I'm not going to give Sony money for a PS3, and that for me is a situation where I refuse to support blantant disregard, manipulation and dishonesty towards their supposedly valued consumers. Did you know they are intentionally disabling the cheaper PS3's emulation to force software purchases...

Thanks, man. I'm just so completely new to these formats and high-definition in general, I'm trying to keep things simplified. If this player proves too much of a hassle in the next few weeks, I still have plenty of time to back out. However, so far, so good...

I ended up buying the Samsung BD-5000 and though I haven't had many problems so far (one brief lockup), I'm aware of the audio issues and 4x3 stretching problem. I'm going to call Samsung for my own edification and then decide if this needs to go back or not. Big update: I spoke with a...

Shane, unfortunately I don't have a receiver yet and I already bought the Samsung because I had to grab it before anyone was able to reply. I didn't want to have to buy additional HDMI cables for everything and I was under the impression that Samsung was going to send out firmware updates to...

Hey everybody. I'm a longtime software forum poster, but this is really my first foray into this area (both the forum and as a consumer. I just bought a Samsung LNT4069FX 40" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV and I'm seriously considering making HD-DVD/Blu-ray my next purchase. I've read a bit about...

Thanks, Joe.

My collection is also quite large by many standards, but I find myself very happy and returning to a number of them quite often. If I don't need or want to keep them, I'll sell or trade them with stores or my friends. Now that I'm actually working in the DVD industry, it provides a lot of help...

It's on sale at Amazon.com right now for about $15. I got tired of waiting for a straight answer on this thread and just ordered it. I imagine the sale will end soon, because it's a Halloween promotion.

So nobody knows how the transfers in the set are? I am also considering a purchase, but would like to know the quality. Anyway, according to that same remake news, the 20th Anniversary edition of Child's Play from Fox Home Entertainment is right around the corner.

In film school we had a class on Sidney Lumet and I honestly can't remember if we had to sit through the entire film or if the professor gave up and turned it off halfway through. Maybe I walked out.

Minor notes as to theatrical/extended differences: Well, the dialogue and scenes I desired to see restored for pacing and expository strength were restored. The two goriest shots in the film, which I saw last year at Comicon, were also returned. There were also an added bit with Cholo I was...

Death Proof hasn't been out long enough for the distributor price to go down.

Thanks! I'll probably have to use my lunch break to make sure I get one of those.

What was in the Best Buy exclusive steelbook again? The Austin filmfestival Q&A? Anyone know how long that was?

Why do you post here?

And what were those scenes? Did he say what happened to the mini-bike sequence that was cut from the final act? Is there any hint whatsoever as to why the early press releases said the missing reel was restored, but that it never existed?

Still no responses as to the deleted stuff, huh? Darn.

Grindhouse pages 71-72, of the Planet Terror script. El Wray uses the mini-bike to drive around the base and destroy a number of tanks, among some smaller moments with Cherry taking on some soldiers too. The action scene is fully detailed on those pages, with animatics on page 91 and what looks...

Going by the script, there would be a lot of expository extensions at the Blocks' house, the hospital, the precinct and, hopefully, the base. What's disappointing for me is that reports on the extended cut seem to say that the action scene in the base doesn't exist, even though there was tons of...

Yes, I am also very interested in this info if anyone out there can provide some insight.

You mean like This Island Earth and Diabolik?

I'm willing to bet that the reason Film Crew (or Riff Tracks) isn't up to snuff is the same reason MST3K began to suffer toward the end and people like me stopped watching the series. What started off as a fun jab at the zanyness of low-budget/drive-in cinema eventually turned into mean-spirited...

Anybody hear anything about the Planet Terror discs yet?

Or maybe they won't do it at all.

All I wanted was the movie in anamorphic widescreen with a Donner commentary. Is that so hard?

So long as you acknowledge that the extended versions and Grindhouse edition will run completely different cuts of the movie. There's no way with the failure of this franchise that they'll release the 2-disc editions along with the set that reconstructs the theatrical experience, it would be too...

That or Robert Rodriguez, who contributed at least two tracks to the film. I hope it's Rodriguez too, because at least he has a reason to be there.

I'm so psyched about seeing the full cut of Planet Terror that I can't stand it. I loved the film so much so that I must have paid for Grindhouse 5 more times just to sit for Terror and the trailers before leaving (don't ask, it's pointless). I bought the Grindhouse book to find that not only...

My mistake. Thanks.

The American cut *is* the director's cut. The European cut was assembled by the producers, Dario and Claudio Argento. The only other cut was a rough edit that was screened at Cannes and is extended, but not the version the director prefers. I think you guys need to do more research on these...
