The Eureka team deserve a round of applause for taking on this release and coming up with the goods. I watched this and "Shane" yesterday on my projector and the images were superb. Big congrats!
I think it's important to let the studios know that these issues are "big" issues and they need to be careful with their QC. This mistake with the overture is huge. It destroys the brilliant, very famous, and very memorable images that opens this movie and that's a shame. There should be no...
Jeff, I seriously doubt that a "modern" production with HD technology would come anywhere close to something like 'Lawrence of Arabia' (well over 40 years old!). HD's current resolution is miles behind it. Just because something is "new" doesn't equally equate as being "better". Today's world...
Very funny!!! :) It's kind of strange discussing ideas of offending people in a Gangsters thread. I wonder what their characters would think? "Gee, Cody, I think you really offended those folks when you plugged them with bullets..."
Not really because the guy who "looks like a wino they got of the street" was never specifically identified so who's character was actually assassinated? The world has become an uptight place. Blah! I watched 'White Heat' last night and was very impressed. Thank you Warner Brothers for...
My player is showing the H02 code and it's going to need to be repaired. Can anyone recommend a good place to take it to in NYC that will fix it for a fair price and most importantly do a good job? Thanks, Todd
I guess no one has any contact info? Anyway, I took the easy way out and returned it to DDD for an exchange. Hopefully, the replacement will not have the same problem. Has this happened to anyone else or am I just lucky? :)
I received the combo-pack of 'House of Wax' and 'The Thing' and there's a problem with the packaging. There is a large sticker holding both snapper-cases together ("Two Hot Movies, One Low Price). I tried to carefully remove it from the cases but it's ripped off all the art underneath it. Who do...
Widescreen TV's were very common in the UK in the 90's (as Ken rightfully pointed out). Also, it's very well known that Kubrick was very, very much into gadgets which makes any suggestion that he wasn't aware of widescreen sets kind of questionable. Actually, in 1999 most directors (and even...
Thank you Ron for taking this great step by contacting THX. It seems very clear that there are a lot of valid concerns about this new set. For instance, my player freezing during 'Empire' just astounded me. I've never (ever) had a disc cause this player to freeze (Panasonic RP-82)....
My copy of 'Empire' locked-up my Panasonic RP-82 player during the scene just before Han goes out to track the probe. The disc then became stuck several times during the Star Wars montage (after the FBI warning) until I removed the disc and gave the machine a rest for a few minutes off. It...
I do honestly think that the swapped surround channels was a goof and not intentional. I'm beginning to suspect that because of this and other strange mix choices (low end battle score, etc.) that it's possible the wrong 5.1 mix was used in production! Perhaps this was an earlier draft and a...
I rented 'Cold Mountain' today and I agree with the many posts citing poor video quality. Yes, the image reminded me of watching VHS. I think whatever process that was used to make this DVD presentation needs to be seriously re-examined. I own a Toshiba 57HDX82 widesceen TV.....
I find it's almost impossible to watch West Wing because NBC keeps pushing Law & Order episodes in it's time slot. Whatever happened to the days of one show, one time slot, 'nuff said??
