    Submitted for Your Approval: The Long Overdue Release of “Slow Fade to Black” (AKA “Movie Maker”) on DVD/BD

    If Rod Steiger and/or Michael Pataki who played his character as a younger man, had been guilty of "overacting" in some scenes, it hardly detracts from this fine story by Rod Serling and Steven Bochco, which debuted on what was the Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater TV series. Playing older...

    Why no more law & order season episode synopsis on wikipedia?

    As there are too many Season DVD sets to purchase, and each with only ~ 7 or less liked episodes, I borrow them from local public libraries. None of the sets have episodes lists, thus no episode descriptions. Wikipedia was always my on the fly go-to source to quickly find the episodes that I'd...

    Sex & the Single Girl (1964): BD Edition Long Overdue

    While only the first half or so of this otherwise unique comedy romp remains flavorful-mostly due, of course, to everything about Natalie Wood-it's Neil Hefti's score that provides the real magic. His orchestral arrangements are superb; and those harpsichord & sax riffs still give me goosebumps...

    > 45" 4:3 1080p LCD Display TV: Will it Hit Most Global Markets?

    BINGO??? Okay, it's not an OLED or even a 4K screen. But will a > 45" 1080p 4:3 display with HDMI input soon be available in a market near you? But if you're fed up with having to crop and lose content from your 1:33: 1 movies and TV shows just to view them on your 16:9 display without vertical...

    From Hell to Texas" (1958): Criterion BD Edition Long Overdue

    Here's the appeal sent yesterday to [email protected] It was a sad day for cinephiles when Disney gobbled up Fox Studios, and with it the Fox library of classic films. Even worse, as proof of Hollywood's ongoing drive to kill the optical disc format, Disney is probably first major to...

    James Bond, OHMSS 2015/2020 BD Releases: Quality Differences?

    The time has come to get this on BD, but might there be any reason to suspect that either the initial or the later release would sound better? Or that either would be a better pressing and perhaps therefore be less susceptible to bit rot...

    DVD/1080p BD movies via JRiver on Z Book Laptop Feeding 32” CRT TV

    I need to decide on an external BD burner drive to clone a very rare and OOP DVD movie. But I will also want that drive for sharing DVD/BD movie play duties with my Oppo 95 BD player, where the Oppo feeds the s-video input of my 32” Toshiba CRT TV in my bedroom with a pair of nice DIYed floor...

    "From Hell to Texas (1958)-And Disney's Vault Hoarders from Hell

    A local public library has the original Fox DVD release of "From Hell to Texas" with this artwork. From Hell to Texas - Wikipedia Picture AND sound are truly excellent for lossy Dolby Digital-and the film is presented in color and its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. But the DVD is discontinued...

    Please Recommend Processor(s) to Scale DVDs to 1080p.

    I need advice deciding between two schemes for deinterlacing and scaling 480 content to achieve the best results affordable on a late model 1080p 50" plasma TV. I decided against even the best Sony 48 or 55" OLED TVs as all TVs today are 4K, and however intelligent the algorithms in their...
