MGM Catalog Titles on Blu

[Roger Ryan]

"SOMETHING WILD? Fuck that - BLUE VELVET Blu-ray edition!!! (I'll watch anything that moves - Ha-ha-ha)"

[Der Spieler]

Cover art. But there's a different one on DVDAF.

[Feego]

BLUE Velvet on BLU-ray, starring BLUE Man Group.

They could package it in a ketchup-stained Wendy's bag and I'd still buy it.

[perkizitore]

I predict a new anniversary edition in 5 years time (or earlier) with the newly found deleted scenes plus 'It’s a Strange World – The Filming of Blue Velvet'.

[mfunk9786]

Yeah, because that always happens with Lynch films

Haha every time I read one of your posts it ends up being a sarcastic reply.

[domino harvey]

I generally like mfunk, but he does seem to be on a bit of a negative tangent lately

[mfunk9786]

I promise that it's just a coincidence! I'll try to reduce my overall sarcasm percentage.

[matrixschmatrix]

I'm sure

[Der Spieler]

Beaver weighs in on Blood Simple.

[Forrest Taft]

Paramount owns none of those. MGM owns a few, but unless Criterion can get a shot at an Optimum style boxset, I'd doubt they'd touch them.

And Hickey and Boggs is floating around in a very watchable TV Rip, sourced from the MGM-HD broadcast. A big favorite of mine. It was also available once on iTunes, might still be.

I never managed to track down that TV Rip, but MGM has released it through their MOD program.

The Apartment will be released next week. Wait, what???

[mfunk9786]

Another Earth was listed with that release date too.

[andyli]

The Apartment will be released next week. Wait, what???

That one completely slipped everyone's radar! Is it gonna be an Amazon.com exclusive?

[Feego]

The Apartment appears to have disappeared.

[dwk]

Sid and Nancy has been released as a Best Buy exclusive.

[eerik]

First review of the new West Side Story Blu-ray with some screenshots.

[Jameson281]

An early peek at some of the BLUE VELVET deleted scenes.

[dwk]

Just a heads up, Best Buy currently has the Straw Dogs Blu-ray on sale for $10 and it is one of the Blu-rays eligible for their Upgrade and Save trade-in program (trade-in any used DVD and get $5 off select Blu-rays), making it $5.

[mfunk9786]

But don't trade in the Criterion DVD, because the Blu is featureless!

[dwk]

Obviously. Do like me and trade in old MGM DVDs of titles that have been released on Blu-ray by Criterion.

[mfunk9786]

And then kick a pebble down the parking lot when the Best Buy employees tell you that they don't stock that Criterion title.

[dwk]

No, the DVD you trade-in doesn't have to be the same title you buy on Blu-ray. Any commercially produced DVD (except porn) can be traded in for $5 off any of the 140 titles on the list I linked to.

[mfunk9786]

Oh oh oh! Well that's intriguing.
