I'm pleased that Time Tunnel is finally coming to DVD. My only regret is the Volume 1 decision. It's not unusual though for Fox to do this (they seem to be the only one doing it). They just release news of Alien Nation Season 1 and I don't recall any other Volume 1 sets to come our way, just DVD...
I wish they would have given a branching option for the deleted scenes like Cameron did for The Abyss. That way, everyone wins - people who like it as his and others who would like to see the whole Titanic as shot, regardless of pacing. I would imagine that branching is a additional expense -...
You got to keep this is perspective dealing with Paramount:
1. Never has been high on providing trailers. Always says that they didn't acquire the DVD rights for them. Even on new films? Come on!!!
2. Never has been one to acquire additional material that didn't belong to them. Even...
Has anyone else caught the flub on the back cover of Discs 1 & 2? On Disc 2 Episode 10: Just One Happy Family Darrin finally meets Victor , Samantha's warlock father, who, disapproving of his daughter's marriage to a mortal, simply makes his son-in-law disappear. Maurice Evans guest stars...
There's 6 sales here. My mom and sisters all LOVE this film and have been waiting for a 16x9 treatment with added special features (like the yearly review at Grand Hotel). I only hope they were adventurous enough to get some commentary from Christopher Reeve. Why do studios not forsee this...
I have the That's Entertainment Collection on laserdisc. Does anyone know what is not included from that collection on the That's Entertainment Trilogy DVD?
Ron: When you said that you were told that the original print was not in good shape ... do you mean the original negative or the first print made from the negative. If the latter, why don't studios go to the negative in cases like this?
I'm also a little surprised with the content of this release from Fox. Given Fox's track record with Independence Day and Artisan's Stargate, you would expect a little more (at least a 2-disc edition with DTS - or hopefully an announcement for a future release). And what about the Web-link to...
Being an avid LD collector - I am patiently waiting Universals DVD back catalog release (they have had to of made SOME films not involving Spielberg - which seems to be the majority of their releases). But in all fairness to Universal - just because they have a huge back catalog library -...
Received mine yesterday. Audio and Video outstanding - A+. Packaging: B+. Need to allow digipack to be removed from tin. Don't know if disk organization was as intended - but digging down to bottom to get at first disk was a pain. I eventually removed each disc and reordered them...
In defense of Paramount, you have to look at the history of the studio (especially when it comes to supplements on DVDs).
Back it the old days, it was not uncommon for studios to toss supplemental feature film content after the theatrical run. It was deemed not worth the storage - and was...
I'm afraid that for the time being, it is going to be very selective in purchasing Disney DVDs. With all the financial problems that Disney is having (theme parks, movies, stores, ...), I'm afraid that they are cutting corners on features and transfers. Based on the last Disney chat, the...
Paul McElligott: Isn' that with Alan Alda as a struggling pianist, Barbara Parkins (TV's Peyton Place) as the bewitching demon, and Jacqueline Bisset as the 'doomed' lover of Alan Alda? Can't say I remember it!!
Don't you people have this a little backwards. AP is a rip-off of Derek Flint. The Flint films were always marketed as hip-60's spy flicks - so the psychedelic art-cover reflects this.
Austin Powers is a throw back to the 60-spy flicks. A definite copy.;)
Have this on LD. Now if we can only get Universal off their butts and release How to Frame a Figg, The Reluctant Astronaut and The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
I wonder if the powers that be at Universal considered how their actions are basincally ENFORCING bootleg and piracy. Many people will probably download this stuff and burn their own VCD/DVD and make copies as well to give to family and friends. I for one was about to purchase 4 WS...
Ditto. Would buy Two Of A Kind as well (I have on LD already). Nothing like having Gene Hackman playing the voice of God jumping all over the likes of Charles Durning, Beatrice Straight and Scatman Crothers. Oliver Reed as Satan himself was quite good casting as well.
I've figured out that Widescreen presentation - means an LD transfer - Letterboxed.
However, there are a few titles I'm trying to determine their original OAR.
One of these is Blackbeard's Ghost. Currently released in Fullscreen DVD.
Cannot find any information on www.imdb.com on OAR...
Very cool!

Maybe now, Warner Bros will start to listen to REAL statistics and not biased retail chain stores that only order P&S.
This should start some rumblings in Warner Market Research. Sounds like someone is doing their job - or...
As people have pointed out here, given the fact that the new CGI-enhanced ET do very poorly in the new re-release - where do you think Universal is going to recoup their losses?
Well, you really have to look at the overall BIG picture here. 1. MOST people could care less about the original AND new version. They just want the movie, even if. Some may just stay with their VHS copies. Remember, we are talking about the everyday person. 2. The original is being...
Heads up, people. This is going to be the normal operations for Disney catalog titles, I'm afraid.
Anything that states - 1:85.1 Widescreen is in actually an LD mastered Letterbox transfer.
I have found this on many of the Disney/BV titles coming out.
It is very difficult determing any...
Add this as well: Move Over Darling and Caprice. Also the one with Rod Taylor (is that the Glass Bottom Boat)? While were on it (and since a lot of the classic comedic Doris Day is from Universal) - what about the Lana Turner/Ross Hunter classics (Madam X, Imitation of Life)?
I totally agree. When deciding between titles to buy - I alsways chose a FOX title (especially when it contains a DTS track). Fox is very good at support as well. Just look at the response to the subtitle problem mentioned in this forum. Mr. Staddon was right on it. I have many titles from...
