Wasn't I talking about this movie the other day? :D

Anyhow, it's interesting that stuff from Something Weird Video is being released through blu-ray. I do wonder how it's going to look since this stuff isn't known for its high definition transfers.

Anyway, have we gotten a Birds blu-ray yet? I was watching the dvd of said movie and my does it ever need to be cleaned up.

I reckon this is going to look as good as the original print will allow.

A new HD transfer sounds promising. Some of the stuff from Something Weird like Basket Case can definitely be improved upon picture. Other, should I say with even less production values, not so much, but that's part of the charm. ;)

And I still want to watch a silent blu-ray to see if they look better than DVD editions.

**** YES!

If you've never seen this movie, it is one of the funniest over-the-top, so-bad-it's-good movies I've ever seen. I lent my DVD of it out to someone and never saw it again, so I'll be picking this up for sure.
