Goodfellas digibook release wasn't not only the same encode, but it was exactly the same disc. They changed nothing on the disc. Just a different packaging and bonus DVD.matrixschmatrix wrote:Oh, damn, I didn't know Goodfellas was the same until just now. I'm going to go get the older release for $8 from the record store.

Re: Warner Random Speculation
What I'd like to know is when Warner is going to give The Big Red One the Blu treatment it deserves? Enough with Kubrick already...

For what it's worth, I was a huge Crichton fan in my early teens, and it never once occurred to me that I ought to rent Coma even though I knew full well it existed. I did seek out The Great Train Robbery, though.knives wrote:Crichton fans?

Re: Assorted Warner Blus
I'm getting Outland for sure! The former release is one of the truly terrible looking early DVDs from Warner - along with the first Blade Runner release - and I have been waiting a long time for an upgrage. Long overdue. So is a re-issue of Fearless, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they're dumping an OAR version of that one in Archive Hell.

Re: Assorted Warner Blus
Brainstorm (aka the pre-Strange Days), Altered States and Outland (aka High Noon in space) are definite must buys! These also surely provide more than enough spectacular effects to make Blu-rays understandable.
By the way Outland has a great title sequence and opening scene that is very obviously showing the influence of Alien. Not just another excellent Jerry Goldsmith score but the way that the title slowly looms out of the darkness (and ends in a burst of white light anticipatory of the title of Aliens, years before that was made!) and also the titles introducing the mining colony and its inhabitants are very reiminiscent of the earlier film.

Chariots of Fire July 10th-- based on their recent announcements, maybe they mistook it for Streets of Fire

Re: Assorted Warner Blus
Most studios, Warner included, have "tiered" titles when it comes to catalog Blu-ray releases. These titles would be "Tier 3" titles: low expense, no bonus to create or even port over from prior releases (I'd be surprised if these have more than their trailers).
A "Tier 2" title would be something like the upcoming Eastwoods, Empire of the Sun and Chariots of Fire releases - sometimes a digibook, decent amount of bonus to port over from DVD, films with names attached, award winners, etc., but not necessarily tied to an anniversary or a big market push.
"Tier 1" titles are the ones that get the deluxe treatment, like a Citizen Kane or Gone with the Wind, or are anniversary digibook releases (or, annoyingly, double dip releases like Casablanca, Deliverance, and so on).

How do you think it feels to have your movie in Tier 3?
