hahahah epic

I love what Universal has brought us over our lives...but this is just to be a boring repackage? Not very enticing....? I have so many of these titles and if they were upgrades by way of special features or better video/audio, 4k masters..perhaps i'd double dip!

Just till the end of 2012 then they're going back to the classic logo

I hope the release some older titles on blu such as their classic monsters and a couple of Abbott and Costellos as promised. Would love to see all the A & C comedies hit blu, but that, right now, is just a fantasy I'm sure.

That would be awesome!! Have the boxed releases on dvd, which aren't too bad. Loved watching those films Sunday afternoons with the grandpa!!

How exactly do you play the game for that coupon? It sent me an email saying I had been entered for a chance to win a million dollars or something.

As a matter of fact I just received the Abbott and Costello box set on dvd yesterday. If a few of their titles hit blu, I will still be getting them of course.

Well, they've already announced several titles on BD for their 100th anniversary (see the OP); don't be surprised if more are coming.

I'm sure the Paramount centennial logo's there only because the cheapskates at Comcast & NBCUniversal--the same ones who ditched a perfectly decent NBCUni logo, combining a small NBC peacock with the "globe" arcs of Universal's print logo, for a boring line of text just because they wanted to ram "NBC" & "Universal" together--are too stupid to realize Universal needs a centennial logo. (Edit: Besides, if the Universal logo is supposed to be Earth, isn't the Paramount logo on the same planet? )

Logo aside, of all the classic movies Universal as made over 100 years, that is the list they have to offer so far? I sure hope things will get better as 2012 goes on cause seriously that first list of release is rather sad.

Most of them are just the previously released discs with a "100 years" slipcover, which is a brilliant way to move unsold stock by catering to slip collectors and the uninformed public.

At the beginning of December, someone posted the 2012 release schedule on the Criterion forum and someone cross-posted the list to BR.com and someone else complained and it was moved to the wishlist subforum...

The thread can be found here.

Plenty of good stuff on that list.

No, it will remain the same but the 100 years will be removed. I quite like the new Paramount video intro with the stars gliding across the water surface.

*A Bronx Tale


more to come...


*= new to BD

The pre-order for Bronx Tale on Blu-ray has long since been removed from Amazon, and no longer shows up on Blu-Ray.com either. I really highly doubt that this will be released on 1/10/12 at this point.

Out of Africa Blu-ray

The Deer Hunter Blu-ray

Meet the Parents Blu-ray

The Nutty Professor Blu-ray

Parenthood Blu-ray

Harvey Blu-ray


Found Posted on thedigitalbits.com:

First, Universal has set Out of Africa for Universal 100th Anniversary Collector's Series Blu-ray/DVD combo release on 3/6. We've asked the studio whether this is a new transfer or just a re-issue of the existing version, and HAVE CONFIRMED that this is a newly-remastered version that should be far superior to the existing disc. Here's hoping they revisit Kubrick's Spartacus soon as well. Speaking of catalog BDs, the studio has also set The Deer Hunter, The Nutty Professor, Parenthood and Harvey (1950) for Universal 100th Anniversary Blu-ray release on 3/6 as well. And for you vintage TV DVD fans, Night Gallery: Season Three is finally due on DVD only on 4/10.

Correct date for All Quiet, but TKaM drops two weeks earlier (January 31).

Looks like the Canadian version is the same slips as the US. No bilingual text. Only difference is the one extra sticker on it that reads 'includes French version'! My lical WM had 19 of the blus and most of the companion DVDs plus DVD Schin list.

Touch of Evil.....

I thought this was out on blu-ray in the uk? Check out amazon.co.uk - I bet all your prayers have been answered!

Touch of Evil Blu-ray

Now let us all wish for "The Jerk" on Blu-ray!!! Steve Martin at his best on blu-ray!!--- Now that would be amazing!!!!
