Cujo on Blu-Ray

[Property of the Overlook]

I bought Cujo on Blu-Ray last night and it is great! Has anyone else seen it on blu-ray?

Isn't that kinda like watching "The Wizard of Oz" or "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Blu-Ray?

They didn't record with Hi-Def capabilities back then, so watching it isn't all superswag?

I'm just asking. I don't know.

Hi,

I don't know either, but wasn't 35mm film stock MUCH higher definition than even the best electronic system?

Long days and pleasant nights

Watching anything on blu ray is way better than dvd. The wizard of Oz is especially supposed to look amazing with crystal clear images and fantastic sound.

C'mon guys, rabid St. Bernard slobber is pretty much the same whether it's 35mm or HD! CUJO, FOAM HOME!

You wouldnt believe how much better movies look on blu ray. I have wizard of oz on blu ray also and it absolutely does look alot better. The best movie I have seen so far on blu-ray is Top Gun.

I'm just wondering about ethics in motion picture industry marketing practices. I know very little about DVD v. Blu-Ray technology. I only know about the Blu-Ray v. High-Def DVD because it reminded me of that ancient VHS v. Betamax battle.

My PS3 has adequate Blu-Ray capability, but I've never owned a HDTV.

The whole thing reminds me of Disney and George Lucas. Re-releasing something every few years to comport with new tech when it's essentially the same thing in a new package.

Caveat emptor, I guess. Most emptors are empty in the head.

I just rented Cujo on blu-ray from Netflix and it really looks good considering how awful it looked on the first dvd version. The old dvd version was horrible and washed out looking. The blu-ray looks 100 times better and it's not cropped. I don't think the film has been taken care of very well because there are a few places in the film that look a little rough. There is a scene where Joe Cambers and his wife are discussing her trip, and it looks like some of the dialouge is dubbed in because it doesn't match her mouth. There is a nice "making of" documentary on the disc and apparently SK wrote the original draft and other writers did the actual screenplay. The documentary states that is was SK's idea to not let the boy die in the movie. It was said that SK was a little uncomfortable with the boy's death in the book and by changing it in the movie he got to have it both ways.

I never knew that! Now knowing that.... ....it was his idea, I can forgive the ending of the film
