A movie classic - now available in Blue-Ray


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077533/combined

Anyone else ever watch this pile-of-crap movie?

I saw it back in college, one of the frats would have it playing at all their parties.

1. I'm going to skip Blue-Ray and wait for whatever replaces it. I still use LaserDiscs.
Well, I have DVD players and VCRs as well, but I don't see the point of starting over when I've got a great collection of movies on three different physical formats.

2. Oh no! You're onto them!
"Look! A new platform! Re-buy all your favorite movies AGAIN!" Beta --> VHS --> laserdisc --> DVD --> Blu-Ray...it makes the retail economy go 'round... (Okay, not really, but it is annoying!)
:rofl:

No fear--the replacement will be digital (virtual). And thank goodness.

3. I actually have seen it numerous times.
I went through a rather morbid period. But releasing this on Blu-ray seems like quite the scam. I can almost guarantee you that this transfer looks no better than DVD. With such shitty source material, you're not going to take advantage of the increased resolution and color accuracy of Blu-ray.

4. I think Blue-Ray will bring out the detailed texture of alligators and monkeys

That explains so much.
