    The DVD day’s are numbered.

    I'm not sure "youngsters" have the moral high ground, but they certainly have consumer high ground, and that is what rules the day. I like holding my books, CDs, and DVDs; that will never change. I've never streamed or downloaded, and I never will.

    Very interesting article, but now I'm allergic to the word "allergic"...

    You're much too forgiving. We can't keep lowering the bar.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Vietnam War -- in Blu-ray

    His recounting of that phone call with the young lady asking for Revolutionary War film footage would be funny if it wasn't so damn tragic. I don't when that phone call occurred, but it's obvious that the dumbing down of America started a long time ago. Heartbreaking.

    oh why not....THE ABYSS

    Does Cameron truly believe that after all this time, the public is clamoring for 4 Avatar sequels? [yup] One would have been fine, but not four! Insane.

    3D Terminator 2 Judgement Day 3D

    Betamax? We are showing our age... ;o) Seriously, I think Cameron is over-estimating the staying power of "Avatar'. Yes, it was extraordinarily popular and profitable, but ELEVEN YEARS to wait for the sequel(s), and is the public really clamoring for 4 more iterations? I think Cameron is really...

    Van Ling, thank you. I knew his first name, but I could not remember his last name. Too bad about he and Cameron. I'm sure Cameron isn't the easiest auteur to work with.

    3D Terminator 2 Judgement Day 3D

    P.S. Avatar 2 won't be released until 2020? I think Cameron's audience for the first film might be too old to care about the sequels! Come on, James, just reissue True Lies and The Abyss on BR. I can't remember the name of the guy who produced the LDs of T2 and The Abyss, but he did a great job...

    The Mist - Spike TV

    Have you guys forgotten Frank Darabont's excellent 2007 film? Unfortunately, not a box-office success, it was well-acted and well produced. Unfortunately, Darabont, with King's permission, changed the ended that was very jarring and, frankly (no pun), inexplicable. Still worth watching, I think.

    Not sure what this has to do with home theatre or film releases/ restorations.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Seven Days in May -- in Blu-ray

    I totally agree that Ryan was an underrated actor. Just watch "Billy Budd" or "The Wild Bunch" (in particular). Remarkable performances, both.

    Seven Days In May (1964) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Ditto. Also waiting for "Fail-Safe". There were several dark, memorable topical thrillers from the mid-60s.

    Blu-ray in the foreseeable future?

    Thanks. This is a difficult website to navigate. It is not intuitive and way too many menus/options!

    Blu-ray in the foreseeable future?

    I'm curious to know if anyone has heard/read of any one releasing Blu-ray editions of "The Heiress" (1949) or Scorsese's "The Age of Innocence" in the foreseeable future? And finally, is there going to a review of the Cohen Collection's "Howard's End" that appears to be getting quite a bit of...
