I think Blu-ray Movie sales are going to take a little dip in April - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Stiny-Ray2 · 03-25-2008, 08:00 PM

Where on DVD.

Paint It Blu · 03-25-2008, 08:01 PM

I can't wait to get Predator next month as well. I hope the transfer is good...I have bought it twice on dvd and both were sub-par.

Thats what you call quality huh....

Predator and commando arent even going to be close to that much better on Blu ray. Twister might be decent. Alien Vs Predator is a PG13 sellout and tanked at the movie theathre.

Thank you, oh Lord of Quality.

Sales may actually go up, people will be getting their refunds, and finally jump on the blu bandwagon, and spend their refund on players and movies. Just a thought! I know I may be buying a couple with my refund!

I really liked Juno, though I watched it on a tiny PSP screen. However it is a sentimental movie. The writing reminded me of Gilmore Girls. It has some funny lines but mostly it's a serious movie, about teen pregnancy.

I liked the Movie so much on the small screen that I'm taking my GF to see it tommorow in a movie theater (2nd run theater where you sit in leather seats from lincoln towncars, and eat during the movie).

Instead of attacking the taste of others, why not post your BD collection?

Then enjoy the DVDs. I'll enjoy them in 1080p. I'm sure they'll be "close to that much better on Blu ray".

AVP2 was rated R. It made $129 million worldwide, it didn't tank.

Oh god. ...Juno......

In my opinion, that was one of the worst movies of all time. If it werent for the acting - which was good enough - i would give it a 0 out of 5.

I dare you to listen to some clips of the songs on the soundtrack. They = hilariously bad.

Especially the song "Vampire".

Oh well, Thats completely my opinion. I know some people out there somehow liked the movie.

Still, I think i would rather take death over sitting through the whole thing again.

I wasn't reviewing it. Just saying that it sucked in my opinion. ...which i suppose is a review.

Your playing mind tricks on me, arent you?

Wish fox wouldn't region lock their titles as it means I cant get Juno.

April will be a slower month however of purely new releases I plan on getting (as well as buying a few back catalogue titles):

Black Sheep (UK)
Alvin And The Chipmunks (UK)
The Orphanage (Spanish or US version)
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (US version)

bajor27 · 03-25-2008, 09:16 PM

I'll be picking up the following April releases eventually:

Coyote Ugly
27 Dresses
Juno
Commando
Predator

And the next list is stuff I plan on renting before deciding

Unbreakable
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Golden Compass

There aren't really any MUST HAVEs for me in April, but it's still not a bad month.

Next month looks like a slow month for me for new releases; but that's a good thing. It gives me a chance to catch up on some of the previous releases that I haven't got around to yet. Picked up "3:10 to Yuma" and "I, Robot" today. Next week I'll probably get "Sunshine" and maybe one of the POTC series. I have over 300 standard DVDs and probably won't replace them with BDs unless it's a movie I really,really like (or find at a great sale price).

( "I Robot" and "300" are the only two BDs currently that I upgraded from DVD)

1) I don't consider it a waste if I enjoy the movie and want it for my collection. Along the same lines, if I like it and enjoy it I don't consider it sub-par. That is your opinion, not mine so it has no bearing on what I purchase, watch or enjoy.

2) Thankfully your opinion is also irrelevant in regards to what the studios release. Otherwise I'd be missing out on a lot of movies that I enjoy.

3) No, not interested in all of them but there are several I'm looking forward to and for the ones I already own on DVD, I'm looking forward to retiring them (i.e. boxing them up).

4) "ya man have fun wasting your money on Sub-par movies that shouldnt even be on Blu ray." --- Thanks man! Coming from you, that means a lot to me.
