    How about re-releasing the other Warlock?

    Since the 1959 western Warlock is coming out on DVD, it reminded me that I still don't have an OAR version of the 1989 Warlock with Julian Sands and Lori Singer -- the existing R1 DVD is P&S or full-frame. Is there any hope of an OAR re-release?

    Shrek 4-D Digital Projection Technology?

    I recently saw the Shrek 4-D attraction at Universal Studios in Orlando, and I later found out that it used digital projection instead of film.

    Should I upgrade to Weird Al's Ultimate Collection?

    I've already got Weird Al's earlier DVDs: The Videos and Live. His new Ultimate Video Collection doesn't sound like it's worth upgrading to, except maybe for the remixed 5.1 audio. Has anyone compared the new DVD to the previous one?

    Is the new Halloween 3 DVD anamorphic?

    "UHF" wrecked my DVD player!

    I've had my Sony 530D DVD player for about 2.5 years now, and the only problem I've had until now is the lip-sync problem (which I had fixed by Sony). Today I watched "UHF" and the video froze for few seconds during the opening credits. Then about halfway through the film, it froze again. When I...

    Handheld cameras are driving me CRAZY!

    I just saw Changing Lanes yesterday, and I would have enjoyed it a whole lot more if the damn camera would just stand still! I have no problem with handheld cameras when they make sense -- when they're following a moving character, for instance. But in a simple two-shot or close-up where...

    How many DVDs are in your backlog?

    Woohoo! After 2.5 years of collecting DVDs (only about 150), I've finally managed to watch all of them! Until now, I've always had a backlog of about 10 to 20 that were waiting to be watched. How many DVDs do you guys have in your backlog?

    Direct-View TVs with Anamorphic Squeeze?

    I understand that several of Sony's direct-view TVs have the ability to anamorphically squeeze the picture, which preserves the full resolution of anamorphic DVDs. Are there any other manufacturers that provide this feature in their direct-view TVs, without requiring you to use the service menu?
