I like Looker and own the DVD.
But if I want to just gawk at Susan Dey in the buff, my go to movie is First Love (1977) with William Katt. The movie itself is just so-so but there are a couple of interestingly strange moments such as Katt's strange interrogation of Dey as to how he knows for...
To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the original Carrie when I first saw it in the theater many moons ago. Over the years I learned to appreciate DePalma's highly stylized and symbolism heavy film. But as a horror and suspense film, I always found it lacking.I saw this version on it's...
I did see this when I was young, but I still appreciate it even more each time I watch so this was a no brainer. Maybe the following will make it a bit more interesting simply because it approaches it from another angle.Turner ran this once during a theme entitled Screen Out, Gay Images in...
The trick with Amazon is to get past that first layer of contacts. Often they are nothing more than script readers and a good portion of the time no matter how much you explain what the problem is, they manage to get it wrong. And this matters not if you contact by email, by on line...
That may have been what they were doing. Although I'm 100 percent certain it wasn't listed as coming from an outside seller. I guess all I can do is wait and see what the deal is.
It's a bit weird. When you click on the product it still has a release date of October 1. However, on my order it has the disclaimer:
DELIVERY ESTIMATE We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.
So...
Thanks, I'll look into that. I haven't ever bought anything from overseas, so this will be an experience. That is okay, though because I like new things.
Another doctor bites the dust. Boy, Shonda Rimes does like to kill of her characters when they leave the show. There is no longer any surprise deaths on this show regardless of how she and the network try to promote it.
I really wanted to switch to an Antenna system. But the problem in my house is location. We live thirty miles outside Bakersfield. I can live with the fact that their local stations generally suck, but their signals are all very weak and unless you use an outdoor antenna, you only get one...
On the one hand we have the AFI wanting us to contribute to film preservation.On the other hand we have Fox continuing to trash it's own library. I guess I shouldn't blame the AFI for Fox Archive shortcomings which seem to get worse with every forum and review I read.
Yes, I accidentally bought the Amazon digital version of Goodbye Charlie before it became available through Fox Archives and it was pan and scan as well. I wish I had watched it as soon as I paid for it but I didn't so no refund I guess. I watched until Tony Curtis began delivering the Eulogy...
I'll second that. I'm happy and probably should consider myself lucky just to have the pilot episode since I never thought it would see the light of day. Same way with Then Came Bronson. Glad to have that as well but would like the series.Bronson was one season and it's surprising how few...
Okay, so this Universal thing gets a bit weirder for me. Recapping our last episode if you'll recall, I had The Chalk Garden in the saved section of my Amazon shopping cart. When it became unavailable for reasons still unknown and unexplained to the peasants, and the 3rd party prices jumped to...
My very first TV purchase was Season One of Here Comes the Brides. I believe the first big box set I purchased was the complete series of Everybody Loves Raymond, the one in the house shaped box with the window shutters that fall off the first time you pick the box up. As for continuous season...
I'm not sure why someone would have put Captain Nice in a Worst TV shows of all time in a book on the subject unless they just found it an easy target. I could see it's counterpart Mr. Terrific being there but not this.
Granted it's been over 40 years but my memory tells me that William...
I guess some warning or explanation from either Amazon or Universal would have been nice. But hey, we're only consumers. I did get the notice that The Chalk Garden I had ordered when it was still at regular price won't be coming any time soon. But I already knew that when the "guranteed"...
The Mod Squad Season Three Volumes One and Two received just today from Amazon. I've also purchased Eight Is Enough Season Three but it's not here yet.
I just received Family Affair Seasons 4 & 5 from Amazon so that completes that series. The price had dropped to $15.49 so I thought it was time. I also received my yearly Grey's Anatomy season. I also bought the Step by Step compilation, mainly for the Christmas episodes and it was only $5.58...
I'm just sensing some kind of a problem between Universal and Amazon in regards to this program. Since these are supposed to be burn on demand, how could they go OOP if that wasn't the case? That and the fact that it was so many titles in the space of a week, two at the most. And it would...
I had something like this happen. I had The Chalk Garden in my shopping cart forever, figuring I'd eventually get it after I obtained other discs that seemed to fill a more immediate need. I figured I had a boatload of time to do so. Yeah, sure.Imagine my surprise when I go look at the...
While there is no way to prove who is correct, I can only go on my own anecdotal evidence. The vast majority of people I meet who buy these films from the Warner Archives and others, always seem pretty savvy as to the purity of their film watching. And younger viewers, few of whom probably...
I had been waiting for a release of these Pat Boone movies forever as well. I had always thought there was a music rights problem holding up the releases. Boy, was I wrong.And let's not forget that the 1962 remake of State Fair was included as an extra in the release of the 1945 version, and...
So I belong to a subforum on Reddit having to do with DVD collection. A guy shows up claiming to be from Fox Home Entertainment. He says he would like to know what special features people would prefer on Blu-rays.I answered him, but I also said if he was who he said he was, then he should do...
I pre-ordered this one figuring that it had to be better than the DVD release which was rather mediocre at best (as far as the film transfer is concerned). This is one of my favorite Romantic Comedies. As for being obscure, not sure I agree with that. The film did gross $126 million...
My son gifted me Charlie's Angels The Complete Series for Father's Day. I gifted myself Season 2 of Daktari because Warner had another sale. Wanted to get more Seasons of Night Court but couldn't swing it so will have to wait till next big sale. I would have preferred Season Three of Eight is...
I just bought the cheaper full seasons of Married With Children and King of Queens. For $28 for one and $24 for the other, I can live with the packaging. Finally picked up Gomer Pyle the complete series when it was temporarily down below $50. Still mulling over the cheap set of Third Rock...
