    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Bonnie and Clyde -- in Blu-Ray

    Your question is answered in the (quite good) featurette included on the disc. The director intended it to be a much more dreamlike sequence, so the DP had someone go grab a piece of screen and put it between the lens to make the soft/murky appearance that you see. As for the audio, I can't say.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Fountain

    I finally got around to watching this last night, and I've got to say that I'm still thinking about it today at work. The first 20 minutes had me very confused, but I stuck with it, and I was simply floored by my emotional response by the end of the movie. What a fantastic combination of...

    Weekly RoundUp 5-22-2007

    Crikey...where to start? Definitely getting Scrubs: Season 5, and the "Battle for Iwo Jima" set (since I waited on FoOF when it was originally released). Since I'm fairly new to John Wayne (except for 'The Quiet Man' which desperately needs a restoration), I'm thinking about "The John...

    John Wayne Films on 5/22

    I've got a good question for anybody willing to answer: I'm 25, and I haven't seen many John Wayne movies. I've seen (and really enjoyed) 'The Quiet Man'. Given the plethora of John Wayne DVDs hitting the street this Tuesday, which (either single DVDs or collections) would you suggest I look...

    New Kubrick SE's

    Anyone know anything about a Full Metal Jacket re-release on 5/15/07? There is a listing on Amazon that claims it to be Widescreen (1.66:1), which I won't believe until I see it for myself. See here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...l/-/B000P0J09C Any thoughts?

    Weekly RoundUp 5-15-2007

    Does anyone know about re-release of Full Metal Jacket? I see a listing on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...l/-/B000P0J09C I'm interested because it claims to be in Widescreen, like the new HD-DVD and Blu-Ray releases, as opposed to the 4:3 framing of all of the previous...

    Heh...I guess I just beat you by seconds...I felt bad for having to just post the question in the chat without being called, but I think it was worth it for the good news.

    Kenneth Branagh's HAMLET -- the ultimate, merged, when-oh-when thread

    Direct from the chat... "BRANAGH'S HAMLET is done, and will be out before the end of the Summer. In SD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray!" Best news I've heard in two years!

    YES! Hamlet before the end of the summer (and in all three formats)! Awesome.

    US theatrical-release films not on DVD (1977-present)

    Ken Branagh's Hamlet (Here's hoping it comes out this year, as rumor has it). Let's hope someone asks about it at the live chat with Warner in February.

    Superman: The Ultimate Collection DVD Set

    They have one in Seattle and one in Sparks, NV (outside of Reno, which is where most of their new releases on the West Coast ship from).

    Need help on 2.0/3.0 setup for apartment

    Well...after auditioning the Titans and several other small bookshelf speakers, I settled on a set of Era Design 3's (with L, R, and C). Apparently these are a brand new product, but they sounded absolutely amazing for their very small size.

    Need help on 2.0/3.0 setup for apartment

    I'm thinking of the Paradigm Titans or maybe the Atoms with some floor stands. I live in the Seattle area and I've only found one Paradigm dealer in the area. Anyone know of more?

    Need help on 2.0/3.0 setup for apartment

    I recently bought a Sony Bravia XBR 40" LCD TV and have it paired with the Oppo upscaling DVD player, and I'd really love to get a complete 5.1 setup. However, I currently live in an apartment with neighbors who don't like a lot of noise (read: bass). And equally important, I have no real way to...

    Steven Spielberg's Munich - 5/9

    Cool...Amazon now shows my 2-disc LE as "shipping soon." Looks like they figured out whatever the holdup was.

    Steven Spielberg's Munich - 5/9

    Well...at least Amazon no longer says it's unavailable...although the page now says that it ships in 6 to 11 days. I'm prepared to wait, as I don't see the point in running all over the place to find out no one has it.

    Steven Spielberg's Munich - 5/9

    I stopped by Fry's this morning (Renton, WA) and they didn't have any copies of the 2-disc LE.

    Kenneth Branagh's HAMLET -- the ultimate, merged, when-oh-when thread

    Too bad no one asked about this at the chat yesterday. It'd be nice to hear some concrete details from Warner about the features/status of this release, even if there is no release date set. We can't give up at this point!

    Weekly RoundUp 4/5/2005

    Just to let you know, I picked up The West Wing: Season 4 at Costco for $37.99. Normally, the B&M Costco warehouses are a few bucks cheaper on TV releases than they post on the costco.com website.

    What Back Catalogue Titles Are You Now Missing?

    Hmmm...off the top of my head: 1. Branagh's Hamlet - Absolutely at the top of the list. 2. The African Queen 3. Reds I'm sure I could think of more, but these stand out.

    Matrix box set shaping up

    This is kind of strange. I was shopping at XXXXXX in Tigard, OR (right outside of Portland) and I saw that they had the deluxe edition of the box set for sale already (the one with the acrylic case and Neo bust) for $84.99. They had 7 or 8 of them in stock on Saturday, 11/27. I thought about...
