Great news, I just watched the superbit DVD the other day

Stand by Me is a total nostalgia-fest

But is the world ready for the Blu-ray version of Lard Ass’s Pie Eating Contest Barf-o-Rama ?

, only time will tell.

Arkadin · 12-31-2010, 12:08 PM

OMG!
a Sony catalog.

need a date to really get excited though.

IndyMLVC · 12-31-2010, 12:42 PM

I wonder if it will contain the 5.1 track that is exclusive to the Japanese Superbit!

It's the only version of the film that's not in mono!

I know.... the only thing more surprising would be a live-action Disney catalog release.

I do hate to double dip, but this could be a must. Will keep my fingers crossed for any further news on this.

Xerios · 12-31-2010, 02:15 PM

nice find op!

Abitante Notte · 12-31-2010, 02:38 PM

My favorite movie.

I_Like_Movies · 12-31-2010, 02:48 PM

As much as I want to get excited about this, I won't hold my breath until a release date has been announced.....

the sordid sentinel · 12-31-2010, 03:25 PM

I absolutely love this movie for MANY reasons. I'll definitely be ordering this when/if it goes live.

I can understand wanting to wait to be sure -- but this is one of Sony's "Go-To" catalog releases. It had SEVERAL DVD editions and it's clearly a well selling title so if anything I'm just surprised it's taken this long to get announced in any form. I wouldn't be too worried. My hope is that they've done a really strong restoration on it. It's one of my favorite films.

DVDFreaker · 12-31-2010, 08:42 PM

Best movie ever! I am so happy it is finally coming to Blu-Ray! PRE-ORDERED!

Rebelwithoutacause · 12-31-2010, 08:52 PM

I was having a discussion with my friends yesterday and we were talking about BR movies that we'd love to own and this is one that was mentioned a lot.

Hopefully this release gets a solid transfer with nice packaging and a good price.

nolfoc · 12-31-2010, 09:07 PM
