Which studio would you rather have exclusive to bd?

for me i would have paramount, i really want transformers on bd

paramount just has better movies than fox, IMO

supersix4 · 08-20-2007, 08:18 PM

I think fox can bring it home if they are able to get starwars for blu only who needs dreamworks exc.

Its all about money, who carers how many people you screw over as long as you have $. HD Dead gave them alot of $ to screw blu over.

cdblu · 08-20-2007, 08:22 PM

To be honest transformers was a good movie IMO, not great. I would like to have films from both studios but if I had to choose I would go with Fox. Simply because live free or die hard was one of the best movies of the summer, and I'm a big simpsons fan.

I'ld rather have both. BDA need to go after the remaining companies and try to get LOTR before HD-DVD does. We can't take another blow like this one

Dotpattern · 08-20-2007, 08:36 PM

Both studios have great movies under their belt. But as things are, I would prefer Fox over Paramount. Fox has the Die Hard movies, the Alien and Predator movies, The X-Men, The Omen, Star Wars (distribution rights only), The Simpsons, The X-Files and every show on Fox including Firefly and 24 and some classics like Big Trouble in Little China (you KNOW it's a classic), Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Napoleon Dynamite, Independence Day, Fight Club, Office Space, The Planet of the Apes movies, etc.

So stay Blu.

I do have to admit that I was shocked by the Paramount announcement, but I can also honestly say that if we had to lose an exclusive studio, I'm glad it was Paramount. I like Fox's catalog much better.

dialog_gvf · 08-20-2007, 08:37 PM

Honestly, the Fox movie and TV catalog makes it a no brainer.

I'm not saying there aren't some killer titles in the Paramount catalog. But, let's see them release them. The piracy fear (which, will highten at the first bootlegs on Blu-ray) is going to keep the key catalogue locked away.

It has been Fox's releases that have been missed for many months. And Paramount wasn't doing lossless until recently.

Watch the PQ/AQ of Paramount releases fall off the cliff.

That would not surprise me. Free encoding ala Universal.

Fox just helped my holiday season!

movies3 · 08-20-2007, 08:51 PM

Fox! :d

scott87 · 08-20-2007, 08:54 PM

Fox! Paramount can go shove it where the sun don't shine they have lost my respect!

Blus Brother · 08-20-2007, 08:54 PM

FOX all the way for me - I am not going to cry over 1 movie (transformers). I thought Superbad was better than transformers. By the way, Superbad is hilarious and made by SONY pictures, can you say Blu exclusive?
