this is an excellent film - I highly recommend it.

Vipper II

Now this definitely has to be a "pick-a-title-from-the-hat" release. Short Circuit: The Number Five Edition.

Well, that settles it: I'm going dual-format.

I'd like to advise Image to go with the minimum quantity needed for a pressing to Blu-Ray, and the make some room in a warehouse that they can afford to have occupied for a while.

Supermallet

Short Circuit on Blu-ray! Yessss. This will feed my autonomous robot cravings until Wall-E comes out.

Doughboy

Nice! About time we got some Guttenberg in HD.

And considering the DVD is non-anamorphic, that alone makes it worth the upgrade.

Copper Blue

My Guttenberg in HD vote would go to Boys From Brazil, also non-anamorphic

True_Story1011

Mine would be Police Academy!

Hammer99

I like the list price, and I hope Image starts putting out more titles. Cheesy 80's schlock, I'm in.

Doughboy

Maybe next year for the 25th anniversary(yes, it's been that long).

True_Story1011

Just got word from Paramount. The following HD DVDs have OFFICIALLY been cancelled:

The Jack Ryan Collection
Sweeney Todd
The Kite Runner

We were told that official info about There Will Be Blood and Bee Movie will be coming soon...not sure if that's good news or bad.

Jericho

Oh Jack Ryan Collection, will you ever be released? Third time I have pre-ordered it, only to have it cancelled. Two different formats too.

Giles

well ... I assuming it might mean I wont have to buy the import UK bluray edition

redrum

please paramount let there be hd-dvd.

applesandrice

What a bunch of crap. It's amazing to me that Warner Bros. is still committed to releasing on HD DVD through May, while a previously HD DVD exclusive studio like Paramount just flips it off like a light switch.

True_Story1011

I think we all knew it was going to happen, I just thought that they would've waited until after the release of Sweeney Todd to kill their HD DVD programs.

QuePaso

*greedily awaits them all on blu-ray*

Gizmo

Better get Todd on Blu....
