Paidgeek informed us there is going to be a cost reduction for Spiderman3 and it is not anymore going to cost $50

Absolutely it's a must-have title for me.

Had a chance to see Close Encounters on HD Net movies. It was very impressive and the special effects looked very good. Can't wait to see it on Blu -

Jaws and Close Encounters are incredible

I couldn't agree more - all 5 of the movies you listed are must haves on BD for me.

looks like we have another strong hd release on our hands. i hope the sales are up there with casino royale and 300. (key word being hope) gotta send the message to spielberg that there's love for him over here where the grass IS greener

I agree but we have to keep in mind that this is a catalog title which generally speaking have not fared as well as we would wish. With the idea of sending messages in mind I'm not a fan of this movie (and Speilberg in general - too sentimental) but I'm likely to take one for the team. At the very least my youngster will get a look and I might just have a change of heart now that I'm no longer a callous youth.

Where is that "undecided" anyway?

Same here.

As much as I'd like to think that he's all about Blu, you have to consider that if he was this much against HD, he wouldn't allow Dreamworks(the company he owns much of) to be realeased on HD DVD.

jubaiweaponx · 08-16-2007, 03:24 AM

i`ll be purchasing this one ,and hoping a top notch job is done on the pq and aq

DNR7265 · 08-16-2007, 06:12 AM

Most definitely. I've owned the VHS and DVD versions. I am pumped to see this in HD

Dave Hull · 08-16-2007, 08:48 AM

Yes I will

ZMan · 08-16-2007, 12:01 PM

I am patiently monitoring Amazon.com for the day that it goes on pre-order sale. I will definitely buy this title!

speaking of ....does anyone know the usual time gap between the date a title goes out for pre-order and its release date? (if there is consistency?)

cueman98 · 08-18-2007, 07:28 AM

Absolutely!!

Count me in on CE3K

BriS2K · 08-18-2007, 03:00 PM

When I saw this at a drive-in, I thought it was a complete snore-fest...though I was probably too young to appreciate/understand the film. I was hugely into Starwars however.

So no, since I was never a fan of CE3K and haven't even re-watched it on DVD, I will definitely skip this on BD.

Galley · 08-18-2007, 03:45 PM

Back in '77 everyone was "Star Wars this, Star Wars that". For me it was all about CE3K.

I was somewhere between 5 and 17 months old when this film came out, but when I did see it (probably around age 9 or 10) I fell in love with it. Maybe you should give it another chance.

bluflu · 08-28-2007, 10:26 PM

Just pre-ordered CE3K from Amazon.

This is my favorite all time movie. I was in collage film class when it came out and I remember the Instructor saying how great the aliens looked. A fellow student and I drove to Hollywood and saw it at the Paramount Theater. It was awesome. I also saw it during the 25th Anniversary of the Cinerama dome in Hollywood. I have the VHS, Laserdisc, DVD and will most diffidently buy the BD. I still think Spielberg should make the sequel of the return of Roy Neary.
