Can't wait for Pinocchio to hit Blu-ray. I'm excited about a lot of these releases, but Pinocchio seriously has the potential to be one of the best hi-def releases of 2009, if this year's Sleeping Beauty set is any indication.

What the hell's going on with Finding Nemo?

That was in their first promotional material - and it's nowhere to be seen.

Anything produced by Pixar that hasn't yet been released on Blu-ray needs to be release immediately. That is all.

I'd think people would be pretty excited by Pulp Fiction hitting Blu-ray.

Pulp Fiction on BD makes me feel all squirmy in my bathing suit area. Like when I was at a preview showing and nobody in the audience had any idea what they were about to see, but they knew it would be awesome.
