    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Death on the Nile -- in Blu-ray

    Studio Canal released these films on Blu-ray a few years ago in Germany and the UK. I wonder if they are the same transfers?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Quiet Man (Region B) -- in Blu-ray

    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!

    "West Side Story" blu-ray Street Date:October 17th

    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...

    Blu-ray Review The Lion King 3D: Diamond Edition Blu-ray Review

    A shame they are still doing this downloading the extras nonsense. We buy the physical media because we like physical media. Listen to your customers.

    The Twilight Zone Season 4 and 5

    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...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Warner Brothers Gangster Collection (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED).

    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..."

    Yes, on second thought I agree. Good point.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Warner Brothers Gangster Collection (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED).

    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...

    Panasonic RP-82 Repair in NYC?

    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

    The Best Years of our Lives

    I have both versions and the HBO DVD looks the best. Yes, it's a flipper but it's a long film and a nice time for a break.

    Contacting Warner Bros. about ripped snappers??

    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? :)

    Contacting Warner Bros. about ripped snappers??

    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...

    Robert Harris on The Bits-Interview with Columbia's Grover Crisp Official Thread

    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...

    *** Official STAR WARS DVD Glitch Thread

    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)....

    *** Official STAR WARS DVD Glitch Thread

    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...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    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...

    Robert Harris on The Bits - 8/3/04 column - OFFICIAL THREAD

    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.....

    The middle of the end for The West Wing

    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??
