Disney Fucked up Armageddon
Martin
movies on DVD 2 months later than on VHS, Not only that they don't support
16X9 and for $29.95 they could at least give us some extras!!! Now some of
us say its greed toward people, but what kind of money they could make if
they release a movie after Christmas, what kind of money they make by
releasing the movie On DVD but not yet available on DIVX!! Someone please
explain to me why? and what kind of fucked up people work there. i mean
please $39.95 for SE without 16X9, Universal can do it for $34.95, thank god
they support RSDL because how fucken low can you get.
I apologize for my language but i'm pissed off.

Why is this surprising? Disney's greed for the almighty dollar is
legendary. They will sink to any low as long as it improves their profit
margin. This has been shown by their rabid lawyers who attack anyone
that defies Disney's corporate policies. Ever heard of the case where
that nursery school got sued because of having disney characters painted
on the wall? If you are looking for corporate commandoes willing to go to
any length to further it's own cause look no further than the disney
corporation. The reason they are skimping on the DVD extras now is
probably either to save that extra production cost or to wait a few
months or years before releasing the extra extra special version to rape
you twice.

I've read that it has a teaser, trailer, and Aerosmith video, which for
Disney is more than the usual amount of extras.

This actually means nothing to me since I thought Armageddon sucked anyway
(hince the subject change). Now The Black Hole (which is one movie I do
want) isn't being released by Disney on DVD but is being released by
Anchor Bay. So I don't know which is worse...I'd rather see Dickney
release it than Artifact Bay.

D(eivl)VX band wagon. X-mas forces us to purchase on their time table and
most will because it's a need. They will push any format that can guarantee
more money such as the VHS, example: the tape went bad because my kid played
it so much and I had to buy another or the consumer purchases or rents it on
another format because they know DVD owners are collectors and very body
knows that collectors have to have a fix (a purchase) and will buy it and
may just rent it too $$$ if its not available. Their best idea is to screw
the quality and jump on the quantity to get the money by making us buy
twice. O'yeah the extras, 1 year from now they'll bring out a director's
cut and most DVD addicts will buy it because they need it, the fix, and
they'll make even more money off us. They are playing with a stacked deck
of cards and we just have to call it.

Actually Anchor Bay did a nice job on Quartermass and the Pit. They are
definitely getting better at it.
Have a blast!

Day of the Dead doesn't look fantastic, so I wouldn't call it old problems.
Tombs of the Blind Dead/Return of the Blind Dead doesn't look as good as it
should either. Zombie's another recent one that should have, and could
have, been better.

DAY OF THE DEAD is not an old problem considering it came out LAST MONTH
and it is artifact hell.

My DOTD disc looks great. Are you sure you didn't just get a bad disc?

Anyone know if the LD of Zombie has the same extras as the DVD? I'm
glad I didn't get the DVD yesterday with all I've rad of it since last
night

I don't think it's his disc. I wasn't happy with DOTD, either. It is a
clean print, but the colors aren't deep and rich and there is grain in
several of the darker scenes.

I think Anchor Bay gets an unnecessary bad rap for Zombie. Roan did the
transfer that AB used for the DVD, and from what I read when the LD and DVD
came out, the picture flaws that are present on the DVD also appear on
Roan's LD. Many of those flaws were not Anchor Bay's fault. I read from one
person who compared the two versions that there really isn't any difference
between the LD and DVD quality. I've not compared the two myself.
Regardless, I don't think the Zombie DVD is as bad as some people have
said. It isn't the best DVD I've seen by any means, but it certainly isn't
the worst.

DVD ..... I think it's worth it ....
the transfer was super rich ..... however the DD5.1 was not really utilised
... in terms of the surround ...compared to other action/sci-fi titles .....
however, the amazing color and cinematography made up for the eyecatching
moments ......
If new editions are to be released later, I'll consider the extras but at
the moment, I'm contented.
Brent Wilkins
Thanks. I guess I'll get the DVD on Wednesday when I go for new
comics. Best Buy had it for $20. On my birthday, my mom said she
wouldn't buy it for me. Wonder if it's the fact my parents are
Southern Baptists, or just how sick the cover looked. Yet she would
have bought me a South Park dvd hehehehe. So I guess Wednesday I'll
be getting Zombie and Small Soldiers from the used CD place if they
found the misfiled disc and remembered to hold it for me.

It's weird: In an ad sent to video retailers, Disney said that there'd be a
Special Edition announced December 1. Needless to say, they haven't gotten
around to it yet. Perhap they're waiting for the Criterion LD to street
before they do?
