How the times have changed.... - Blu-ray Forum

TheForce8686 · 03-20-2009, 11:14 PM

It wasn't that long ago that Casino Royale was released on Blu Ray as the movie to tip the format war in Blu's favor. Many people on these forums were skowering the internet trying to find the most update sales numbers on it as soon as they were available.

Now....Quantum of Solace is being released and it is just another title. I am excited but there are so many titles that have been released and that are being released that the excitement isn't the same. What a difference a little time makes.

True, but I still think there are too many bad catalog titles coming out on Blu-ray instead of new release independent and less well known films of good quality. Come on, The Wedding Singer? There are also too many documentaries. Why buy what I can watch on satellite television?

I agree with you there 100%. For me, as an example, I'd love to see a movie like The Killing Fields on BD, but there's no sign of that happening and that peeves me off.

While I agree with you on the matter of "bad catalog titles" - we must always consider the fact - well, the often repeated fact - that one man's bad title is another man's favorite movie, and that there will always be buyers for a movie.

Besides, I love Planet Earth on BR, tho!

Some documentaries are great and are more than worthy of being added to people's Blu-ray library. Keep in mind that beauty in is the eye of the beholder. You may not like The Wedding Singer, but someone else may not like one of your favorites.

Just go back to 2005, VHS had just died and a lot thought DVD would be THE format...fast forward to 2006 and the best format to date comes out. Hoping blu-ray will take over soon so everything will come out on it.
