This is kind of off topic but speaking of The Shining, have you guys seen this trailer for it? http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2681181

I saw this in the theater but haven't yet watched the DVD. I remember thinking it was a compact, taut, thriller and liked it quite a bit as I had no expectations. In retrospect the film seems kind of schizophrenic as it starts like a romantic comedy then shifts into high tension and ends as a...

Just a reminder that the related links have been updated again. See post #36 [link. Lots of great reading there if you haven't already checked them out.

Silent comedy gets most of the meagre attention paid to the silent era by studios today. While the dramas are mostly relegated to specialty labels if they get released at all. A few of my favorites... The Docks of New York - von Sternberg (N/A) Broken Blossoms - Griffith (Kino) The Crowd...

Well the year is almost over so time again to reflect on this year's crop of DVD releases. There are still two weeks left in the year so take your time and give it some thought. What were your favorite DVDs this year? What made them special? What were the biggest disappointments? Which...

No kidding. If it wasn't for Bob and Barrie I'd have stopped visiting that site long ago. Firefox extensions can help with the ad problem.

Most of the recommendations I might have made have already been mentioned (except perhaps for the Flaherty documentaries - Nanook, Man of Aran and Louisiana Story) so I'll just include the link below. There are also many DVD reviews of silent films on the site so have a look...

It's hard to take issue with such a classy and respectful retrospective like this. Nevertheless, I wish commentaries could have been commissioned for some, if not all, of the included talkies. The new feature-length documentary goes a long way to alleviate this shortcoming, but those who are...

Amazing. I never got to ask my question in the chat, but they heard me any way. Needless to say I am very pleased.

Thanks Damin, I was wondering what the native pixel resolution of the screen was. So what does a higher quality codec mean? A higher quality image means less compression. So I guess this codec is capable of higher compression with less of the associated artifacting. Therefore the compression may...

If drafting form letters is necessary, it stands to reason that they have received a fair number of complaints.

Alliance Atlantis was also responsible for putting the Windex ad on that one, as well as ads on the Shall We Dance (Japanese version, I think) and Raise Your Voice DVDs.

In addition to sending letters of complaint to Alliance Atlantis and General Motors, one could also send a complaint to Advertising Standards Canada, the industry's self-regulatory body. http://www.adstandards.com/en/standards/complaints.asp External regulatory pressures could also be...

Have I missed the announcement? Could somebody post a link to the results in this thread please?
