Review at IGN DVD. While it's a nice set, the fact that 18 of the 23 minutes of longer running time is consumed by seperate credits crawls - running 4:20-4:45 ea. - is a kick in the shins, but it's hard to market "Now with 7 more minutes!" and if they'd been tacked on as separate deleted...
I didn't listen/watch the entire cast commentary - there are only so many hours in the day, you know? - I do know they missed Victor Garber. What I want to know is why are only a few listed in the packaging when there are so many actually on the track?
I'm currently working on my review for IGN DVD and when it comes to the extras, I was initially inclined to dock it for not having the 4th disc or the announced, but spiked, documentary, but when you look at what you DO get:
* 3 informative commentaries without a lot of overlap
* An hour of...
Can't remember that one, but it was just likethe original ending of "Clerks" - you know, the one that would've commercially ruined the film because you don't make an audience root for a character and then whack him for no reason. The Girl served no purpose other than getting our boy killed by...
A question, when did the movie get the 'number for letter' conversion? When I saw it in the theater, the poster and marquee didn't show it as L4yer Cake to my recollection, but the DVD is well marked as such. Did I just miss it or is this some form of making the movie more 'hip'? There is a...
We only tested the movie one time and the test was extraordinary. We had teenage girls and boys and their mothers, and every one of them absolutely loved the movie. They thought it was far better than Spider-Man and far better than typical comic-book movies and they really understood what movie...
Whoops! I'm too green to post a shamelessly self-serving link to the Bits review, but if you look it up, it's there. Ebert and that Other Guy Version: :thumbsdown:
Hoo boy. Not to step into another reviewer's fight ;) , I've got to address this howler: Why would Book hang out in Amish country at all, unless it's to give us a show?
Um, could it be that...Book needs to hide where the bad guys can't easily locate him AND to protect the witness to the...
Believe the IGN review. Screen grabs can't capture the ugliness of the transfer and the noise and gunk in the dark scenes when in motion. My girlfriend, who thinks that I've lost the ability to just sit and watch a DVD without flyspecking the technical aspects (she's half-right) and has no...
The copies of Clone Wars and I Heart Huckabee's (both Fox) I received yesterday have this wonderful new logo to indicate that the studio considers us thieves.:angry: Copy-protection in software, particularly PC games, is getting worse and worse as some games won't work in certain brands of...
Have you tried one of those Minitek players with the built-in 7" screen that you can get at Media Play for parents whose kids aren't sufficiently entertained by playing "I Spy"? I mean, since the expensive stuff isn't working for you? ;)
I picked up a used copy from HWV last week and figured it'd be one of the original discs with pooched captions and was correct. Received the mailer today. Also found my Back to the Future mailer!:b Are they still doing those trades? I got mine back when it initially shipped. Thanks!
According to the commentary track, the Dolby engineers rewrote code to wring extra bass out of the track and it certainly got our cats' attention! That said, I wasn't as impressed by the mix as much as the last poster, but then again, I was being too agressively bored by the movie to care...
It's obvious that many are assuming that this is simply a matter of taste, experience, equipment and my presumed lack of all of three. Sorry if I seem offended, but the repeated inferences that I'm missing the point of the film's look indicate that some have decided it's easier to assume that...
So you're saying that some people aren't able to discern the differences between post-processing and a poor transfer? If so, how do you explain these comments from my IGN review of Sky Captain: The Video Grading this anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen transfer is tricky because of the look of...
No. It's my belief that poor transfers be properly called out as bad transfers. "Ray" is unpleasant to watch because it's a lousy transfer, not because it doesn't look like a Pixar movie. I'm curious as to why people are leaping to defend something they haven't seen with such bizarre...
That's like saying, "They didn't get around to making them as ugly as the rest of the it." I'm sorry, but that's like saying they forgot to make Charlize Theron in "The Italian Job" look like Charlize Theron in "Monster". The comments about movie theaters are only that allowing for poor...
Hiya, everyone – I never thought my first post here would be under circumstances like this. :b First, I did see "Ray" theatrically, but don't recall anything specific (or negative) about the stylistic use of a digital intermediate to alter the color, but I've grown so disenchanted with the...
