    Steven Spielberg's Munich - 5/9

    I was just at Amazon to check out the info on the price drop (ordered min this morning at $27.99 and wanted to ask what was going on), and The Munich LE is listed as 'Unavailable,' again. Mine's still listed as 'Shipping Soon,' though. I wonder if they already ran out out of whatever they...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I'm not sure if this (apparently) missing sound effect has been mentioned yet: at about 17:52, a droid walks screen left and the camera pans to reveal General Grievous in a body-shaking cough, yet there's no sound for his cough at all. Something definitely seems off in this mix.

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    Ha, I was wondering if that was what might have been the issue. Shades of the old 'Blue Harvest' trick back in the early 80s. I guess they just forgot to change the name before going into duplication, or something. Sounds like the sort of thing I'd forget to do, actually...

    HTF REVIEW: Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    HI guys, I've read the last third or so of this thread, and haven't seen this mentioned, so I hope I'm not repeating anything. When I placed the ROTS disc in my Mac, the name of the DVD itself on the desktop is something like'CHARLOTTE,' not 'STAR_WARS_3,' or 'EPISODE_3,' or, well...

    Merged Thread: LOTR: ROTK - Theatrical & EE Release Dates? & DVD Features

    Well, that's interesting! Now I have to figure out a way to convince my wife to let me spend another $250 on a DVD player ;) I wonder if Toshiba's aware of this issue. it seems like pretty bad QC if this is consistent across all/most of their players (of course I guess the fact that they...

    Oddly, this is a little comforting. It measn that a) I'm not alone and b) I'm not insane.

    Merged Thread: LOTR: ROTK - Theatrical & EE Release Dates? & DVD Features

    Speaking of sound issues, i have a bit of a Query. I've noticed problems on all three EEs with the DTS 6.1 tracks when I play them on my system. I get ocasional sounds drop-outs that occur consistently when replayed. i've never noticed this issue on any other DVDs I have. However, I think these...

    Merged Thread: LOTR: ROTK - Theatrical & EE Release Dates? & DVD Features

    I did! Okay, I actually just missed having the character around. As much as I would have liked to have had Gandalf around, at least he said "I will leave now and return when the plot deems it appropriate," or something to that effect, before he rode off. Aragorn's story is being tracked a...

    Agreed. Aragorn disappears from the film for a good 20 or more minutes afte the POTD scene. Because the film has been cross-cutting between all the characters journeys so offten, I thought the shift in tone to a sort of 'surpise!' moment was a bit jarring.

    Screen removal affecting geometry?

    Well, I find the distortion form the screen removal actually kind of annoying, so it looks like I'm going to place it back from where it came ;) The main reason I had removed the screen was because of two wavy horizontal 'smudge" lines at the top and bottom of the screen. I checked the...

    Screen removal affecting geometry?

    I founf that the viewing angle was somewhat improved, and that the birghtness was definitely better. I at first thought I had sag - the lent and fresnel didn't seem perfectly sung. But when I relaced the mirror screen, i found that they still weren't perfectly snug, but all my picture...

    Screen removal affecting geometry?

    Didn't tocuh the fresnel or lenticular screen, actually (the set was restacked for me at the shop). When I have the protective screen on, everything's perfect, geometry and convergence-wise (it's at the back of the stack). It's only when the protective screen is removed completel that there's a...

    Screen removal affecting geometry?

    Hi all. This is my first post here, so any help is very appreciated :) I just took the protective screen off of my Toshiba 42HDX82 to see how it would look (I had already had it re stacked). First impressions: the picture seemed brighter and (maybe this is just my perception) the viewing...
