Mamma Mia Blu-ray

Lucy Diamond · 08-09-2008, 07:07 PM

Actually, weren't there a couple of (opera) Blu-rays released last friday or saturday???

Every once in a while, I see a wednesday or a thursday release too.

Maybe.

Dubstar · 08-12-2008, 01:56 AM

here's hoping we get to see the missing song 'The Name of the Game'

what a train wreck of a film, but oddly endearing.

Geonosis · 08-12-2008, 02:06 AM

Universal has requested the street date not revealed until sometime in October. So between now and then, different dates will be reported. It is due for November, but the firm date will prob keep changing.

ricwhite · 08-12-2008, 03:13 AM

I don't want the movie -- just Pierce Bronsnan's awesome version of SOS.

doesn't that just wanna make you want to shove a rusty spoon into your ear....

Britnasty · 12-07-2008, 12:44 PM

Okay I've searched high and low but every commercial says its only available on DVD/Blu-Ray for a Limited Time Only.

Um Why? Is it just some sales ploy so everyone buys it week 1?

That confused me and I figured someone on here might know what the hell they're talking about.

Rhoq · 12-07-2008, 03:30 PM

Any DVD/Blu-ray release featuring a "digital copy" is for a limited time only. Once the digital copies expire (about a year or so after release), these movies will be re-issued without the digital copy disc.

borninusa · 12-19-2008, 12:15 AM

I did it! I brought Mamma Mia. It didnt hurt either.

My wife is going to have a movie night with the girls and wanted to watch that. So, I bit the bullet, went to the ole Best Buy and bought it.

Phew...I did it and I dont feel bad about doing it.

No need to respond to my rants..just sharing.

I am sure I will bring myself to watch it sooner or later. I can do it..I know I can.

Kaiju · 12-19-2008, 12:17 AM

Diddo with me. $26.00 because she wanted it.

doug2k4 · 12-19-2008, 02:39 AM

No shame borninusa. just look at it as another notch to your collection. I did the same with Kat (wife) a few months ago with Curse Of The Golden Flower. Of course, luck was with me though, 'cuz I mostly enjoyed it myself. If the PQ is awesome, at least enjoy the movie for it's visuals, but who knows, you might like it all? Good luck, and who knows, patience might prove to be a virtue? Keep The Faith...We Need It.

gymshoe · 12-21-2008, 11:34 AM

I can't make the thing work. Please help or the wife is going to kill me !

I can't get rid of Phyllidia's commentary. If I go into extras and turn it off then it changes the soundtrack to "2 ENG DTS-HD MSTE Multi" and my surround sound system can't pick it up. If I change the soundtrack back to "7 ENG Digital Stereo" then the commentary is turned back on!

Please please help.

This is what I was trying to say before when Spartan attacked me:

from IMDb:

Meryl Streep has accused film executives of overlooking female moviegoers while narrowing their target to young males. In an interview with the website Collider.com, Streep said that Universal Studios executives were surprised by the enormous box-office success of Mamma Mia! in which she stars. "Why were they surprised?" she asked rhetorically. "Because they're all men! Not that there is anything wrong with it. It just puts certain blinders on." The film, which has earned $567 million at the worldwide box office, ranks second only to The Dark Knight ($996 million) among the top-grossing movies of the year. Streep told Collider that the success was "very gratifying" to her "because it's so hard to get enough financing" for films of that sort. "I mean, the budget for that musical would have fit into the props budget for any Matrix film or, you know, Hellboy." Hellboy II, also released by Universal this year, grossed $152 million worldwide. "[Mamma Mia!] so outdid Hellboy at the box office," Streep remarked, "and you just can't get [Universal executives] to understand this. It will pay you back." Asked about a possible sequel to Mamma Mia!, Streep shot back, "Now! Now! Now!" and added that "of course" she would be interested in reprising her role.

I couldn't be happier. Such a feel good movie.

That certainly sounds like him. Did you say something about the Dark Knight?
