    What's the word on Lost Highway?

    I just watched this and the picture is perfect. The DVDBeaver caps had me worried but are inaccurate. It's dark but never murky. The colors, when they appear, really stand out. When David wants to make a statement with the extreme brights it is made and I am confident that the transfer is 100%...

    The Classic Sci-fi Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1 and 2 - Set for general distribution

    I'm sure the guy selling vol 1 on Amazon for $370 is disappointed. I was this close to paying up to $100 for one but it was hard to believe that a movie like The Incredible Shrinking Man would stay out of print forever. The only drawback to this is that I will now own The Mole People. 100% MST3K.

    The Shield - Season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    Little bit of tension in the room, would you say? The cast of this show (and Deadwood) are in a seperate class. And do you notice how everyone is blowing up on TV these days? Real good!

    Law & Order - Jan 12

    Serena's sexuality was strongly suggested earlier this season and I think her reaction at the end of the show made perfect sense (as well as being well acted). Think about it. You're an unobviously gay person in a high pressure, high profile job. It doesn't matter what kind of speech your boss...

    Got Metallica 180g Vinyl?! Coming 11/23

    I was lucky enough to come across this at Aomeba in Berkeley, CA and I doubt that many of these made it to a store shelf. I love the fact that it weighs a lot and it sounds real good to me. It's too bad everyone who wants one can't have one but do we really think that Metallica will never be...

    RIP John Peel

    John Peel made the first recordings of dozens of punk bands in the 70s and they should all be rereleased. Up till a few years ago I could hear him on BBC international radio and he would do 20m of musicians I'd never heard of playing music I would likely never hear again but it was always...

    Clash 25th anniversary edition London Calling

    I understand what Charles White means about not wanting his punk rock cleaned up too much. My early Clash 45s have a punch that won't be found on CD. LC was much more professionally recorded than those records tho and I believe the CD captures it well. (and I have the Japanese vinyl that's good...

    Clash 25th anniversary edition London Calling

    London Calling was remastered just a year or two ago and sounds great. The single disc can be had for 10 bucks and I have a hard time understanding why someone wouldn't own one of these. The second disc on the el edition expensivo consists mainly of rough versions of the songs with a few...

    Elisabeth Rohm haters celebrate...

    I don't think Rohm is a bad actress, I think the writers failed to give her a characterization of any kind. Lowell was the softie, Harmon the hard-nose but when it came to poor Liz, they just gave her nothing. Considering the weakness of the stories in recent years they need to stop making the...

    Dennis Farina to replace Orbach on Law & Order...

    Nice sendoff for Lenny and I think Farina will fit in well but judging by the way they lifted Strangers on a Train (even if they did acknowledge it) it seems the writers are completely out of stories.

    Any hope for more MI-5?

    Of course it was impossible to watch on A&E but I sure enjoyed the first set. Surely they won't stop now!

    24 - Day 3 - Hour 22 - 5/11/04

    Great ending made up for a lot of contrived nonsense. The only pity is that Tony didn't catch a stray bullet. When he was arguing with Jack I couldn't help but picture him wearing a diaper and holding a rattle. Be creeped out by Chloe all you want but, unlike Tony, she takes her responsibilities...

    24 : Day 3 - 5/4/04 - Hour 21

    Tony has turned into a really cool character? Jack vs Tony in season 4? You people are incredible. Tony is a traitor to his country and should should be killed on sight. Whoever allowed a married couple to work at CTU has endangered millions. Chloe is a dedicated hero and deserves her own show.

    Who should replace Jerry Orbach on Law & Order?

    I'm a big Leslie Hope fan. She'd be great.

    24: Day 3 - 4/20/04 - Hour 19

    Pretty funny hearing Jack tell Kim that he wanted her working at CTU so that he would know she was safe when HQ was bombed with many killed at the beginning of season 2. Credibily was stretched this ep but hearing Kim say "It's my duty!" with no possible arguement from dad upped her character a...

    NYPD Blue 3/16/04

    I think it's amazing that this show is currently as good as it ever was. One part of the "new vibe" is that the cases are more mysterious and you can't call them until the very end. It's also great how they've upped the tension with the new boss and the hothead. The long break gave the...

    The Eternal Angelriffic Thread (Merged)

    I am a little worried about Gunn's transformation. It seems to me that his old abilities would serve the firm well, especially with the most recent job vacancy. It would be shocking if he was confined to a courtroom. I also thought Spike's arrival could have been handled more cleverly and worked...

    I'm calling it quits with X-Files Season Eight

    I think seasons 8&9 had better stand-alones than S7 and though the conspiracy had severe weaknesses I was satisfied with the wrap-up episodes. They are certainly overpriced so I paid $75 for a used S7 (and then saw some for $50). I'm getting all 9 and putting them away in a drawer for a while as...

    Reno 911: Funniest new show on television?

    There currently isn't a major network sitcom on the air that I can take so I'm pretty reliant on CC and Cops reruns for televised amusement. I thought this was funny enough and I liked the characters.

    Lots of Neil Young coming to DVD-A.....

    I reiterate that that stereo remasters of Neil's catalog are the current priority. I'd like to have the dough for the best new equipment but there are other joys, like analog LPs of the type The Grateful Dead just released.

    Universal - Classic Monsters, when?

    I just got Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, House of Frankenstein and The Mummy's Curse on used VHS. Oh well they were only a few bucks and we still don't know what Universals plans are. I saw The Invisible Man across the bay in SF for 17.95 and should go back and get it.

    Has anyone else bought any Alpha DVDs?

    I picked up THE HEAD, a slow, weird German horror film with transplants and other ghoulishness. It is Sinister Cinema's print; decent, nothing special. I realize that other companies put out better looking product but I can't let my taste in film be determined entirely by the quality of the...

    Lots of Neil Young coming to DVD-A.....

    When CDs first arrived Neil Young was very critical of the way they sounded and of course he was right. So why is it taking forever for his catalog to be remastered for the first time while many artists have been remastered twice? I want HDCDs in stereo before any of the fancy stuff. There was...

    The Eternal Angelriffic Thread (Merged)

    We haven't seen Angelus kill a human but it's absurd to think he hasn't done it, so why are they avoiding the issue? Are we to think he's drinking pig's blood? More to the point, he has to kill somebody important or it makes him look like a non-threat who's all talk. I was hoping for better for...

    King Crimson

    I thought this was coming out on the 10th but found it in stores this week. They are definitely rewriting old material but to good effect. The previous 2 studio albums had good and bad material and I didn't notice any bad stuff here. A big cutback on the soloing on this one so I imagine there'll...

    The following is a quote from the CNN crawl of 2/25 under celebrity birthdays: "Actress Alexis Denisof (Buffy/Angel) is 37." Perhaps his agent should mail out some press kits.

    Oz - 1/19/03

    Beecher is responsible for several murders and somehow I think he's coming back. Said's apparent death was certainly a shock. They seem to be eliminating all the leaders which could be leading to total chaos.

    24: Season 2--anybody else bail?

    "24" isn't very logical and it isn't that deep but it is a lot of fun. I'm glued.

    Nypd Blue (11/26/02)...

    There has been one "bullshit" per episode all season. At this point there are only two words you can't ever say on broadcast TV.
