    No love for Dr. Who

    I don't have all the released titles and don't plan to. I've picked out the ones I wanted and left the others for my own reasons. However, would I like to see these come out a bit faster? Yes. Though I would not like to see that happen at the expense of the disc quality ... something that has...

    The Great Escape...not so great

    I thank you also about this release version ... was given a copy of the previous dvd as a gift so I can't complain about spending my own money. Figured I'd hold onto it until this came out and replace if it was worthy ... again, thanks Roger for letting us all know :frowning:

    Questions regarding Xbox live from newbie player

    Okay, hubby and I got our Xbox as an xmas gift and have been playing along fine. We've been looking at running cables or possibly wireless so we can try the "Live" option. The questions are as follows: Which is a better recommendation, wired or wireless? Are there any issues we should be...

    I'll add the after credit farting scene in "A Knights Tale" ... silly, but funny :)

    DR. Who and DVD Suggestions

    Dave Scarpa: I have several of these discs (7 titles plus "The Key to Time" box set along with the Cushing box set) and all of the ones I've had time to watch (which is less than half of the ones I own) can be viewed in either their serialized episodes, or in "movie" format. I can't...

    Adventures of Robin Hood DVD Question

    DVD is wonderful to watch ... especially if you're like me and have tried to sit through it on tv broadcasts. The picture is nice and clear and there is an option to run it with the music only (love that :)) I'm not too sure about the commentary track since I've only listened to a short bit of...

    Uneducated clerks

    What always gets to me about these rude clerks is that they seem to be the first to scream when they are the customer and get one of their own serving them :thumbsdown:

    Doctor Who: Confirmation on two more releases at last!

    Very cool on the release date (scribbles down on calendar so I don't forget). The release order does seem to be a bit odd at times, but I'm just glad they're being released :)

    Japanese Animation

    Future Shop stores are notorious for carrying only a few anime titles, and then only 1 or 2 copies at most. They did have lots of copies of things like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away when it was first released. Now, they usually only have 1,2 or 3 copies in each store. That said ... if...

    Red Dwarf 3

    Silly question this early I know, but will they release Series 3 & 4 together like they did 1 & 2?? The RD site only seems to list Series 3 *hmmm* I'll try to be patient while waiting *runs off to pop series 1 & 2 back into dvd player*

    Childhood memory returns

    *waves hands madly in air* Mememememe!! I'm a huge Gerry Anderson fan too ... Thunderbirds was my into :D Although I must admit that Space 1999 wasn't among my fav's (not sure why *shrug*) and I haven't bought any of those discs, I do have the entire Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet so far...

    HTF REVIEW: "The Transporter" (with screenshots)

    Thanks Ron for doing this review :emoji_thumbsup:, confirms what I was hoping the movie was going to be since we missed it in theatres. Definately going to be rented in my house ... hubby and I both like action films and Jason Statham is good in these types of roles (like "The One" and...

    Suggestions for "Rewatchable" War Movies?

    Thought of another one that deserves a mention ... an older film, in black and white (on purpose btw) and is sort of anti-nuclear... On The Beach (1959 version) Here's the IMDB link if no one knows what I'm talking about click here Well done film and I remember seeing it once (a...

    The Mummy 3 without Brendan Fraser???

    Matthew and Paul ... I enjoyed both Mummy and Mummy Returns as well. Those cheezy laughs are enough for me to forgive some of the shortcomings with the Scorpion King bits. I ran out and bought both as soon as they were first released ... the wear on the package is proof that I've enjoyed...

    Robin Hood: Special Edition (2 Disc Set)

    Count me in for buying both the Errol Flynn and the Costner (SE edition) versions if/when they ever become available. Rickman is hillarious "and cancel Christmas" :D

    Suggestions for "Rewatchable" War Movies?

    Most of the good ones have already been listed, but I'll add in "Memphis Belle" Older titles I'd also include would be "Run Silent, Run Deep" and "Two Women" (not for everyone I know). Although using war as the background, I'd also add: South Pacific Paradise Road Empire of the...

    Born Free or Hatari! ?

    When in doubt ... rent both and choose which to buy from there. *shrug* That's what I advise people to do since what one person likes about a particular movie might not be what someone else enjoys. Comments in this thread regarding Rio Bravo vs Hatari are glaring examples of this ... and because...

    Where's my Smeggin' Red Dwarf?

    Kwang Suh ... where did you see them? According to the Future Shop and the CNL.com websites, Red Dwarf isn't due out in Canada until March 4th?? I didn't get a chance to actually run into my regular store to see if they had them on the shelves though. I'll definately be picking these up...

    Novice Anime Discussion Part I

    I've recommended "Princess Mononoke" for lots of newbies to anime with very positive results :-) And don't forget the anime "Metropolis" ... can be a bit confusing for some newbies at times, but so beautiful that the couple of people I had watch it were impressed by the beautiful visuals...

    Avi Arad talks Wolverine, Storm, Blade III and other projects

    Regarding Punisher ... The Rock couldn't do any worse than the Dolph Lundgren version ... although, even that one could have been worse. Okay, maybe not :b

    Quick DVD question

    Good question David :-) I'd asked about washing dvd's in a thread (which I can't seem to find) about a dvd being stuck onto a popcorn bag. A couple of people posted about how the butter stuff had gotten onto the disc ... so I wondered about washing. I have those dry wipe things for...
