    Does Independence Day 20th Anniversary Edition contain the true theatrical version?

    The new 20th Anniversary Edition of Independence Day corrects a major omission of the previous Blu-ray by including the extended edition. A lot of people were disappointed that the previous release included only the theatrical version, but I remember one commenter who was happy that that the...

    Sin City Blu-ray skipping/freezing?

    I have the two-disc "Recut, Extended, Unrated" version of Sin City on Blu-ray. It's been sitting on my shelf for some time, and I finally watched it last night. I watched the theatrical version of the film on disc one. Unfortunately, it was plagued with glitches. The image froze briefly...

    Breaking Bad: The Complete Series (New Blu-ray Packaging) Available for Preorder

    Like others, I enjoyed the show from the beginning, but it definitely improves as it goes along. Like the others, I suspect you'll be hooked by the time you finish season 2, but the best stuff will still be ahead of you!

    Friends - Extended Cuts?

    Also, both seasons of Hannibal include extended "producer's cuts" of several episodes, though those mainly just reinstate a few brief shots originally cut for content.

    I had given up on classic TV/DVD releases, UNTIL this year. 2014 turned out great

    I couldn't agree more. You mention some great, "when hell freezes over"-type releases that somehow all saw the light of day in the same calendar year. And don't forget about Batman!

    Batman DVD Set Missing Tag Scene In S2 Episode

    If you mean, did they re-issue a disk with the advertised remaster, the answer is no. Instead, they published a statement saying "Oops, the press release was wrong."

    Batman DVD Set Missing Tag Scene In S2 Episode

    They did with the recent reissue of The Neverending Story, which was advertised in the press release as including a remastered version, but actually just re-used the same video master as the previous version.

    Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow: THE HTF ADDICT 3D REVIEW

    I watched this for the first time last night. It was okay, but I was a little disappointed after all the glowing reviews. I was surprised at how funny the movie was, I guess the premise lends itself to a lot of absurd situations and the script took great advantage of that. And I really liked...

    WKRP In Cincinnati: The Complete Series Review (See Posts #218 & 356 for Info)

    Weird Science and Sixteen Candles were the ones that had music replaced. The Breakfast Club has always been intact as far as I know.

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    My player was set up for a 4:3 TV, too. But unlike DVDs, Blu-rays aren't encoded with a 4:3 or 16:9 video image. Everything is encoded as 16:9, and any other aspect ratio is just letterboxed or windowboxed within that 16:9 frame. So there was no way for the player to "know" that the...

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    Before I got an HDTV, I had a Blu-ray player connected to a standard-definition CRT television via composite video. It worked fine, but 4:3 material was problematic in that it was windowboxed within the 16:9 image, which was letterboxed within the 4:3 TV screen, leading to a substantial black...

    River's Edge (1986) from KL Studio Classics on 1/13/2015

    Coincidentally, I was listening to a podcast interview with Crispin Glover just last week. This movie was brought up, and though I'd never heard of it, I was interested enough in it that I thought I should check it out. I guess I will wait until January to do so on Blu-ray, now!
