No, I meant that CC's B1G1 sale includes more titles than BB's B1G1.

It's an unadvertised sale.
If they put Gremlins 2 on Blu-ray I will buy a PS3
Hulk Hogan is only on the VHS version of the film, right? And the theatrical version had the film melting and breaking up and replaced with Gremlins doing shadow puppets?
It's been years. I loved that movie.
At one point in the film, Dante attempted to involve his audience in the story by making it seem as if the gremlins had taken over whatever theatre Gremlins 2 would be screened in. The film seems to be broken by the gremlins, who then engage in shadow puppetry over a white screen. Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan then appears in a cameo appearance and intimidates the gremlins into running the rest of Gremlins 2; this joke was inspired by a similar stunt in William Castle's film The Tingler (1959). The studio feared people might really leave the theater if they thought the film had broken. Dante thus secured the inclusion of the sequence by assembling some people for a preview of the film. When the scene was shown, the real-life audience found it enjoyable and stayed in the theatre. Dante later described this scene as one of the most widely enjoyed jokes in Gremlins 2. When Gremlins 2 made its debut on home video, the filmmakers altered the scene, to make it seem as if VCRs had been broken by the gremlins. This time actor John Wayne forces the gremlins into continuing the film, although voice impersonation was needed since Wayne had been dead since 1979.[3] Notably, a clip from Falling Hare, a film released in 1943 featuring Bugs Bunny and a gremlin, appears in this version.
In an audio commentary on the DVD, Gilliam forthrightly says he did not think much of The Brothers Grimm script but decided to direct it because he had no projects of his own going on at the time. In interviews included on the DVD edition of Tideland Gilliam says agreeing to direct The Brothers Grimm helped him to line up financing for Tideland. The latter film was made during a break in production on The Brothers Grimm.
does anyone know if the office is available on blu-ray?
Now that I have a larger TV, I'm suddenly interested in HD movies. I'm waiting to see the classic movie selections get beefed up before I make a decision about which format I dive into. Also, Black Friday sales, maybe.
The thing is, Seventh Seal isn't quite an ideal BD movie since it's not widescreen. I know, it will still be HD and all, but that kind of turns down a bit of anticipation. I very badly want more foreign movies in HD though.

Sony is doing a nice job of bringing out some of it's Sony Pictures Classics titles, like Volver, Lives of Others, Paprika and Black Book. I sure hope they keep it up, seeing how they've got all of Almodovar's back catalog, and even 2046.
Disney hasn't come out with their remastered classics yet, have they? Like Alladin or Bambi? I would totally buy Alladin and lots of other Disney classics if the transfers were really good. I haven't watched them for a long long time.

I have all those on Blu Ray except Paprika, lol. I am whore :(Disney hasn't come out with their remastered classics yet, have they? Like Alladin or Bambi? I would totally buy Alladin and lots of other Disney classics if the transfers were really good. I haven't watched them for a long long time.
I'd expect those are still years off. Disney won't release those until there's a big enough base of people with players buying discs, and Disney themselves doesn't quite have the power to make that happen.
Oh shit, my bad, I forgot Disney did the big Blu Ray announcement. And Ratatouille is Blu Ray this year, too. That should have tipped me off.
For some reason I was under the false assumption that some of these titles would be released this year (around the Holidays) :(
Fall 08' is so far away!
