    2004 Box Office Predictions And Discussions

    I would expect that a significant percentage of the people who might have enjoyed Prisoner of Azkaban had already been turned off by the somewhat juvenile nature of the first two films. If the films continue to mature at the same rate the protagonist does, much as the novels have, some of this...

    Buffy Season 7 coming out earlier than expected?

    I would like to have all of the same improvements to the R1 sets, but one reason the sets might turn out better in R2 and R4 is that Fox is making about three times as much on each copy. That gives them a little more money to work with when putting the sets together. The show seems to be a lot...

    2004 Box Office Predictions And Discussions

    For anyone still interested, with this weekend's results added in, only $684,000 separate the 82-day cumes for Passion and RotK. By Thursday they should be about even with RotK moving ahead with Friday's box office. This takes nothing away from Passion being a monster hit, but it's turning into...

    2004 Box Office Predictions And Discussions

    Easter weekend is a special case for Passion. I think a 30-60% drop from last weekend's box office take is the more likely result for next weekend. I don't think this weekend's take is relevant to next weekend.

    Nicholas Nickleby better in full screen?

    Um... that's interesting. Matt is suggesting that if people take the aspect ratio into account when they make their film purchases that they are not committed to OAR and Chad says he prefers 2.35:1 films. It looks like Chad may not be committed to OAR, either. Or maybe Chad prefers action...

    Reg. 1 dvd on PAL TV w/ PowerDVD (US version)

    I will probably be using an IBM ThinkPad A21m with an ATI Rage Mobility-M AGP accellerator. The ATI is a discontinued model, so I guess it implies an old video chipset, but I'm not sure of the details.

    Reg. 1 dvd on PAL TV w/ PowerDVD (US version)

    I will be traveling to England and I would like to be able to play my Region 1 DVDs while there. Will Region 1 DVDs display on a PAL TV when using the US version of PowerDVD? Would I need any special cables to hook into a PAL television from a laptop? Would the answers be different if I were...

    Soylent Green/Omega Man/The Thing

    but who really puts that before actually being able to finally watch the film in a preferred format? Someone always says something like this, but everyone wants extras as, well, extras. Of course people want a good quality release of the film also, but is is excedingly difficult to judge a...

    IT's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World Restoration

    Robert is correct in pointing out that the people involved in remaking a film do not have a responsibility to restore the original film. On the other hand, I can think of several reasons why they might want to restore the film. First, if the elements have very little time left and MGM is not...

    Returning scratched discs to DDD

    I ordered Farscape: Season 1 from DeepDiscountDVD and 4 of the 11 discs were off their hubs and scratched. The DeepDiscountDVD policy is that I should return the set and they will send me a new one in return. I'm hesitant to do this because the odds of receiving a set with all 11 discs in good...

    Babylon 5 Disk 2/4 Problem... WB??

    I didn't get hit with the disk 2/disk 4 flaw, but I had two floaters. Disks 3 and 5 are both scratched. I was planning to watch the episodes gradually over the next month or so. Is there any way to tell if I need to replace the disks without watching them all the way through first? TIA, -Ken

    Advanced Anime Discussion Part II

    According to dictionary.com (which uses American Heritage) and Merriam-Webster Online, 'Anime' is a noun with no change between singular and plural. I would think noun or adjective, but neither site mentions adjective. -klemons

    DVD Profiler Question?

    I was surprised about Amelie's absense at first also. It turns out to appear under the title "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain". In theory, you can contribute data without having a dvd, but you would need the UPC and hopefully detailed specs about the disc. Box scans are helpful, but I...
