Warner Brother's Q1 Lineup

Warner Brother’s Q1 lineup was announced this week at the Eglinton Grand in Toronto. Half frozen upon arrival I skipped the Oscar themed red carpet and Harry Potter drinks, choosing instead to park myself in a corner and talk shop with Rue Morgue and EYE Weekly while we waited for the proverbial dinner bell.

WHV Q1

After our (delicious) steaks there was a brief address, regarding box office successes (polite clapping), mention of the new Mortal Kombat game (loud clapping, from me) and anti-piracy messaging (dutiful head nodding).

Then it was off to the line-up!

Big Love season 4 on DVD
Ricky Gervais season 1 on DVD
Funny or Die season 1 on DVD
All the President’s Men on Blu-ray

Most titles were to be expected, but Once Upon a Time in America will be the director’s cut that was screened at Cannes and this is All The President’s Men debut on Blu-ray. Following that announcement we were collectively encouraged to chant: “deep throat!” Which, at the very least, was not to be expected.
