Ironic Blu-ray promo scenes in Universal or Paramount movies?

[reginaroadie]

Hey All

I'm pretty sure no one's going to respond to this, but I'm putting this out there just to tell people I noticed something pretty funny.

Right after Blu Friday, I got around to watching THE BLUES BROTHERS in my DVD collection. And halfway through the James Brown number, there's this really funny moment when a shaft of light erupts from a cloud outside the church, shines inside, and hits Jake. Jake's suddenly bathed in this really cheesy blue glow, and this exchange happens.

Jake: The band... the band...
Reverend Cleophus James: DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?
Jake: THE BAND!
Reverend Cleophus James: DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?
Elwood: What light?
Reverend Cleophus James: HAVE YOU SEEEEN THE LIGHT?
Jake: YES! YES! JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST... I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!

I just found it funny given the format war that this scene now has a different meaning to all us high def enthusiasts.

If and when Universal makes the announcement that they're shifting to Blu-Ray, that moment from THE BLUES BROTHERS should make it into a Universal Blu-Ray promo.

What are some other scenes in Universal or Paramount movies that ironically promote the Blu-Ray format.

Theres that scene in Old School where Will Ferrell "sees Blue... and hes glorious"

[Curumo]

wasn't the title Blue Brothers?

The title of this thread is pretty misleading..haha. I wouldnt exactly call either one of this scenes "promos".

I would agree that they do have a new meaning to Blu supporters. "You're my boy Blu!!"

You're My Boy Blue!!!!!
