    "i should have seen this film years ago!"

    The Seven-Per-Cent Solution. This is SUCH a fun film.:) Alan Arkin is a revelation as Sigmund Freud, Nicol Williamson brings Sherlock Holmes into REAL humanity for the first time in my experience with the character, and while I thought at first Robert Duvall would bomb as Watson, he makes the...

    Fantastic article about lackluster DVD efforts and growing production oversights...

    ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT notwithstanding either. But for the most part, you're right: DVD boxed sets of crappy TV shows take up way too much space on store shelves to get the good stuff released fast enough. Especially if there are NO extras and the release is of a series still in production, not...

    Lumet S.E's in Feb 06

    WB released "Good Night, and Good Luck" too? I've seen the film, loved it, yet never realized that before--much less that it had also distributed these other three wonderful films from the '70s. I'm snapping up this SE box set. Quickly. GOD, I love Warner Bros.

    Movies with endings that don't resolve anything (SPOILERS SHOULD BE EXPECTED)

    This is a curious thread. Even Gone With the Wind has an unresolved ending. Does that detract from anyone's enjoyment of the film? It doesn't for me.

    Any news about Alice...

    Hey Anthony, I live out in Surprise too right now. Small world.:) I went down to Mel's on Monday...they're closed that day and Sunday, every day of the week. Open at 6 a.m., though, down at 17th Ave. and Grand. I wouldn't mind having "Alice" on DVD either, in spite of Linda Lavin, Doug...

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

    Shawn- The "Star Wars" cycle is over, and I don't think some people want to accept that. They want to go on talking about meaningless issues that don't detract in any way from enjoyment of the films themselves because they can't let go and move on. Hey, I'm a big fan too--"Empire" almost...

    It sounded like GOB was the voice-over guy on the "...of Hell, MWUHAHAHAHAHAAHA!" gag. :D

    The whole jet pack instructional DVD spoof was just drop-dead funny. "I thought she was making bad monster, but it turned out she was just out of vodka." :laugh:

    All The President's Men: Feb 21 See Post #34

    About DAMN time! :emoji_thumbsup: I've been waiting for this release since the dawn of the format. I assume this will be a 30th Anniversary Edition...no tribute to Pakula? Either way, excellent news!

    I would like the complete Peanuts on DVD.

    Better see it again pretty soon, then, because I don't think your high opinion of it will quite hold up, unfortunately. :frowning: I caught "Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown" Tuesday night on HBO for the first time since I saw it on TV in the early '80s, and the movie has NOT aged well. "Bon...

    The criss-cross challenge: films with interwoven plot threads

    Almost every Robert Altman film, like Nashville, The Player and M*A*S*H. As would Pulp Fiction, wouldn't everyone agree? EDIT: Way to go, Haggai...thunder-stealer. ;)

    Actors with identical twin siblings?

    Are Martin Sheen and brother Joe Estevez twins? There is a VERY strong resemblance, both in voice and in appearance.

    does anyone else hate the wizard of oz?

    Sadly, I have to agree with your assessment, particularly the third criticism. While the Oz story is still filled with enough sincere sweetness and wonder to make a purchase of this 3-disc set a no-brainer for me, the quality of the acting in the symbolic characters has not held up well over...

    Warning Shot

    My Dad's a huge David Janssen fan, so I've seen this movie twice with him. Janssen's best film overall, with a solid supporting cast and a tight, crackling story. You definitely get pulled into the plight of the sergeant--even though the ending is a tad telegraphed. Highly Recommended (by...

    More Night Court??

    Ritter was a wise, wise man...couldn't have said it better myself.:D "Tricks of the Trade," was that the TV movie that featured Post saying "Tie me up."? I wouldn't mind seeing THAT on DVD! :emoji_thumbsup: And as for the season set issue, the "best of" collection idea is stupid, I agree...

    Donner Superman 2 SE (merged thread)

    Francis, do you have the Superman: the Movie EE DVD? Both scenes with the lion pit are on there as deleted scenes. I still wish Donner had included the Native Americans splashing in the water as a deleted scene too, but, oh well...:)

    Napoleon Dynamite SE???

    A SE announcement that turned out to be just a repackaging of the original would be, like, pretty much the worst video ever MADE.

    John Carpenter's, The Fog out Oct. 4th.

    Hasn't the original already been remade ONCE in the seemingly endless series of "Halloween" sequels? I thought for sure Part 4 or 5 was a paint-by-numbers remake of the original.

    The Colbert Report

    Speaking of "This Week in God," I would LOVE to find out who that guy is who does the "beep-boop-boop-beep-boop-boop" sounds for the religious 'icons' flying past on the screen behind Corddry. I know it's an effect that's been on the Daily Show for a couple years now, but it doesn't sound...

    The Twilight Zone Season Four: What to expect?

    I was not aware that a 38-minute version of the 1962 "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" was available. Many thanks for the info., Jeff. I don't think the print can look much better than it has on the TZ Treasures disc, but I've been proven wrong before when it comes to amazing transfers, so who...

    Rocky 6, why oh why???!!!!!!!!!

    That quote was bad, but the above news is worse. The world needs another "Rambo" sequel like it needs hemorrhoids. And Sly Stallone writing AND directing a film based on the life of Edgar Allan Poe has got to be some sick joke. Or at least a good idea for a random "Family Guy" segue...

    I imagine the looped Brando lines would be in Donner's possession, then. Where were the audio tracks for Brando's new scene(s) in Superman found?

    Is there a ray of hope for WKRP??

    The thing I can't figure out, to this day, is that why the issue with music rights is coming up now, when WKRP played with the music intact for at least a decade in syndication. Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake, I don't know...does anyone have an answer for this?

    Somewhere in Time Re-re-release? (MERGED THREAD)

    This is one of those rare, tragic SEs that a core group of fans waited years for, willed into being, and now have to live with a half-assed presentation of a film that deserves far better. Not only is the transfer non-anamorphic, it is NOTICEABLY grainy and even yellowed in spots. And I could...

    REVENGE OF THE SITH DVD Review up and running...(let the flood begin)(SNEAK LOOK POST #146)...

    Just FYI, the Whills have been an element of the SW universe since the original 1977 George Lucas story, as the Journal of the Whills is quoted at the beginning.
