I'd certainly buy a Donner cut of Superman II.

Was looking forward to this excellent music video/travelogue, but late last week Amazon changed its release date from July 6 to "January 10, 2010." Other vendors also declared it suddenly unavailable. Does anyone know what happened? Thanks!

Summer School isn't the only Paramount DVD new release that Washington-DC-area Best Buy stores are selling for $9.99 instead of the web site's $12.99. Back to the Beach is also $9.99. Both had Paramount's yellow sticker that advertises "Great Movie -- Great Price," as did other Paramount catalog...

TVShowsOnDVD.com reported May 15 that the July 20 Boomtown DVD set will include only the 18 episodes from Season 1, on 5 discs in anamorphic widescreen -- not the complete series, after all. As for Season 2's six episodes, the DVDs will have three audio commentaries. No word on when Season 2's...

TV Shows on DVD.com is reporting that Save Wonderfalls.com says Fox is interested in releasing the 13 episodes on DVD, and that the release would come around Christmas:D There's definitely a trend here: "Keen Eddie," "Firefly," and now "Wonderfalls" may join the list of superb shows quickly...

I knew it was, regarding retailers (who display the item in stores), but e-tailers (online retailers)? Sorry if I wasn't clear. Is it considered breaking street date for e-tailers to ship before then? Question wasn't so much about breaking street date as finding an e-tailer whose...

What's a good online retailer for getting preorders shipped for earliest possible delivery? Ken Crane/DVD Planet and DVD Express (and more, I understand from other threads here) used to ship for likely delivery on street date, with shipments arriving before, on, or after. Since I gave them up...

On the basis I've what I've read elsewhere on this forum today, I gather it's been gone a long while. I saw several posts from former customers expressing my experience -- that one of the best online DVD retailers had gone rapidly way downhill. I stopped using it about 3 years ago after their...

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, that's a "Jan. 1" date Amazon has given them -- one often used when there's no specific date. Numerous releases on hold for years have been given "Jan. 1 [the next calendar year]" release dates.

I also want to thank Chris S for the great tip. I got free shipping, bringing the total down to $84 for all 4 tins and saving a long trip to Sam's. They shipped within 24 hours, a great first purchase from Digital Eyes. They no longer offers the complete set at a discount, having sold out of...

UltimateDisney.com says today that these three titles are no longer available for pre-order at Amazon, which has removed all details for the titles. Any info available? Let's hope Disney's making some improvements. Still waiting for "Ed Wood" ....

The original TV program "Mickey Mouse Club" premiered Oct. 3, 1955, on ABC-TV in the US, a few months after Disneyland had opened. It aired in late afternoon and quickly became a phenomenon, running with new episodes for three seasons. The fourth and final network year consisted of compilation...

videouniverse.com now lists "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" and "Third Man on the Mountain" as "Full Frame - 1.33." :angry: It gives no aspect ratio as yet for "The Three Lives of Thomasina." ultimatedisney.com has no AR details on any of these films. These are among the very best --...

According to numerous sources since it was in production in 1958, The Shaggy Dog was intended as a theatrical release. Among the reasons this would be the case is that top-billed Fred MacMurray was still starring in films -- this was before "My Three Sons" started its TV run; it's unlikely he...

Wal-Mart was my final stop Tuesday on a futile 5-store trek looking for Ed Wood. Was surprised to find the My Fair Lady display sticker at $14.84 -- a few bucks cheaper than at Sam's! I'd already bought it at BB for $16.99 but, to assauge the guilt of picking up Dude Where's My Car dirt cheap at...

Chuck: Thanks for the suggestion. It turns out that a lot more than the tuner is bad. Because of long work hours I haven't been able to study the manual, but it has the softest/blurriest picture of any VCR since my JVC lemon from 1986 (a top-of-the-line HiFi model that was trashed within 2...

Hi all, Is it always something? Finally got around to opening the JVC 9900 last night and didn't even pop in a tape before further action seemed pointless. Yes, I want the VCR for playing back to archive to DVD, but I also want to record -- and the tuner is lousy. Can't they put a decent...

Hi Mark, An admirer of your insightful posts finds it sad that you might ever consider yourself too old to enjoy a film about youth. (Maybe it's time to look at "Peter Pan" again?) I'd been planning to stop my lurking to recommend "The Toilers and the Wayfarers" to you. Now, I'm compelled...

Jay, Greatly appreciate the literate, near-poetic defense of the sometimes shockingly good VHS, which is unfortunately becoming increasingly dumbed-down (which was possible, after all!). For those who like myself want someday to put irreplaceable (S)VHS and LD onto DVD for longevity, don't...

Yes, be sure to get the DVD -- but do whatever you can to see it at least once in a (decent) theater in the current re-release. Check Internet movie listing sites, if necessary. Not only has it gotten better with every viewing, the cinematography definitely deserves to be seen in a theater...

My 6-month-old copy of "O Brother Where Art Thou" now refuses to play on 4 different players, after playing flawlessly a few times. This is my first disc to go bad. It was not scratched or damaged.

I've surfed this site for 5-1/2 years but was finally persuaded to read the rules and join today because of deep concern and disappointment regarding the path Disney seems to be charging down. Yes, at least two of the shows are edited as you've suggested, Mike. I have the DVDs and I've...

Jack, If you wait until Jan. 15, just two weeks after the next run of "Buffy" Season 1 begins on FX, you can get the DVD of Season 1, finally being released in the US after virtually a year's delay after syndication rights issues(e.g., with FX) caused several postponements. And, of course...
