Have you been playing the Stephen King drinking game? That's been known to kill people. Also, Do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do? Well you better let the poor guy out!! WA HA! WA HA! WA HA! WA HA! Also, Isaac from Children of the Corn is hilariously over the top. I clicked this...

If VHS, Betamax, and other videotape based formats including videotaped shows like All in the Family are unable to be remastered in HD or 4K, does that mean that no one will watch the digital SD videos or SD DVDs of these shows in the future, as if everyone totally forgets that All in the Family...

Alright! Rock On, Robert Harris! By the way, when this comes out on Blu-ray, will people buy it online or at a brick and mortar retail store? In specific terms of movies, online retail has ousted brick and mortar in a number of ways. I may buy it online because I have a debit card. Other people...

How do you manage to save up all your hard earned work money to buy all these movies? Do you buy Blu-rays as well? If so, then do you buy them online or from a brick and mortar retail store?

Brick and Mortar stores have a hard time keeping up with online retail, and the simple reason is because online retail has a wider variety of choices than the brick and mortar stores, which frontline themselves consistently with mainstream releases or Disney releases. May that's why many video...

My situation can be described as: my DLNA streaming video works magnificently at home but when it's on an external IP address, you know, your Public IP address that displays every time you go onto whatismyip.com it seems to have trouble with the video. I have diagnosed that there is nothing...

Various web hosting and domain services offer unlimited storage for their FTP servers. One of them is GoDaddy, who offers unlimited storage as web hosting for $4.49 per month. FTP can be used to store lots of things, including files stored on the server that are hidden to the general public. I...

I've noticed a trend that the newer movies come out as a digital HD release on iTunes two weeks or so before they get issued to DVD. This makes me question: what is the percentage of profits that the studios get from Blu-Rays from such distributors as Criterion and Olive Films that are sold on...

Since I'm a 90s kid through and through, most of the shows I'm talking about will come from the 1980s and 1990s, not from the Baby Boomer era or the 1970s. Yet a lot of shows from the late 1950s to the mid 2000s are largely going to be stuck at standard definition, or 480p DVD quality...

A message from Rick about the indie Rudolph documentary: "We are already working on our own RUDOLPH documentary. Actually I have a few people putting one together. I started it years ago and DREAMWORKS made a big mistake by not involving me with their 50th release. That is all I can say at this...

Yes, fans of Rudolph can be in this documentary. Of course, since I'll be working primarily from home and not going out traveling and interviewing people, it looks like you'll have to film yourselves and send the files to my PM or so via Minbox.com an unlimited file sharing service. Of course...

Do you have a webcam, or a camera that can mount on a tripod? If so, maybe you can film yourself talking about the special, then put the files on your computer or Android tablet and then send them to me using this service: www.minbox.com. I have a good Internet connection, I can download the...

Hey, didn't you see my last post. I'm going to make an indie documentary about the making of this special because Classic Media and Dreamworks refuse to do so. Then again, after Dreamworks' purchase of Classic Media, they may surprise me and all my work will be trumped by a work they made.

Got this rather uncompromising email from Rick: "No....they decided not to get my help. After I asked for $, they never responded to me again. There will be very little to no bonus material for this release and it is a shame. The 50th should have been special to them and it is not." I...

Did Rick Goldschmidt, a friend of mine whom I've only met online and not in person, and who is the official Rankin Bass historian, did he do any work at all on this Blu-ray or is this completely barebones?

Dear Home Theater Forum, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 that plays all sorts of video files except BD-ISO or maybe DVD-ISO. At the same time, there are several Android Media Players that come from China all touting specs of Android 4.4, HDMI 1.4, 2GB RAM, 8 or 16 GB memory, quad core...

The studios can usually get their Blu-rays to a number of copies that total in the millions. My question is this. Do they duplicate/replicate their Blu-rays in house or do they use a third party company to get to 15-25 million copies? If so, what companies would they use to duplicate the Blu-rays?

A whole boatload of titles have been given a 2K or 4K Blu-ray restoration over the past several years. However, in all honesty, there are few companies out there who can truly pull off a quality restoration of an old movie. My state only has one, and that is Crawford Media Services in Atlanta...

I know how there are few places in the world that can ever give a proper restoration to a movie, I know that some studios don't want to deal with some titles because they don't see much commercial value in them, I know that attempting to bring color to a movie with faded colors is hard, and I...

If some of you have real discerning eyes like I do, then you can stick with your setup. I mean, I'm like 22 years and 7 months old and actually care about having high quality video. Poor quality is real bad especially with pixel artifacts and stuff in the video. Most of the time I simply cannot...

Oh man, seeing all the new scenes makes the movie more complete! I never realized some of the scenes in the release version were originally longer. Almost 3 and a half hours of amazement. No wonder James Rolfe (otherwise known as The Angry Video Game Nerd) calls this his favorite film. Want...

I am thoroughly enjoying the extended cut on Blu-ray right now. To put it this way, don't expect the scenes that have been put back in to be as good of a quality as the general release scenes. What matters here is the content. There's more scenes with police observation, a scene where Melville...

I'm asking if anyone that owns a Blu-ray player that upscales standard definition DVDs to high definition material if the picture quality is any good. There's also composite to HDMI scalers, A/V receivers, and smart TVs that upscale SD material to HD. Is it any good?

How exactly do you think hardware upscaling looks when you watch SD material upscaled to HD or 4K or HD upscaled to 4K? Does it look good, bad, terrible, excellent, or decent? SD content can include anything from a DVD, VHS, or any form of SD video tape format. Examples would include TV news...

Robert A. Harris, I'm new to this forum and this being James Rolfe's (the Angry Video Game Nerd's) favorite film of all time, he would be proud to buy this release. I feel sorry that I made a moronic, seperate post attempting to ask you about the lost footage, and then says that no one would buy...

I apologize. I'm high functioning autistic, meaning I take a lot of things way too personally and blow things way out of proportion. It's basically the environment around me and reading a whole bunch of BoxOfficeMojo pages and articles about the "death of DVD" and "the dominance of streaming"...

Dear Robert A. Harris, I seem to look at the Criterion Blu-Ray of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and it states that you've managed to reconstruct and restore a 197 minute version of the film closer to it's roadshow release and it's been put through a high definition transfer, which I would take...
