Re: Sony to unleash 1998 version of Godzilla

So what exactly is so great about the sound of crap Sony, err, Tony?

ricola33,

You can't even read a post let alone comprehend one.

They are releasing it simply to get their BD sales numbers up which has been their strategy from day one.

I have to admit. The idea that a studio would release movies on high-def disks to sell more high-def disks sickens me!

Actually I lie. As more and more people outside of totalitarian communist countries say things like this, the more I'm motivated to stock my bomb shelter with cans of Spam. The end of Western civilization as we know it must be nearing.

Sony, err, Tony
I can take a dump in a blu-ray player and mark it Godzilla, I got spare time, but now for your customer's sake, for your children's sake, you should think about making a quality product.

Where did it say that I as excited, I only said that I used it as an audio reference to configure a 6.1 hook up. Say what you want about the movie but the audio at that time was spectacular. TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN READING A POST!!!!

You also mentioned the extras and that it was one of the first movies you owned. The way I read it you sounded pretty excited to me, and probably a few others, Sony . . . I mean, Tony. There are certainly better movies with great sound quality, so I wouldn't go around boasting Godzilla 98 as the "must have" in high-def.

Well StevePro maybe if Toshiba onwed a entertainment company they could do the same and help their format.

Of course they would but they don't, so its a moot point.

Ditto.

It's an opinion. Corporate entities frequently manipulate markets for profit. This is nothing new. You really don't have to stock up on Spam!

By the way, I LIKE Spam!

"Godzilla" '98 was a huge-budget picture for Sony ($130,000,000 almost ten years ago) with a big-name director (Roland Emmerich) who had just made a ton of money for Fox with "Independence Day." "Godzilla's" special effects and sound were as spectacular as Sony could make them, and the movie grossed over $136,000,000, meaning it made its money back and more.

No, it wasn't a very good movie. But there's certainly no reason Sony wouldn't want to promote it in high def since it did well at the box office and can now show off a high-def home-theater system.

No arguement there. Like I said, I liked the movie. I'd buy it on BD. It's a good choice to jack up their numbers.
