Has Paramount given up?

[Switchblade9]

I'm getting really tired of studios just slapping a blu-ray sticker on a marginally hi-def title and palming it off on us. No effort has been put into many of these titles and yet they expect us to double and in some cases triple dip so they can fatten their coffers with a minimum of effort. "Time Bandits" comes to mind. I read the reviews and thought "how bad can it be." Well, its bad. "Predator" is another especially when they put out their super duper "Ultimate Hunter Edition." I've owned this movie in about a dozen formats now; how many more will I be buying before I get a decent hi-def transfer that doesn't look as though it was shot through a Vaseline filter? Unless its a movie I've been waiting for for years and don't have an SD copy, I will refrain from buying these half baked catalog titles. If we all hold off, maybe, just MAYBE, the studios will get the message.
