Fans of "Lonesome Dove" have always bemoaned the fact that a good, clear, widescreen version of the movie has never been available. If you are like me, by the time DVDs came along, you had already worn out a VHS tape and you eagerly tracked down a copy on the new-fangled disc, only to discover that the copy they transfered to DVD was actually of worse quality than the VHS tape had been...which is to say "poor" at best.
Gentlemen, a new day has dawned! The greatest Western ever made, "Lonesome Dove", has now been digitally remastered, translated into widescreen format with 5.1 surround sound and is available on Blu-Ray. The sound and picture quality of this version is nothing short of outstanding!!!! Finally, we have a version worthy of this fine story. What? You don't HAVE a Blu-Ray player? GENTLEMEN, THIS MOVIE IS WORTH BUYING A BLU-RAY PLAYER FOR!!!!!!!!!!
