    Sony vs. Sharp - Please help!

    I'd stay away from Sharp. I just got the 52" D62, and upon turning it on immediately noticed the 6" wide shadow running the vertical length of the screen. I had no idea about the "banding" problems before purchasing, but this is a real concern.

    Where to order City of God?

    I got the same message at Layoyo, and they cancelled my order after three days too, but they still had the special T-shirt/DVD collector's package in stock, so I ordered that instead. It was about $12 (U.S.) more than the DVD alone, but I got it really quickly in the mail - less than a week with...

    Problems with aspect ratio - City of God (R3)

    Yes, that's the same disc I have. I'm thinking this is a problem with my DVD player, not the disc. I'm using the Apex A600 - it's a real shitbox, and this is only the second time I've experimented with the region switching capability of the player - the other time was when I played my R2 Eyes...

    Problems with aspect ratio - City of God (R3)

    I just got this DVD, and when I popped it in there were no black bars on the top and bottom (yes, I'm using a 4:3 TV :frowning:). Instead the picture appeared stretched vertically to fill the screen. I played with the output modes on my DVD player: letterbox, widescreen, P&S, and I got the same...

    Supposedly terrific movies that just didn't do it for you... and why.

    The Wild Bunch Saw it once, hated it. Tried it once more about 5 years later, and hated it again. Better Luck Tomorrow Words can't express how overrated this movie is.

    Spielberg: September 11 Film Should Never Happen

    I second Lars' opinion. I would very much like to see an accurate, well researched picture (or book) from the terrorists point of view, detailing the events from conception up to, but not necessarily including, the attack itself. I also think we'll start seeing films with fictional...

    Selling my Criterion Collection

    Ha! It took me about 30 seconds to figure out what I was seeing here. I thought you were selling the titles for $3 dollars each!:D
