    Columbo Coming to Blu-ray on November 21, 2023. See Post #55!

    One of my favorites was "A Stitch in Crime" with Leonard Nimoy and Anne Francis (Season 2, Episode 6). It featured an extremely ingenious way to commit a murder. Of course, it didn't hurt that we had stars from both "Star Trek" and "Forbidden Planet" in this ep!

    Star Trek series physical media in the Paramount Plus era and legacy

    Regarding "Deep Space Nine" Remastering: Some fans have experimented with using some of the latest AI-based upscaling software for DS9 with decent results. Here's an example: DS9 Intro AI-Upscaled to 4K Perhaps Paramount could consider using one of these new, sophisticated, AI-based upscaling...

    Best Buy To Exit Physical Media Business In 2024

    My disc purchasing has waned by a large extent this year. About all I have been purchasing is Star Trek and Doctor Who titles. With almost any other title I will just rent it from iTunes or stream on Netflix or Paramount+ when they're available. However, this was largely due to finally...

    oh why not....THE ABYSS

    Since we've been waiting for a proper Home Video Release for over two decades, it goes without saying that I'll be upgrading my ancient, non-anamorphic DVDs of both "The Abyss" and "True Lies" the second the things street. If the transfers are scrubbed at the director's request, they're...

    oh why not....THE ABYSS

    What?? After ONLY 23 YEARS we're *finally* getting a proper Home Theater Widescreen Release of "The Abyss SE" to Optical Media??!! :blink: I mean -- They won't get it in Australia or in any domestic Target stores ... but BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!! :banana:

    Babylon 5 coming to blu-ray?

    Actually, the last episode of the Series was filmed at the end of production for Season 4! After they were (surprisingly) renewed for a fifth season, they held that ep back until the end of Season 5 ... Ya' know ... This is typical for me. Just two weeks ago I gave up on ever getting a...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    I enjoyed the ep, but just a warning that you may want to keep your speakers dialed down a few decibels from normal during your first viewing ...

    General Discussion Digital Movie/TV Deals

    So ... I purchased the iTunes HD version of "Babylon 5 -- The Complete Series" for $49.95 (quite the deal since the DVD *Season Sets* were about the same price) ... and they *are* 4:3 .... They look really good, but I'll be keeping my 16:9 DVD sets. Some of those 4th Season episodes really...

    General Discussion Digital Movie/TV Deals

    I still own the original DVD sets ... and they're all 16:9 as per the producer/creator's insistence. The primitive CGI effects do look a little "dodgy" since they had to be stretched in some scenes for 16:9. But you don't really watch this series expecting good VFX. I sampled the first...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    I was *really* impressed with this episode. So much so that I coerced my wife -- who is a *very* casual Star Trek fan -- to view the ep with me. She knows who Khan is, but she still got a little confused in the middle of the ep. (She kept thinking that this was the Kelvin-timeline Kirk, and...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    Actually, there are rumors out there that Apple may purchase Disney to -- among other things -- secure this content! Apple is *very serious* about this "Wearable" becoming The Next Big Thing. They are already touting it as: * The best way to listen to Surround Sound. * The best way to surf the...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    The main problem right now is that -- according to the reviews I've read -- the battery pack is only good for two hours. So it's going to be difficult to view that new "Avatar" movie in one sitting ... (I suppose the battery pack can be charging while in use?) Other than the battery pack...
