Why do they do it? Simple. Money. Because they know you'll buy it. Just like releasing the DVD before the VHS--if any VHS at all.
Fuck "Clerks." It sucked. The show, not the film. Indy will actually be 2004, after the 4th film is made. "Star Wars?" 2006 for the sextology, & it'll probably be on optical reader discs....although we're told that "Phantom Plotline" is theoretically being released in 4th quarter.

I think Blazing Saddles, Contact, Fallen, Princess Bride offer both pan & scan and WS (from my own collection).
You can always buy a bigger TV =)

And before we go, we figured some of you would enjoy more details about Artisan's Frank Herbert's Dune. The 2-disc set will street on March 20th. For an SRP of $24.98, you'll get the complete 6 hour Sci-Fi Channel miniseries (with footage not seen by American audiences) in anamorphic widescreen with English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. You'll also get some nifty supplemental materiels, including a featurette, a photo gallery, cast & crew bios, the "theatrical" trailer, TV spots, production notes and DVD-ROM featurettes as well. We really enjoyed this miniseries here at the Bits, and we can't wait for it on DVD - very cool!

They have both the full-screen and the wide-screen version. They are called 'Sorry, No Subtitles'

I myself only have 3 DVDs (Trek 2, Trek 6, and Matrix), and right now they can only be run on my PlayStation 2, but my dad bought a Pioneer Elite DVD player that will be hooke dup as soon as we find a bigger shelf to hold all the equipment for the TV on.
Some of the big DVDs for me to get will be the Ultimate Terminator 2, Jurrasic Park Box Set, Planet of the Apes Box Set, all 3 James Bond box sets, and (if it's out), the movie "Grand Prix".

I got a DVD player in December. My gripe, everything is always widescreen. I can tolerate the 16x9 widescreen, but I don't like the smaller letterbox format. I always thought they gave you the option on how to view the movie.
I don't own a DVD player, yet, but I've been told that a lot of movies have Letterbox on one side of the disc and a full size version on the other side. I love letterbox myself.

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

I also have "Gladiator" which is an excellent DVD. It has a choice of 16x9 and 4x3, plus a second disc of special features. Now if they could just put the deleted scenes in the movie where they would of been that be cool.

Paramount announced this week that they will be re-releasing Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as a Special Edition DVD, with similar treatment as given to ST:TMP. It is scheduled to be released 2nd quarter of 2002.
Looks like I'm going to sell mine on eBay ...
Paramount also announced that Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season will be released as a box-set in 2nd quarter of 2002. YAY!
Unfortunatly, Indiana Jones isn't scheduled for a 2002 DVD release. I am bummed. But cheered by TNG. But bummed by Indy. Doh!
But -- overjoyed! Both Bill & Ted flicks street on December 4th!!!!!

I want to get Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back when it comes out, but like Dogma, I'm sure they'll make a SE six months later.
According to a recent interview, Paramount said that there wont be any special edition of the rest of the Trek movies. Where exactly did you get this from?
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: Loaded Special Edition planned for February release.
