In our attempt to create a civil platform for "software", we are actually having an antiseptic and moot battle. These films are more than "software" - and this is really the main section of the HTF where a variety of aspects are discussed. Yes, there are other places on this forum to talk...

Herb, Great review! I have seen this several times during the initial VHS release, and once more recently. I had no idea it had a mono soundtrack, of course then, my "home theater" was a mono TV and VCR. I would slightly disagree with the Bob Eubanks scene as being needless. One of Mike...

I hate DVDs that contain elves, subliterate action stars, or "wacky" gangsters. But I guess that's more of a content complaint.

Roger Ebert says: "[Agent Cody Banks] will be compared with the two "Spy Kids" pictures, and looks more expensive and high-tech but isn't as much fun. It has a lot of skill and energy, but its wit is more predictable and less delightful. It's a well-made movie, to be sure, and will probably...

sample from Observer report: "Other film-industry sources said that the actor is furious at having been forced into the role, and that Ms. Lansing—who also declined to comment on this story—has won a small but crucial industry battle pertaining to the leverage that talent can wield over...

PaulP: Norton's in it, sure. However, be advised that he virtually sleepwalks through the role, (well documented) as he was contractually obligated to make this uninspired (though technically sufficient) movie. Hot damn! It's sorta OK! It's not fully lame! Like many of the films that get...

"I like the pole and the hole."

Mike, Ah yes! I remember that. Well, after seeing it several times, I still maintain the Holiday Special is a hoax. Long live rec.arts.whatever it was!

Hmmm. You could always get a couple of 500 disk changers and link them up... throw your cases out, and uses the booklets for wallpaper in your den... I mean Home Theater.

It's been said many times by people smarter than myself, but... Films that were made during the age of less-than-crystal digital perfection harnessed things like grain and blur for artistic and technical reasons. Jim Henson used the grain (grain being what the image is actually made of) to...

Gary->dee, Peter, Tony We must stir the appetites of the forum. The VHS is OOP but there is plenty of stock left of Amazon. I don't think it's a rights issue, probably an interest issue. But you'd think with a star like Mark Hamill with his instant geek street cred would catapult this to...

Corvette Summer. Every day on eBay, someone is so desperate for Corvette Summer they are willing to bid $15 on a used, pan-n-scan VHS tape. The movie, which is a priceless time capsule that combines the 70's muscle car craze, hot stars Mark Hamill and Annie Potts, and a really good story...

KerryK: It's tough. Very tough. I don't know if this works for you, but I took up James Bond. The good ones are great, the bad ones so bad they come around again. So it's been Spy stuff and other assorted cool things. Bond, The Prisoner, and Flint, Avengers, Dr. Who, the Muppet Show. Adam...

Ricardo, It's cool. Go ahead and pop on your ROTJ laserdisc and turn up the bass to 10. Or pop the AOTC DVD on and listen to Lucas drone about the fantastic power that being able to digitally cut and paste eyeblinks gives a director. We are both essentially on the same side here. Only I am a...

Having said all that, yes, I like Star Wars, and yes, I want the OT on DVD. It's just that by the way these posts are stacking up, you'd think Star Wars was the most important movie ever made and its temporary absence on DVD was a crime against humanity. It may just be a case of wanting what...

Wow! 8 plus pages of pure anger, with a dash of jaded DVD optimism. I understand the passion these films can evoke. However, damn! You want the OT on DVD or the Head of Lucas on a Platter? (HLP) Everybody has chimed in. However, consider: 1. The REAL original version of A New Hope...
