I can't be the only one who noticed a certain space station from a different show on the menus for Space: Above and Beyond. Weird. I'm guessing whoever designed those menu backgrounds has never seen either show.

I think the fact that some titles do DVD so right is what can make it frustrating when other titles don't deliver at the same level. Shrek was a fantastic release in 2001. Think about it, it had the full frame *and* anamorphic...

Quote: After Daredevil (I rented that and I STILL felt ripped off), I didn't bother seeing Hulk, Catwoman, Spiderman2 or Electra. I don't think anyone who saw Spiderman 2 would put it in the same league as those...

I'd recommend Netflix over buying blind though. It's one thing if you've already seen the content and know what you're getting, but if you buy something blind and end up not liking it, there are some down sides in addition to the...

It's no mystery why Laser's Edge isn't mentioned first in a thread like this. It's clear most folks are looking at price as their #1 criteria. I could pre-order Matrix Revolutions at Laser's Edge for $23.94 plus $4 shipping (roughly...
