I have the 40th ann edition and it always comes up with the resume screen, and goes back to exactly where I last watched. I sample scenes more than I actually watch the film full through anymore, so I've put it in quite often and gotten this correct resumption every time.

I like the way plastic saint Luke is too good to get his hands dirty with anything too morally dubious, and hews to the horsepuck Jedi philosophy Yoda pontificates. Good thing for him the most evil character in the first two films suddenly does a completely unmerited and unfounded 180 to save...

But the dark side of the force, which the powerful adversary next to him, who has been tapping into, and mastering it, for as long as luke has been alive, isn't powerful enough to cloud this nascent Jedi's thoughts and feelings? For someone who was "not a Jedi" when he left Dagobah the first...

I have no doubt 9 year olds (and 7, 8, and 6 years olds) Loved the film and found it fully satisfying. I was 16 and walked out of the first showing, first day extremely dispirited. By the end of the summer I loathed the film. Screw the ewoks, my beef was that it dismissed or negated nearly every...

The UHD is Region Free. Only the Bd , which I have, is region locked. And it's not that Rubinstein won't license it out in the US. It's that no company wants to pay the fee he is demanding. This isn't 2004 and the SS releases have likely sapped some of the potential sales for it in the US...

SAG strike affected more than just film/TV production. Actors couldn't even approve their likenesses for toys- or in this case, new cover art. Hence the annoying splotches (I guess rationalized as a reference to the food fight scene). This was held up for decades by pricey music licensing...

Looking For Mr. Goodbar * Little Darlings* Horrible Dr. Hitchcock Phase IV Paint Your Wagon Conan The Barbarian/Destroyer Inside The Mind Of Coffin Joe *strongly rumored, with pre-order beginning possibly this week

While I wouldn't exactly say I "love" it, I do consistently enjoy it quite a bit. I guess there are aspects of it I do actually love (the score, when preformed well, feels more muscular and vibrant to me for this than for the original, which I otherwise still like a lot). I also had a similar...

Some of Tooze' own caps show more detail discernible on the Network (the striations visible on the bottom lip of the driver in the second set of caps are completely blurred out on the Criterion), so I find it curious he would say they probably exhibit the same amount of detail in motion if not...

Was planning to pick this up, so I'm glad to hear it's one of the "good" ones (master-wise) that Paramount handed off. I've only seen it (in full) once or twice, but my impression was that it was a prime example of something being less than the sum of it's parts. Some of those parts are...

Just wanted to say I hope Brad is doing all right. I see he hasn't posted in almost two years. We shared a lot of common interest in the B moves of a certain era. A short time span which doesn't get near the affection and attention that the era starting just a few years later does. Seems like...

Always thought the Lester ID reveal (amongst many other bits) was contrived as all hell. OMG! You're hand isn't burned from the split second it was in the flame? Of course, neither was your sweater singed, and the hair brush wasn't a lump of melted plastic that you had to peel off your...

Yeah. The very first solicit they had for the set listed a mix of Bds and a DVD, so I assumed GGM wasn't getting a 1080p disc.. Then right up before release, the DVD seemed to be gone and it was all Bds. Not that they still couldn't put GGM in standard def on one- which is why I asked. Thanks...

Hey Thomas- Is Gidget Gets Married actually in 1080p or only standard def? Via Visions initial solicits were conflicting on this.
