Welcome Back, Mr. Lime!
What I'd like to see on Blu-ray are 2 spaghetti westerns - "Death Rides a Horse" & "A Professional Gun (The Mercenary)". Both are quite famous for spaghetti westerns, but only available on Blu in Germany. I wonder if they are part of the MGM deal this time, as they are...
Bought Show Boat from Movies Unlimited a couple of weeks ago, and it was a pressed disc. They listed it as DVD-R even when I bought it, so they might still be offering the pressed discs, though.
"Barney Mends a Broken Heart" is missing the epilogue as well. If I remember correctly, the epilogue goes like this. Barney spills the beans about the Fun Girls while Peggy is attending the Andy's black eye. Peggy gets angry, and Andy screams, "BARNEY!" I thought it was a great ending for...
"Time Machine: The Journey Back" is nostalghic and sentimental. It even has a segment where 2 main actors act in what would've been after the end of the main film after over 30 years.
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is available on DVD in Japan in all anamorphic glory (and this is a print supplied by MGM), and looks simply gorgeous. Of course, MGM should release it in the U.S., though.
Actually Don Knotts left after the 5th season (the last season with B&W episodes):) There are still some good episodes in color, too, and I definitely want them as well on DVD, not just the B&W episodes. TAGS had been part of my life, watching almost all the episodes over and over again on TV...
I wish someone also releases the original as it is a remarkable art film in the history of cinema, and it certainly deserves the DVD release in the State side.
"Davy Crockett" TV series have been on Disney Channel this week at 3:00 AM, Pacific (maybe it's the same for other time zone). I watched part of an episode, but found it wasn't for me... Disneyland shows are frequently on the Disney channel, as well.
P.S. There will be only one more episode of...
But what puzzled me more is that "Woodland Cafe" was not included in the "Play All" option. You can only access it by choosing this title in the menu. To me, this was more difficult to find because we tend to look for easter eggs but not the one that's apparently visible... It's like "The...
There is another easter egg on disc 2. In the main menu, arrow up the highlight to "Mouse" (part of Mickey Mouse), and click on it. Here, you can watch a rare Mickey cartoon that advertises Nabisco cookies.
BTW, the box states that there are 26 shorts on the set, but I seem to find 27 total...
I agree with others above. The tin looks very nice and is small enough to fit in the shelves.
BTW, I wonder how long it would take before these tin sets sold out. I preordered both Mickey and Silly Simphonies tin sets and received them yesterday, only finding out that the Mickey tin set...
Yahoo has a currency converter (http://finance.yahoo.com/m3?u), and I use it all the time whenever I make purchases from the international online retailers.
Ted,
Ruscico version is in NTSC. I believe this version is more expensive than the UK PAL version (it costs about $40 from US online retailers), so the UK version might be a better choice because they are identical. At least the NTSC version is all region, though (I'm not sure of the UK...
Cinestore surely ships to U.S. I've used them a few times in the last couple of months. They even sent me a huge catalog from France for free!
I also recommend alapage.com (Link Removed alapage.com). They ship the items pretty fast, and it took only a week to CA (while it normally takes 10 to...
The Spanish edition is non-anamorphic widescreen but the picture looks pristine. I read somewhere that the Spanish edition looks actually better than the US Artisan edition which is anamorphic. Only the feature has the English subs. Extras (without subs) include the audio commentary by the...
I've been selling my multimedia items (Videos, DVDs, CDs) at eBay (sold hundreds of them), and it's definitely fun. Of course you'd have to write a good description of the item and it's very time consuming to do so, but it's overall a rewarding experience if the item gets sold at the higher...
Malata does it beautifully. The player has the x-y scaling feature and you can easily scale in, scale out while preserving the image quality. It also allows you to shift the image anywhere you like (from top to bottom, from side to side), and you can even change the aspect ratio of the image if...
N996 also has the DTS decoder and the x-y scaling capability.
Macrovision is not disabled on N996 but it's maybe due to the progressive signal it outputs.
It should also be noted that N996 is a progressive scan player which produces the image sometimes combing on certain titles. On some PAL...
Mark_Wilson, where did you order the modded JVC? I've been looking for it all over the web but can't find any. I like my Malata but would like to have a better modded player (with better picture & sound quality, and a better remote).
BTW, the new firmware for Malata is supposed to come out...
I have the same problem with my Malata, too. I can't stop the disc in the menu. I also have the lock up problem just before th movie starts. After hitting the "Play" in the menu , I find the screen goes black (after a little animation within the menu) and nothing happens there. If I press...
I normally use amazon.fr for French DVDs. They ship very quick, and the package arrives in 2 days or so to California after the ship date (I use the Express shipping option because in this way you can avoid a few weeks of dreadful wait time while paying only a few bucks more).
I ordered a DVD...
I've dealt with them a lot in the past (both VHS and DVD), and their service is excellent, IMO. Mostly it only takes a few days for the package to arrive at my door step after the order is submitted, and this is simply a great place to order some obscure Euro cult DVDs for this reason alone.
In...
