    Angie: The Complete Collection Coming from VEI

    I've not seen much of "Angie" but what I have seen is sweet and the show seems up my alley. Will be on the shelf next to "Mary Hartman" for obvious reasons.

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    But Amanda wasn't initially played as a sourpuss. She was a very sweet young woman. I enjoyed and appreciated that Karen gave us that quality back in her portrayal of Amanda.

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    At least Karen made the part charming and likeable again - Oxenberg's Amanda really grated on me towards the end.

    They had NO IDEA whatsover to do with Amanda once she divorced the prince. I think the better option would have been to kill Amanda off in the La Mirage fire. Karen Cellini did a lovely job with the character, she just needed more time to find her feet and perhaps some good scripts to act.

    The UK sets for Seasons 6-9 certainly weren't, with some awful "colour pulsing".

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    I hope that the box art doesn't change much from this - it looks fabulous. And last week I was within a heartbeat of buying all the split-season sets from Seasons 6-9 (because the UK sets that I have are from lower quality sources)... now I will wait and get the entire box.

    Reflections In A Golden Eye DVD

    Again, it sounds like most of the playback issues reported in this thread were from discs made before Warner moved to their pressing plants in Mexico. Quality and long-term durability of their discs has improved 100% since they moved their operations there.

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    If they did, I'd be happy to see a Complete box set. The transfers for seasons 6-9 on the UK sets came from analogue sources and don't look pretty at all.

    Blu-ray Review Anastasia (1956) Blu-ray Review

    And already all the signs are that it's going to be very successful. It's currently booking through to January 2018.

    Blu-ray Review Anastasia (1956) Blu-ray Review

    Yes that was Anna Anderson. The 1956 movie version uses her story as the main inspiration.

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    Probably a hold-over from when that disc was originally sold separately (as a flipper). When those old flipper disc releases are re-packaged in boxsets, they don't re-do the menus.

    Beauty and the Beast (2017)

    The difference here is that the new movie doesn't have ANY of the songs from the Broadway musical version, so in essence it's a remake of the original animated film, as well as a re-vision of the stage musical. Talk about confusing.

    New Petition out to get "Knots Landing" Complete series out on DVD

    If Seasons 1 and 2 sold well, we'd have had more seasons on DVD by now. Harsh but true.

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    That Joan Crawford set went OOP a while ago. WAC just reissued all those titles as MODs, so your best solution for "Sadie McKee" is to buy it again separately.

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (The Announcements/The Films)

    I'm not sure if ImportCDs manufacture their own copies onsite like Amazon does. I'm just reporting what happened to me last year - 3 discs (plus the Jean Harlow Collection) that I ordered were all defective.

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (The Announcements/The Films)

    They are cheaper from ImportCDs, but be careful and make sure they play when you first get them. I had a dreadful run of defective WAC discs a year or so ago, and they were all from ImportCDs.

    Mill Creek and long chapter stops...

    The same with their repackages of movies from Sony. Most movies typically only have 4 chapters.

    IMBd site

    I used to enjoy dropping in on the boards to see what was being discussed, debated, etc. Now I'll only ever visit IMDB when I need to double-check a birthday, release date, etc.

    International Classic British DVD titles from Network!

    Things have slowed down - which is kind of good for me because I've lost interest in this series, to be quite honest.

    And I doubt whether that idea would have floated with Frankie and Jason - but of course that's all revealed later. ;)

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    That I think was the main reason why Pamela Sue wanted out of the show. They turned Fallon into a boring, conventional working mother. It was too much of a change from her regular character.

    Hart to Hart: The Complete Series announced

    That price will come down, I'm sure, but it's still very steep. A $90 or $100 pricepoint would have been more appropriate.

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    I never found that idea crazy, especially since, for most of the series, Jeff was more loyal and son-like than Adam ever was.

    Warner DVD's not working thread - watch to make sure they still play

    That makes sense to me, jcroy. I've had a few discs from the Canadian plant over the years (none of those have/had any issues), but I routinely had problems with Warner discs from the Olyphant plant.

    World Without End - coming from WAC

    Second vote for "Queen of Outer Space" - I thought WAC may have put a high priority on that one in the wake of Zsa Zsa's passing.
