Can't wait to get home from Vegas and watch it - unless ari finds my house and convinces our dog sitter to give him my copy (but I don't think that's an actual contest yet).

I am crossing my finger they will be the ones to release "IT" on Blu-ray.
Why? Wouldn't it be better for it to come out mass-market, so that people can actually buy it without having to do so within a window of a few hours?Originally Posted by Coulrophobia
Problem is unless a new movie comes out to generate a certain buzz this type of limited release is the only shot "IT" has. Unless one of the actors does some crazy thing to warrant interest where WB might consider a re-release.Why?

Oh, I don't think that's necessarily true. That's a very popular movie; or at least a well-known one. I imagine Warner Bros. might be holding off for the 25th anniversary in 2015.
In related news: Jesus Christ, that movie aired nearly twenty-five years ago?!? Ugh...
For the record, I certainly agree that having it come out as a limited-edition Blu-ray would be preferable to it not being on Blu-ray at all. And if it happens, I'll try to buy it!

It has been re-issued (Different packaging) a few times so there is hope. It would be amazing to see in HD, and have the speakers turned up high to take advantage of that Emmy winning Bellis score.
I'd be more excited about that idea if I didn't think it was kind of a lousy movie. But still, I hope it happens; I like it enough that I would definitely upgrade.
LoL Yes it was not a great movie, but boy did it effect so many kids long after it aired. It is funny reading all the comments on Facebook sites, and YouTube. My own son back when the VHS was released tossed out my first copy (I dug it out of the trash.). He hated the movie, and to this day when I watch it he will not watch it with me. I think even the remake if it is made into a 2 Part theatrical release will have its major critics.
Oh, no doubt; that movie wrecked millions of kids for life. Gotta love that!
There's a decent article in Horrorhound this month on Christine, always a good read.

I think we are on to something
Might have to pick up a copy of that Horror Hound issue. Thanks for mentioning it!
Even though I have one coming, I couldn't resist bidding $1:
John Carpenter's Christine (1983) Bluray - SOLD OUT!!!! Stephen King Classic!
That might be a trap from Merlin. Tread lightly 1%.
That one got up to $100 pretty quickly. I guess I should have had my dad buy 2 more copies
Amazing... The part that is really incredible, it is not even really being publicized in the main stream media. It just shows you how much social media is a part of a lot of peoples lives now.That one got up to $100 pretty quickly. I guess I should have had my dad buy 2 more copies
It looks like two bidders (not me, I was out at $1) are having it out over this one.
Personally, I feel like the people who buy extra copies of these things with the express purpose of flipping them are scumbag pieces of shit. No offense.
Really? So that I understand your "scumbag piece of shit" comment, let me ask you this:
I have multiple copies of books I've picked up over the past, if I sell one, and God forbid I make a profit off it to support my nasty habit of buying books and artwork, I am a, as you put it, "scumbag piece of shit".
If I am understanding you correctly, offense taken.
In closing, if I ever see you sell an item on these boards I will protest your membership.
Sincerely,

I was referring to limited-edition releases that sell out in a matter of hours, mostly -- it seems -- to people who scoop up multiple copies with the express purpose of selling them at massively inflated prices to the people who were not lucky enough to get one before they were gone.Really?

If you fit that bill, then yes, you are indeed a scumbag piece of shit. But it doesn't sound like that's what you're talking about, so I suspect I'm not talking about you.
I thought free enterprise was the bedrock of American society.
I love that movie! One of William Shatner's best performances.
