I just spoke with my friend who saw it at Air and Space’s 4K laser IMAX last night. He loved it and was blown away. He’s not one to watch films for technical issues (he simply gets too engrossed, as one should!). He pointed out two things that stood out, one he thought was good (folks here may...

I want to thank many folks in this thread for your detailed insights, laudatory and critical alike. I was finally able to see this last night with a friend at a 2K IMAX. Yes, there are quibbles but what an immense treat. “Don’t let the great be the enemy of the [very] good” indeed. For me...

Thanks for this post. So far it’s been the best, most specific reporting I’ve encountered. Two friends who can’t coordinate want to see it and one only has today open. Looks like I may go twice. If so, that justifies a 3-month go at A-List. I realize you have no magical knowledge but if I...

Thank you! This was my only stumbling block. Can't wait to finally retire my DVD.

Sorry for the lag. I'm a born lurker... and forgetful! I don't have it in front of me but I'd describe it as quick access key to toggling many basic settings (like 3D). I'm new to the Hub-based Harmony so I'm outta my depth. My understanding is that the 203 programming was pretty much the...

Thanks for this post. Nice to hear it's working well. Below are my similar impressions and, near the end, a question and setting tip. (Also, thanks for years of roundups!) Like you, I'm not the ideal person to elaborate on PQ/AQ but I've found this player absolutely matches the performance...

In case this may reassure anyone about their own replacement, here is my timeline: June 22 (the day the program was announced) I emailed them my info. June 29 they responded via email about how it'll work. July 7 I received the FedEx mailer to send out my copy. July 7 I sent it the same day...

I like to think it's a sly homage to Filmation's recycled footage and shots with characters' mouths obscured to conceal such shots with dialogue. Bravo, sirs!

When I bought the Blu-ray (specifically for this episode's extended cut and commentary) I hadn't seen "Measure of a Man" possibly since a syndicated rerun ages ago -- certainly before I became a film buff. When I watched the closing last year I was immediately struck with a familiarity in the...

Flawlessly logical. I only wish I could find pdf files of the booklets online. I've given up trying to read most CD booklets. Of all things, I've had the hardest time with the FSM Trek II set. My booklet had several pages with unreadably blurry text. I was able to get a replacement booklet...

I'd say thank you but your post just cost me $192; I finally plunked down for the 15 CD Star Trek TOS soundtrack set. I've been holding off since having is sometimes not so pleasurable as wanting… or something like that. LLAP, sir.

A different kind of trivia. I just saw Neil DeGrassi Tyson on CNN and through the magic of HD was able to see that his gray sideburns appear to be Starfleet regulation.

Yep I'm no expert but I don't take him for an idiot. Also on that forum (Steve Hoffman site), another fellow going by ggergm posted a link (http://trekmovie.com/2006/09/13/daren-dochterman-talks-trek-enhanced/) to a 2006 interview with Daren Dochterman, who worked directly with Wise on the 2001...

---- I've read that post and others by him. I was also surprised he was unaware of Wise's 2001 cut but I generally take his information as reliable. I'd love to see that shorter edit... after they put the 2001 cut on Blu, of course.

Sorry if this drifts off-topic but these posts reminded me of the seizure of Roddy McDowall's private collection in the '70s and thought it was worth mentioning. From IMDB (so take the details with a grain or two of salt): "In 1974 the FBI raided [McDowall's] home and seized his collection of...

If I'm reading right, you're talking about Trombone Shorty. Sound Opinions features him in their hour long podcast/broadcast (dated 12/4). I haven't listened to that installment, but it's a great program.

Thanks, Mike! I'm really tempted by Walking Dead. $9.99 for the DVD might be too much to pass up, but I've only been able to find reliable Blu reviews. Can anyone post a quick impression of the SD PQ/AQ?

For what it's worth, I find the early albums in mono much better than the hard-panning new stereo mixes which, if listened to on earphones, is a bit schizophrenic. I was raised basically with the 1987 CDs and find that from Sgt. Pepper onward I prefer the stereo mixes, but appreciate some of...

John Lennon's Facebook page is offering a free iTunes download of the "stripped down" version of "(Just Like) Starting Over". Link. If that doesn't work, check facebook.com/johnlennon

Damn you, Amazon!  Just bought this from them the other day for $5.99.  Still worth it.

Thanks for the pointer. Purchased the set on your recommendation a few hours ago and am quite pleased... though equally curious about the Louis Armstrong track -- without giving it too much thought I'd have to guess it's a vintage vocal with contemporary backing.

Try this link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-20002223-261.html I'll edit the original post to make sure it works...

I spotted this article, "Amazon exec slams some in music sector", in my newsfeed this morning and thought you all might find it interesting. The article's prominent snippet (below) appears in the full, unedited farewell memo from Scott Ambrose Reilly, who seems to have spearheaded what this...

It's an acquired taste, but I find the film is very rewarding. Thanks for the review. Mike, I gave my old copy as a gift when this was announced, but Handbraked it onto my iPod. It makes a suprisingly good listen! I'm hoping to get a fair deal on the CC through DD.com if they have their sale...

Deep Discount has BOOMERANG! listed with a release date of 9/2/08.
