Brokeback Mountain on Blu-ray
oilgun:
I was at Best Buy today and according to their flyer, BbM is coming out on Bluray on Tuesday (March 10th -$21.99 CAN). I don't know if there are ay new special features included but I doubt it. I've pretty much given up on getting a decent release.
I just checked Amazon.ca and they are selling it for $20.95 CAN. Anyone planning on getting it?
EDIT: Here are the specs:
Tech specs will see a BD-50 dual-layer disc with 1080p/VC-1 video and English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround.
Extras will match the previous HD DVD and DVD special editions, with a wealth of making-of featurettes: "A Groundbreaking Success," "Music From the Mountain," "Impressions From the Film," "On Being a Cowboy," "Directing From the Heart: Ang Lee," "From Script to Screen" and "Sharing the Story: The Making of Brokeback Mountain."
The Blu-ray will also come BD-Live-enabled, and with the My Scenes bookmarking feature.
Suggested retail price for the Blu-ray has been set at $34.99.

My friends and I chipped in and got the Hi-Def version already. You're right about the lack of special features, sorry to say.

But still no deleted scenes, even in a separate section. I'll think I'll pass.

Wonderful review by Ben Williams (although he got some details wrong...a mountain in Montana??) along with the Blu-Ray offer on Amazon.

What a beautifully erudite review. It was like rediscovering my original BBM fever all over again. I may get it simply for the enhanced music experience and greater audibility of Ennis's few but oh so poignant words.
