Starship Troopers [/b]

Does Starship Troopers have a US or UK release date yet? Haven't seen one announced - but this is a must buy for me.

[Nic Rhodes]

Yeah that shower scene is great

[Bald Monkey]

whys that Rasczak?

certainly a good title for the HD treatment IMO

Starship Troopers 2 Now thats an entirely different matter.

[ash]

Why is Cars so late? Wouldn't taht be a big seller?
But then again, those that have Blu-Ray must be single-male with no children

Oh - I guess I'll have to buy a Region C BluRay player then as no way do I want to put up with the inevitable BD25/MPEG2 of my favourite film

Starship Troopers 2

The less said about this the better IMHO

[Dave2]

Now you've got me worried. I had assumed that Asia release meant Japan and I'd be OK.

I'll have to stick with the usenet version

Yes, I suppose it could mean Japan - lets hope so
