Sky, STARGATE: 15th Anniversary Edition is receiving a brand new remaster of which the title will be released onto October 27th. The release I owned just had the film on a single layer BD which was encoded with MPEG2. There's no doubt the 15th Anniversary release will be using AVC since it's what the Optimum UK BD Region B release used.

Even though I wouldn't purchase it seperately, I'm buying Planet of the Apes (1968) which I highly want and sub-par BD-25/MPEG2/Commentary-only release of PotA (2001) from Amazon as a double thing for only $25.99. I'm still keeping the nice and fancy 35th Anniversary shiny digipak (2.35:1 of course) of PotA 1968 and 2-Disc Special Edition of PotA (2001). I figure this will give me an excuse to gradually purchase the Planet of the Apes sequels on Blu-ray disc. But if I had a choice, I'd never currently buy Planet of the Apes (2001) seperately and would wait for a double dip. Yes I did enjoy Tim Burtons version and of course the 1968 original.

Another nominee for the shitlist is PATTON since it was scrubbed of film grain. I can't think of any others at the moment. Getting tired.
