Upcoming Titanic SE details

[Gordon Moore]

sorry it's a bounce link but thedigitalbits documents it best...have a look:

it will be available in 2-disc and 4-disc anamorphic ala Lord of the Rings Extendeds.

I knew my procrastination would pay off :B

4-disc....here I come :T

[David Meek]

Yeah! Another non-anamorphic DVD bites the dust. :banana:

[Kevin P]

Allright! :B I've been waiting a long time for this one.

And with an October release, if all goes well it may likely coincide with, or follow shortly thereafter, the unveiling of my new home theater.

What's interesting is Titanic (the original laserdisc edition) was the movie that inspired my round of HT upgrades in the 1999-2000 time frame. Now I'll be able to enjoy an upgraded version of the DVD to go along with my 2005 HT upgrades resulting from the fire.

Wait, wait, wait... the Titanic DVD I have is non-anamorphic? !@$!%!*Y!$*!.... of course, I didn't even buy it, the in-laws gave it to us.

[Kevin P]

Suuure, Chris, blame the in-laws... :B

You know THEY would have given you the pan & scam version! Oh wait, there isn't one of Titanic.

[David Meek]

Ah yes, the old "it's the in-laws" ploy. . . (in best Inspector Clouseau voice) :

I haven't gone beyond owning the laserdisc and I'm not sure I will even go for the anamorphic new dvd. The only real thing I like about Titanic is the effects and the sounds during the sinking and I can still get that off my LD. A far better movie, and probably closer to the truth, is a B&W English film called A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. I have played TITANIC twice but have played the previous mentioned titled several times. It is a better story with more realistic characters and with much better acting to boot.

[David Meek]

You are so right, Sir George: A Night To Remember is the superior Titanic movie (and it's a Criterion no less) - although the break-up, sinking and aftermath are spectacular enough in the remake to make it worth owning for me.

[George Bellefontaine]

Yep, that's the one, Tex. Gorgeous B&W transfer.
