Thought the 3D was a complete waste on this one (as it is on so many action movies). I would have preferred a 2D presentation much more given the material. But since Hollywood insists on pushing 3D down our throats all of the big movie theaters (IMAX, RPX, ETX, etc) have it showing in 3D only...

Hey Robert. If you haven't watched it yet create the same conditions (no lights, good volume) and watch Sinister. I found it far more effective in producing chills with one of the best surround mixes I've heard in quite some time. VERY moody and most of the violence is more implied than seen.

Great! Make sure you RSVP for the event in the FB group!!

Sorry it is sold.

I have far less of a problem with Disney including a disc for their digital copies than their knack for always including a standard definition file for their digital copy. While there are other studios that do this on occasion it is certainy not the norm anymore. If I'm buying a Blu-ray edition...

Sold

What has always baffled me is why Nolan didn't decide to shoot all of the non-IMAX scenes with 70mm instead of 35mm. It would have matched better and it shouldn't have had the noise issues. I don't think it would have been budget issues either since I'm pretty sure the budget for this stomps the...

They photographed it both ways and decided black and white looked better. There is quite a bit about it in the special features. They even changed the colors of a lot of the props to work better with B&W. It is a great making of feature that shows just how much effort went into it.

Did Universal do a trade-up for Gladiator?

If the studios have to replace previous releases because they botched them up so bad, the incentive would be to get them right the first time, especially with big collector's titles, so they don't have to replace them later. Fox isn't a hero here, the mistake shouldn't have been made in the...

I guess you can call me a grump but I still feel that Fox should have a trade-in program for this. We all have sifted through the endless threads about the old release and how they botched it. Fox knows it too. Now they release essentially the exact same disc (trailers and all it sounds like)...

Just received my UK edition. Will be watching later this week. Want to touch up the calibration on my projector first to make sure everything is spot on.

I'm in!

I don't have the US version but have the UK one. I didn't have any stutter at all on it. There was one episode that I wasn't impressed at all with how they shot it (almost like they brought on a new cameraman for that one) but I saw no technical issues at all. I enjoyed the season a lot and...

Selling a mint condition Model 7900 amplifier. This is a true fully balanced design (dual differential) that delivers 300 watts per channel into 7-channels (requires two power plugs for full output!!). It is identical to the much more expensive Lexicon ZX-7 except for the face plate. The amp is...

The DVD Side conforms to the DVD specification if that is what you are looking for. The CD side does not.

Well seems Sony has something to say about Dualdisc now, and SACD: "Whereas Springsteen opted to release "Devils & Dust" only on DualDisc, jam-band fave Dave Matthews will release his new album, May 10's "Stand Up," on both DualDisc and standard CD. Labels are taking a cautious approach...

With Teeth is a DVD-A release. The 5.1 mix is 48/24 and the stereo mix is 96/24.

The album is excellent as a whole. The 5.1 mix I thought could have been a bit more agressive but I like it. I don't think the static was a loudness issue, I think it is in the track. But only on the 5.1 mix. I even switched speakers and it was still there regardless of volume, but not on...

Yep, bought it this morning and listened to it in its entirety already. Great disc, but not quite on par with The Downward Spiral in terms of aggressive 5.1 mixes. Still great though. But the last track has some weird static in the front left channel that was bothersome. Not there in the 2...

Those be the ones. Warner has been pretty good about coming through with their announcements lately.

There was talk about Guero coming out overseas in SACD but I don't know if it every materialized.

FYI Warner just announced two more DVD-A/CD combo releases. Two of the early Seal releases are coming out. Seems they like this approach better then Dualdisc.

I hear you Robert. I feel like a beta tester with both SACD and DVD-A and the end result is the disappointing Dualdisc. I am happy to see more mainstream 5.1 support and at least some DVD-A support, but it is not consistent enough in my opinion right now. If the 2 channel track is 96/24, the MC...
