 'thing' matches pretty much anything Spielbergian of the original, which is a heck of compliment. I remember being a kid and absolutely shitting myself during that scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I didn't care for all the teenagers. Roy Scheider was good. Inevitably though, completely unnecessary and unholy sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's essentially a slasher movie, which is great. Has a nice serious tone to it and Scheider is great. I like that he goes all out to show the shark from the first attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Jaws was on TV on Bravo HD channel today. I guess it was probably the DVD version and not the new HD re-master?

Andy 4,126 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Added are new extra features and a remastered soundtrack, with the music score taken directly from the 35mm music stems.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'll be getting the Digibook of Jaws this week, and I see that ET is going to be available at Target in the Steelbook, or at Best Buy you can get a digibook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm getting the DigiBooks. I still don't even intend to keep my Blu-rays and remaining DVDs in their physical packaging for much longer (hello, Discgear storage systems). My one steelbook is the Best Buy Jurassic Park set and that's mainly because the cover art of the JP logo on black is clearly the best design. That being said, DigiBooks are neat packaging. It's not even about what's contained in the pages. I haven't read any of mine because they don't really tell you anything you didn't already know if you're a fan. Hell, the Batman one is mostly pages of the comic adaptation, and it's not the whole thing. Lame! The Jaws pages are frankly awful, but the book is cool.That being said, the books have frequently had superior cover art to standard releases and look better than little cheap Blu-ray cases. That E.T. book cover is the best of them all. It's the classic VHS cover! The steelbook looks like they opened up the 20th Anniversary poster in some primitive image editing program and selected "invert colors". Just terrible.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 They won't because with in-store pickup you have to wait 2 hours after you pick it up.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I've never heard of a movie selling out before, honestly. I understand the appeal of in-store pick up. Should be fast and easy, right? Not the way BBY does it. They're even known for selling pre-ordered copies to customers who will pay right then and there.
