    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: James Stewart: The Signature Collection (RECOMMENDED).

    Not an error? Fine, so maybe Warner doesn't think this movie is worthy of a restoration...despite the fact that many people on this thread and elsewhere seem to find it the most interesting, anticipated movie in the boxset. But, fine, let's say you're right and Warner considers The Naked Spur...

    Any word on Animaniacs or Pinky & Brain?

    I've been worried about edited content in the Canadian version too, since Warner's done that before. What kind of manufacturing problem? My local Future Shop told me that they received copies of Animaniacs a week ago, but were told to hold onto them, and not put them on shelves 'til August...

    Astaire-Rogers Volume 2 for October 17th

    Sorry to see that nobody else seems to care Warner's not including *all* the trailers for these films, or giving the boxset a similar treatment to their Gangster/Tough Guys collections - with new featurettes and commentaries for each movie. Don't classic musicals, especially those starring...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: James Stewart: The Signature Collection (RECOMMENDED).

    Damn shame. I'm still waiting for my boxset to arrive in the mail. I almost wish I could cancel it...but...still love Jimmy Stewart. And what are the odds WB will re-do The Naked Spur? But if they do, I'll buy it again, being the sucker I am. I'm glad to see that once in awhile, even one of...

    WB Signature Box Sets

    I watched The V.I.P.'s on TCM to see what the fuss was over Taylor & Burton as a screen team. And I've concluded that they were well-matched. If you want to watch 2 blocks of wood. :P Seriously...non-emotive, stiff acting from both of them. I enjoyed the movie overall though - luckily there were...

    COOPER, BRANDO, AND NEWMAN BOXSETS IN NOVEMBER

    I feel for you, Andy. It's funny, TCM is trying to target the youth market, yet this Warner boxset-exclusive thing only alienates younger collectors who are on a budget. And older collectors on a budget. ;) I mean, the boxsets are pretty affordably priced, but they're only a good deal if you...

    WB Signature Box Sets

    Okay...in that case, I'll replace it with the promised 2-disc special edition of An American In Paris. This is fun! Imagine actually having the job of choosing titles for Warner boxsets... how do I apply for that position? ;)

    WB Signature Box Sets

    I'm with you Corey...I'd buy every single one of those! Might as well post a few of my wants here as well, in case Warner's reading. GENE KELLY: Thousands Cheer (Kathryn Grayson, Mary Astor, Judy Garland, Red Skelton, etc, etc) Living In A Big Way (Marie McDonald, Charles Winninger...

    COOPER, BRANDO, AND NEWMAN BOXSETS IN NOVEMBER

    Yay! 3 boxsets I can pass up! My wallet sobs with relief. :) I feel sorry for you folks who want to buy individual titles and can't... I do believe Warner's trying to force people to pay extra for the whole set... as with the Doris Day & Ginger Rogers fans having no other option but to buy...

    Have your Absolute Favorites have been released?

    Okay, my absolute ABSOLUTE favorite, My So-Called Life, gets a ... :D My other absolute favorites get the sad face.... :frowning: FAMILY TIES - where the *bleep* is it?! It's not often I love a *popular* *hit* show, and when I do, it's *still* not a definite DVD release? What the *bleepity...

    The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) - Helen Slater, Christian Slater

    Okay, all you HDNet-receiving people are making me soooo jealous! Quit it. :P I have a battered old previously-viewed VHS tape I found at a thrift store. I want a WIDESCREEN DVD of this movie, and I want it NOW! 'Cause DVDs are more "invincible", don'tyaknow. ;)

    Alice in Wonderland-reviews!

    Thanks for confirming the quality! :) I ordered online, 'cause I couldn't find it in stores. I'm pretty much resigned to NEVER finding the DVDs I want on actual store shelves near me. They just don't stock the ones I'm interested in. (On the rare occasion they *do*, the price is better online...

    Of Human Bojndage - Davis - Best version?

    I doubt I'll be able to get in the chat, but I hope *someone* asks about the movie... In the meantime I sure wish somebody who caught the TCM airing would share their thoughts!

    Of Human Bojndage - Davis - Best version?

    Based on user reviews I've read, I ordered this version: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/630...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd I can't really *guarantee* it's the best, as I haven't bought all the other cheapie versions and compared them. But ROAN seem to have the best reputation in general. Does...

    WHV Announces, THE TARZAN COLLECTION - Volume #2 -- October 31st

    It *is* nice to see Warner releasing some B movies. I detest the snobbery of only focusing on Oscar winners or whatever. So many great films didn't win awards. And even if it isn't a great film, it can still be great fun. :) I hope this means Warner intend to release less "prestigious"...

    Ark II, Jason of Star Command and others coming from BCI!!

    I've never heard of these shows...before my time I guess...or I somehow missed 'em as a kid. I'm tempted to blind-buy a bunch though, 'cause I'm so grateful to BCI for releasing He-Man and She-Ra. :) I think they ROCK, putting these relatively unknown "cult" shows on DVD! Warner (and other...

    WHV Announces, THE TARZAN COLLECTION - Volume #2 -- October 31st

    If they do release volume 2 in slimlines, I hope volume 1 gets re-released that way... (I hate fold-outs too).

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: James Stewart: The Signature Collection (RECOMMENDED).

    Too bad The Naked Spur doesn't have the greatest picture quality... it's one of the most interesting (to me) movies here. At least The Stratton Story (my favorite) looks good...and has the best extras. Wish there were more extras in this set... I'll probably get slammed for saying this, but...

    Alice in Wonderland-reviews!

    Oh my - that Carol Channing quote took me back! Now I'm *sure* this is the version of Alice In Wonderland I saw on TV and enjoyed as a kid. Thanks! :) (I was so young, my memory's foggy... but now I'm definitely buying this DVD! I know I'll remember more as I'm watching it. Gotta love that...

    Any word on Animaniacs or Pinky & Brain?

    Too bad Warner hasn't learned from their past interlacing mistakes. Just confirms for me that their animation dept. really doesn't care. I'll buy Animaniacs anyway though, 'cause I love it too damn much *not* to. I just hope the Canadian version won't be missing anything... guess I'll have to...

    Bing Crosby, Cary Grant & Rock Hudson 'Screen Legend Collections' from Universal

    *What* kind of marketing? What do you mean by "in this mode"? These may be obscure films, but they're *not* obscure stars...like Gloria Jean. So I don't see the connection you're trying to make. And aren't you being a bit cruel to poor Gloria...I'm sure she has fans out there. Why shouldn't her...

    Bing Crosby, Cary Grant & Rock Hudson 'Screen Legend Collections' from Universal

    If only we were in charge so we could decide on the best way to prioritize releases... Oh well. I don't think we could all agree anyway. ;) I think we'd all feel better if Universal promised our favorites would make it to DVD eventually...then the order of release wouldn't matter so much. Too...

    Bing Crosby, Cary Grant & Rock Hudson 'Screen Legend Collections' from Universal

    Herb Kane - I completely agree with you! :) And it's not like Academy Award winners/AFI listed movies are the only ones deserving of DVD release. I'd like to see every single film ever made, available on DVD. Trust me, no matter how obscure a movie is, there's *someone* out there who remembers...

    BONES - David Boreanaz says Season 1 is coming soon...

    This isn't my genre, but I tuned in for David 'cause I loved Angel. And I was pleasantly surprised. It's not the kind of show I get *passionate* about, but I liked the characters and was entertained. I'll buy it. :) (It's kinda cool how many people enjoy Bones, who don't normally enjoy crime...

    Bing Crosby, Cary Grant & Rock Hudson 'Screen Legend Collections' from Universal

    No offense, but how do you know these films aren't good if you haven't seen them? They could be lost gems! :) I wouldn't take the word of someone else who's seen 'em and says there's better ones Universal could've chosen to release. That's just one person's opinion. I'm going to decide for...

    Warner how about releasing these titles on DVD?

    I'm kinda curious to see Electric Dreams... I like the theme song, anyway. :) Yeah I'd buy the DVD... I have fits of 80's nostalgia (yes even for films I didn't actually *see* then 'cause I was too busy watching classics from the 30's and 40's when I was a child ;))

    Rumors of Disney's True-Life Adventures

    Well, a lot of people *were* exposed to them through TV, on the Wonderful World Of Disney. And weren't some filmed *for* WWOD? I could be wrong. Good news from Leonard Maltin... although... last Fall? I hope they haven't changed their minds in the meantime. Disney *are* slow, aren't they?

    Gummi Bears to DVD?

    Gummi Bears?! *bouncing here and there and everywhere* ;) Seriously, I'm glad. I barely remember the show now, I was so young when it was on TV. But I want to see it again. Better be in chronological volumes, like they're doing for Darkwing Duck, etc.

    Any word on Animaniacs or Pinky & Brain?

    Okay, so I'm freaking out. Why isn't Animaniacs available in Canada yet? I scoured the city and none of the DVD stores had it... although a few had Pinky & The Brain. One saleslady told me they were getting Animaniacs Aug. 8th...I came home, checked Amazon and sure enough, their date has...

    Bing Crosby, Cary Grant & Rock Hudson 'Screen Legend Collections' from Universal

    Bing!Bing!Bing!Bing! I've been hoping for more of his early films! I'll get the Cary Grant box too. But... Bing is king! Thanks Universal for opening the vaults and allowing us the chance to see obscure movies! Now, where's Deanna Durbin vol. 2? :) Guess that means you've seen 'em...
