I thought the Ken Burns movie was theater based. I have yet to see it, but I have no doubt that that will be a great movie to watch on BR.

Iis it even possible that these can look any better?

judging by the special on ABC the last couple of years which has been labeled as HD.. probably not. Still, there is probably SOMEONE out there just getting their very first home entertainment setup and first disc player and Charlie Brown Christmas is now available for them to own in a modern video format.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Just ordered Snow White - thanks everyone for the heads up.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

A Charlie Brown Christmas should have come with a soundtrack or something instead.

The Frankenstein poster with him laying down always freaked me out as a kid.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I keep seeing people talk about that, but I didn't get one unfortunately

I tried Amazon's VOD and it's more hassle than it's worth. At least to me. I rented "Wonder Woman," but their Unboxing client only works on Windows. Not to mention the video's picture is cut off at the bottom and I don't know how to fix it.

apparently you should be mindful on which charlie brown you buy. Some stores, like Target, have a 2-disc version which contains a digital copy. doesn't seem to be any other difference, but still for people who care about digital copies (I do) it is worth it to probably find that version. at least until either managed copy finally hits or it becomes much faster and less of a hassle to rip blu-rays down to ipod/iphone.

 

[soco]

yay Contact!

can't wait to get home and watch it. i'd pre-ordered it and i'm so excited!

 

[NekoFever]

Got Snow White. I also have the UK versions of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Looking for Eric, which are out this week, on order.

Finally, Contact. Weird that there are no reviews for the transfer quality anywhere yet.

*nevermind, found one: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews47/contact_blu-ray.htm
Colors look kinda messed up. Huge red push. Yeah, it kinda sucks - the crappy HD broadcast ends up looking better, despite it's pretty terrible compression artifacts visible in some screens. I could swear the bluray transfer also looks a tad blurrier...

Didn't think so, seeing as they were originally television broadcasts.

Thanks for the heads up. It's weird that Target seems to be getting all of these exclusive versions. All of the Dreamworks animated movies w/ dvd discs, for example.

A Hard Day's Night on Blu-Ray? Are any of the other Beatles movies coming?

 

[Ovid]

Bought.

I sometimes wonder how Amazon makes any money.

When the price is this low they make money off of the amount of unit sold as opposed to a premium price point.

Anyways, will Amazon credit the account of customers who pre-ordered it for $24.99?

Yes, you'll get an email confirming it in a day or two.

Trick'r Treat, Dinosaurs Alive, Seventh Moon...anyone seen these? Are they good?

A horror aficionado friend of mine watched Seventh Moon tonight and is raving about it. Even though everyone seems to be content to forget they're even alive, both of the Blair Witch guys have gone on to direct some very solid movies, and this sounds like it may be another one. I'll be checking it out this weekend.

 

[EviLore]

Audition bluray, nice.

 

[Vyer]

Snow White deal is pretty sweet. I went ahead and added 2001 since it's still like 9 bucks at Amazon to get both for a total of 20 bucks!

 

[ThirstyFly]

Blind buying Trick R Treat and considering getting The Children after seeing the praise as well.

Did anyone pick them up? How are the discs?

[Hellraizah]

[BattleMonkey]

Trick R Treat was pretty good!
