    Office Season Two Question?

    Without echoing what has been said, this was a great set. Because of the large number of cuts from "live action" to the "interviews" the deleted scenes could easily have fit back in without feeling out of place (and it's not like there are a lot of set changes that would make things look odd)...

    The FINAL VHS releases??

    This is actually an interesting thread, one that I've never really considered. I mean, I know the studios don't produce laserdiscs anymore, I just never really thought about which was THE last one printed. I would have to think that VHS will still survive at least until next year. With the...

    HTF REVIEW: LOST - Seaon Two - Unquestionably Recommended

    There was never a doubt in my mind that I would be owning this. In fact, I'm heading to the local b&m after work this morning to pick it up. You review has made me more eager to catch up before the new season starts up.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friends With Money

    My wife wanted to catch this in the theaters, but it didn't stay too long around here. I rented it for her and we gave it a watch the other night. Overall the film itself was pretty good--even as a "chick flick" I found myself paying more attention that I would usually admit to. Jennifer...

    Blind Buys - how have you done?

    I think the definition of "blind buy" needs to be defined. Not picking on anyone, but to not have seen some of those listed already... I define it as "never watched a single episode". My list of blind buys, therefore, would include: 1) Revelations (technically a mini-series, I guess) 2)...

    Films You've Intently Studied

    Raging Bull and M And as embarrassed as I am to admit it, the time travelling sequences from the Guy Pierce version of Time Machine.

    Worst use of CGI in a movie?

    Certainly not the worst by any means, but the most recent of eyebrow-raising scenes were any of the wolf scenes from Day After Tomorrow.

    *** Official THE DA VINCI CODE Review Thread

    I went to see this last weekend with my wife. She enjoyed it very much, but has not really kept up with a lot of the "is this true history or not" type of stuff on the magazine covers or on TLC (or pick your channel). I read the book last year, in fact quicker than I read most books. I...

    The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell

    I put this and Crashers in the same boat--both laugh out loud movies that my wife hated. Oh well. The only negative comment I have about Virgin was the language--not that I wasn't expecting it with an R rating, but certain words (that I clearly cannot type here) I just got tired of hearing over...

    HTF REVIEW: LOST - the complete first season - ADDICTIVELY RECOMMENDED!!!

    This is the only (hour-long) show that I made it a point to watch in some time. As Ron mentioned, the breaks and reruns did make it a little difficult to figure out when a new episode was coming on. I'll say it this way, though--I'd buy this set if it were only coming out on grainy vhs with...

    War of the Worlds (2005)

    Having just seen the movie yesterday, I do have a few comments as well as the usual nitpicks. First off, I'd like to say that not once did I think of real life Tabloid Tom. Despite some of the arguments for him being either a jerk or Father of the Year material, I think he was completely...

    'AMERICAN PSYCHO' Rated or unrated?

    June 21st. Yeah, I'll swing by and pick it up. I think I have to return some videos on that day anyway.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Anchorman (Unrated, Uncut & Uncalled For)

    Appreciate the review--I agree the transfer was soft. I also want to say that there are only two comedies where I have laughed so hard that my stomach and chest hurt--Anchorman and Something About Mary. Both movies I saw more than once in the theater. Yes, this movie is not going to be...

    Best Buy Bonus discs....Why?

    I wonder what the breakdown of each of those is... Also, Matt, back to your original point--if the exclusive discs were sold at only SunCoast, for example, we'd be seeing the exact same thread by someone else, substituting SunCoast for BB.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Top Gun: Special Collector's Edition (Highly Recommended)

    There's so much to say about this movie! It's not in the top 10 by any means, but not having a good version of Top Gun for this long long is like eating a sandwich without bread. When's the last time you saw people like Tom Skerritt and Michael Ironside play "cool" people?

    A Few Words About A few words about... The Day After Tomorrow

    Has there been an "official" announcement about the SE for this? Aside from the wolves which I found to be very fake and 'out of place' I really liked this movie. If I have to wait forever for the SE, I guess I might get this one.

    Anyone feel like they always have to "upgrade" their DVD collection?

    I've upgraded maybe a dozen or so. The most distinct ones I remember were Memento and Sixth Sense. I couldn't get rid of the old copies, so I ended up just giving them to my dad. Memento is just not his type of movie--if it doesn't have space ships or killer insects or morphing humanoids he's...

    "Aladdin"--2 disc set or box set?

    You can't beat a three-for-one! I also went with the 2-disc set. I went through the same quandary with the Shawshank set until I saw the price on that one, too.

    Easy Rider 35th Anniversary Edition - worth buying?

    The local Best Buy here has several, but they are mixed in with the non-35th version. I was going to pick it up but decided to hold off, though I don't really know why. I'll probably ask for it as a stocking stuffer.

    Get Shorty Collector's Edition Feb 22

    I agree, I hope Be Cool is good as well. The book was, IMHO, not nearly as "fun" to read as Get Shorty was, though it may because of my familiarity with Get Shorty... I can see a spin-off thread--best Elmore Leonard-based movies.

    Get Shorty Collector's Edition Feb 22

    Double-dipping this one in a heartbeat! This is one of my favorite movies-about-movies. Don't forget, it's also got a then-relatively-unknown James Gandolfini with his different-color hibiscus shits. "I've seen better film on teeth." "You speak very good English, Mr. Escobar." This is such a...

    Three Kings S.E.

    I'd be interested in seeing the docs on Oct 19th. However, I must have missed something here--what's the release date on the SE for this film? It's one of those that I've just never gotten around to buying, so I guess a little longer won't hurt me.

    Wireless users - change your defaults!

    OK, I edited my post... It was meant as just a heads-up. Since the SSIDs were, for the most part, the default, I have no idea which of my neighbors owned the routers. The ones that we do know, though, I don't know that they're the most technical in nature. I also don't think they are guarding...

    Anyone using Linksys Network Storage Link?

    Hi folks, I just bought an 802.11g router/card. I'm using the card with my laptop and have my desktop plugged directly into the router. I was going to buy an external harddrive to have, well, more storage for both computers, and for the portability between home and the office. I've been...

    Wireless users - change your defaults!

    Hi all, I just recently purchased an 802.11g wireless router and card for my laptop. Though I've been curious about other neighborhood wi-fi people, I was able to hold off until this evening. I ran Linksys' built-in "Site Survey" and it found 6 wireless networks. Of those 6, three were...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    After rewatching the "Empire of Dreams" on A&E (yes, I TiVo'd it), I can't wait to see the full one on the extras disc. It's good to see that they were able to get all the available people for interviews. I love all the footage of Mann's, as well as the footprints in Hollywood. I only hope they...

    The Value of Criterion

    In trying to be as candid as possible, a definite downside to Criterion is that after a few, you'll want to become a completionist. With the exception of the few mentioned already (the Armageddons of the bunch), they really do have a wonderful array of great films. Yes, there are some out there...

    Rounders SE coming 9/7

    This is great--Rounders is one of the many I've barely been able to keep myself from buying while holding my breath for a better release! It makes me wanna sit down with Teddy KGB and load up on Oreos while watching soccer (or football, depending on where you live!). Bring it on! -Joe
