How sad it would be...

[savage1984]

How sad it would be if we all waited patiently, some over-anxiously, for the Transformers BD release and it comes out without PCM lossless sound. LIke they got lazy and just transfered over the hd dvd version just like warners does. Oh, man Paramount would seriously have a riot on its hands.

You think they'd try to stick it to us, once more with feeling?

It's always possible.

is transformers actually coming out in BD? i bought the regular dvd and was crying when i watched it

[NovaBomb]

not very sad, I'll be happy

[savage1984]

I mean I guess I'm being optimistic if i think paramount's gonna go blu next year, but i would be on it. And when they go blu we will get TF. But we wouldn't even be able to show off bd's superiority without pcm. It would just be a shame.

Not until 2009...

No thanks, I like movies with a plot and interesting characters.

"With Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year’s top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking," Rex Reed - The New York Observer.
"I challenge you to name another movie about an alien robot come to save the world while disguised as a yellow Camaro. Isn't it just an intergalactic Herbie the Love Bug?," Kyle Smith - New York Post.
"Though he has a way with CGI toys and action set pieces, director Bay does not have a noticeable gift for making human beings come to life. Transformers' multiple earthling story lines are tedious and oddly lifeless," Kenneth Turan - Los Angeles Times.
Stop encouraging Hollywood to give us movies with special effects and twists, with no freakin plot.
To be fair, I am a man and this movie wasn't intended for adults.

[savage1984]

plot or not it would be an awesome experience on bd with pcm. Just like fantastic four rise of the silver surfer. Really fun with a kickass Home Theatre.

Megan Fox is not an interesting character?!?!?! she makes many indecent thoughts go through my head.

It just grinds my gears that a masterpiece like Close Encounters of the Third Kind hardly gets any notice, but a mindless piece of drivel gets top seller of the year.

You obviously have never taken a gander at Ms. Megan Fox.

+1

she carried the movie IMO. The writing was piss poor, they action was fake, but she is sexy and its worth every penny of purchase!

I am not to disappointed with titles that I don't really love. But for titles such as DISNEY CLASSICs, PCM is a must or else, I'd be disappointed.

[savage1984]

i can live with that. PCM is just so i don't know, yummy. That came out wrong.

[gumpaholic]

Don't care if they came out with Transformers on BD because the movie stunk (I can still smell the stupidity of it now!)

[Living Near Shamu]

Even now I try to stay away from watching SD dvds from other studios. Somehow I feel like I'm cheating... lol

[Maxell]

they probably will. All the neutral titles I've seen look like hd-dvd port overs, not utilizing the potential of blu-ray (more space for sound and bandwidth per second).

[broganreynik]

I think it'd be kinda funny if Paramount doesn't release Transformers for like 2 years. Not gonna happen, I'd just think it'd be somewhat funny cuz of everyone drooling for this crap on Blu.

EDIT: Changed my mind. It would suck, because then we'd have to put up with everyone not only drooling and waiting and talking about it, but then the *****ing because they haven't released it yet. So in all actuality, I hope they release it right away so everyone will just shut up about it and move on.

That would really show paramounts lack of commitment to Blu Ray.

I don't think that's too far from the truth. I have 8 titles from Paramount and none of them are lossless (MI series and Shooter included). So it makes me wonder if any of the Paramount titles have lossless audio, and if they weren't already doing a direct HD transfer back when they were supporting Blu?
