Most definitely, and he wasn't the only one. I remember reading an old Greek proverb which loosely translates as "women are for children, men are for love". Also, the role of Briseis is pretty much negligible in the source material. Achilles never fell in love with her or anything like that, and...

Good to see the thread still going strong. For Jake Johnson: Best Three: Escape from New York Lawrence of Arabia Once Upon a Time in the West Many good flicks there, so again a somewhat random cross-section Worst Three: Rush Hour (or How To Stop Jackie Chan From being Fun To...

Good commentaries: -any commentary by Bey Logan on the R2 Hong Kong Legends DVDs. I don't know how he manages to dig up the incredible amount of information on each film, but if ever there were commentaries giving you information about the movie rather than just describing it, these are the...

When 20th Century Fox entered the DVD game, they released such minor fluff as Wing Commander on 1-Disc, barebones editions for the tidy sum of $35. The fact that a studio asks that kind of money for a 2-Disc SE loaded with extras these days isn't a sign of prices going up, IMO, it's a sign of...

Heh, sorry, sometimes I try to be funny while I am the only one who even realizes what I am on about. It was a reference to my first sentences, yes. Besides, I'm sure there are better things to be done in a 2 hour Amy Smart movie. One of these days I'll grow up, I promise.

Would anybody happen to know if this is the same version as the recently released R2 version? Cannot find any details on it, not even if the R2 version is anamorphic widescreen like the upcoming R1 disc. It's real cheap here, so I wouldn't mind buying it. But I haven't seen it in the shops, and...

While I love this movie more than almost any other, and I can see how the opning narration really should be removed, I simply cannot fault this DVD. I would have to agree that making a new version of this wouldn't get me to double dip.

Man, this is addictive. For Tommy G: Best Three: The Wild Bunch: Director's Cut (I can't believe I don't own this movie. But since there's supposed to be a new edition, I can wait) Se7en: Platinum Series (simply one of my all time faves) Get A Life: Volume 1 (actually, this DVD sucks...

You know, when I saw this movie in the theater, I loved it, and I can't wait to own it on DVD. But my brother said something to me that I wonder about to this day. He mentioned how Reloaded seemed to be much more successful in Europe, compared to the US. And then he said that the same would...

Could you elaborate on this, Jesse? First time I ever heard about this format.

First some more defense (half-hearted, can't defend most of it). Death Machine is a bad quality DVD and a low budget, low-brow piece of work. But Brad Dourif and the design of the Death Machine make this a guilty pleasure. Deap Blue Sea is a dumb movie, but entertaining for the $6.99 I paid for...

Let me first offer a small and pathetic defense to two of my "worst 3" DVDs. Bought Wild Wild West and Lost In Space cheap from the bargain bin in the US. Wouldn't have bought them if I had seen the movies, and I can't really be bothered to try and sell two crap R1 movies here in R2 land. I...

I generally don't like Kutcher much, but I still went to see this film with low expectations, only because Amy Smart was in it (I would watch 2 hours of Amy Smart reading the paper, so I guess this was a better alternative anyway). I ended up liking this movie a lot, and I probably would have...

Hmmm, blind buys. Never got too many of those, but let's see how far I get. Great blind buys: -Cowboy Bebop (bought the first DVD blind, got the rest recently) -Beast Cops: Collector's Edition -Beyond The Mat: Director's Cut -The Way of The Gun: Special Edition -Love Actually Blind...

I never even heard of this system until I moved to the States for a while a couple of years back. One of my new friends over there had one of them, and I refused to believe it actually worked with a stylus. Once I figured out it indeed did work that way, I felt like I needed to own one. But...

Every single movie ever made :D

Damn, this is fun, I gotta get me a piece of this action :) For Martin McNally: Best Three: Firefly: The Complete Series Futurama (all of them) Spirited Away Worst Three: Andromeda (all of them) Mr. Bean: The Animated Series: 2-Pack Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones...

Okay, this I gotta try too. R2 titles will be marked with a *. 01/01/03: FOTR: EE (and all four discs in one go, thanks hangover!) 01/02/03: Project A: Platinum Edition* 01/03/03: Dragonheart: CE 01/04/03: The Prodigal Son* 01/05/03 01/06/03 01/07/03 01/08/03 01/09/03 01/10/03...

I bet they go to DVD hell for not living up to the DVD commandments, the first of which should be: The DVD has to work

Not to dishearten any smallville fans, but couldn't this be a mix-up? With the recent R2 rumors, someone might have their facts mixed up... http://www.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?se...articleId=4987

When I read that thread on IMDB, I literally fell out of my chair. This guy is clearly not in control of his mental process if he thinks he knows how to cut a movie better than the people responsible for making them in the first place. Sure, there might be instances where editing at a later...

The movie HKL is about to release is Zu: Warriors From The Magic Mountain (original English Hong kong title, also known as Zu Warriors). The movie Disney has just butchered is the sequel to that movie, Legend Of Zu (original English hong Kong title, now confusingly renamed to Zu Warriors by...

This is most definately a crock. It has "bootleg" written all over it. Quote: "2. Playable on region 1 DVD players ( USA / North America region). For International buyers PLEASE NOTIFY US so that the appropriate coded DVD can be shipped to you." Hmmm, appropriate coded DVD? Wonder what...

Okay, since "pet peeves" were asked for, I won't bother with the obvious like no OAR, bad transfers and the like. 1. Snapper cases. Hate them. 2. Audio that can't be switched on the fly. 3. Wrinkled covers on keep cases. No good way to fix that either... 4. Menus that take ages to load...

First DVD I bought was Starship Troopers way back when it first came out. I had a DVD-ROM in my computer, and knew DVD was far superior to VHS. Let's just say that this DVD turned me into an instant DVD addict. 400+ DVDs now, and that on my modest income ;)

Okay, three titles: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I pick this one because I love the show, but I mention it as an example of good TV shows being available on DVD. I could as well mention the Sopranos, for example. Thirteen Days: Great film, great disc, great image and sound. This as an example...

Of course I am delighted that there will be a Predator SE. But the thing that made me jump up and shout was the Speed SE featured in the same ad. Lets just say that either an Australian or a UK e-tailer can expect an order for three DVDs soon (yeah, I want that Thelma & Louise SE too). I...

Damn Warner, damn them all to hell! I'd rather watch crappy VHS recordings straight from Comedy Central than reward Warner for putting SP out like this. Simply put, no season boxes, no dice! And while I am at it, where is a SP: BL&U special edition? I am sure Parker ad Stone are willing to...

I am not sure about the first two, but I can't imagine Pulse is too hard to find. I saw a copy of it in a London store less than a year ago. I didn't pick it up, since I don't have a LD player, and I was still under the impression a spiffy improved DVD was not far off...

While checking out the release dates of Buffy Season 4 and Angel Season 2 on some R2 retailer sites, I noticed that The West Wing is planned for a March 25 release date. This is a three disc set containing the first half of the first season. Does anybody have any idea if this is in widescreen (I...
