I've been wondering for the longest time when the Naomi Watts King Kong movie would be released to Blu-ray. I'm psyched!

Thanks for posting the cover. Glad to see the extended version will be included.

saweeet.

slipcover?

jimmirehman · 01-14-2009, 08:48 PM

Yes, Slip cover

jimmirehman · 01-14-2009, 08:52 PM

Hey guys i have question that unrelated but since you answered first i thought i would ask. I have a playstation 3 in the living room hooked up to a 52inch HDTV, but i put my 42 in the bedroom and currently do not have DVd or Bluray hooked up to it, but me and the wife like to watch movies in bed. SO do you recommend another PS3 for the bedroom or do you think one of the $200 players would work ok? I dont care about BD-Live, i just want to be able to watch the movie. any suggestions?

My concern is that my Dad has one of the first Sony BLuray Players and all discs work for him until he tried to watch Hancock and it just doesnt work! I dont want to encounter that, again i dont care about the bells and whistles, i just want to watch the movie. please assist.

I was not impressed with the Bass/LFE in this film. The best demo scene is the Empire State scene at the end I think.
Was hoping for some major sub/tactile action on several occations, but was left wanting.. more..

swingle007 · 01-14-2009, 08:48 PM

that's gonna rock! sound system demo material hopefully!

LORDs_angellos · 01-14-2009, 09:27 PM

Awesome! I'll definitely be picking this one up, just for the slipcover.

Me too and I hope it has that stunningly attractive price sticker on the front that is nearly impossible to remove - or it leaves a sticky residue when peeled of.

i kind of wish they went w/a different design on the cover. this one never did anything for me.

JasonS · 01-15-2009, 04:39 AM

If this is the same transfer as the HD DVD version you're all in for a treat. This was one of the very few HD DVD's I ever watched and it is gorgeous!

I agree with the movie rating. Way too long (could have done without the first hour). Huge disappointment especially coming from PJ. But I am sure it will look and sound fantastic in BD.

Having a few Warner HD DVD ports on blu-ray, I always said the 30 GB HD DVD offerings were pretty good picture quality wise. (But not sound.) I'd be a hipocrate to laud praises on a BD25 and spew guile over a 30Gb HD DVD.

Maybe I'll have someone buy it for my birthday next month. I don't spend money on anything with Jack Black in it.
