It hasn't been "officially" announced yet, but I doubt Beetlejuice will be "book" edition. I can't imagine it going well with How the West Was Won, Bonnie and Clyde, Naturla Born Killers...

$5 extra. With the exception of Fox, standard "catalog" title pricing is more like $29.99.
Here's an idea for someone to put together a new poll:
"How surprised are you that, since HD DVD folded, Blu-ray prices have substantially risen?
-Very
-Moderately
-Not at all
-Holy crap!! My world has been turned upside down!!
-Stop spreading your FUD, Pinko -- Blu-ray prices have actually come DOWN; the perceived price increases are all because the American Dollar has been devalued by Wal Mart's $5 DVD bargain bins!!!"

10 years and the best Warner can come up with is 3 22 cartoons and a slipcover? No sale for me. Then to charge $5 more for a soundtrack sampler and a booklet? That's my beef. Why no deleted scenes? Commentary? Features?

I totally agree -- it's pretty lame for a "deluxe edition".

What exactly is with the soundtrack sampler? Maybe that would work with a new theatrical release, but I bought the CD soundtrack 20 years ago.
Anyway, back to announcements:
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (unrated)
