As always, great to hear from RAH about a new release. Sad to hear about the quality on this one though. This has me terrified for what could happen to the Minghella releases (Cold Mtn and English Patient specifically) should they make it to Blu in the near future, but in fairness I don't...

Is the "Cult Fiction" release of The Long Good Friday the same as the other Anchor Bay release? I'm referring to this one here... Amazon.com: Cult Fiction: The Long Good Friday: Bruce Alexander,Pierce Brosnan,Michael Byrne,George Coulouris,Eddie Constantine,Charles Cork,Stephen Davies,Alan...

Anyone have this Japanese blu and can comment on the quality? If not, be sure to post impressions if you do pick it up, chris.

Over at criterionforum (this thread: :: View topic - 422 The Last Emperor ), someone linked these, so for those interested in reading about Storaro's "theories" here they are... Interview: Filmmaker Magazine: Web Exclusives His "Univisium" proposal...

Sorry to get your hopes up Bob with the thread resurrection. Hopefully Paramount gets its act together on this film (and countless others) - I guess they don't feel there is enough financial incentive to get a lot of these films out on DVD (let alone high def). Just picked up the current DVD...

Just watched this film today for the first time and had to do the requisite "any news yet?" thread resurrection...Any movement at Paramount? I'm at least looking forward to watching all the O'Hara special features on the current "special edition" dvd. Transfer was pretty bad, but I was at...

Nice, just saw this tonight at the theater and thought it was great. Has it been mentioned whether or not the HD-DVD version will be identical in content to this 3 disc DVD?

Totally agree with you there. Re: the Masterpiece set, it's great and especially at that price.

Also looks like that Scorsese documentary is being packed in to a new collection. http://www.amazon.com/Val-Lewton-Col...1908497&sr=8-9 Any idea if there's gonna be any changes made other than the addition of the documentary? (Saw both the docu and new collection on the DVDBeaver main page)

Do you think The Sopranos will find a complete series release in HD/BD sometime soon, or will we have to wait for each season release - 1, 2, etc.? Has HBO/Warner made any indication to their plans? I would imagine if they make a SD boxset for the entire series, a high def version release...

Very nice! It'd be nice to get some clarity on the release dates, etc. In due time, I suppose. How many do you think will actually be released Q4? The Dark Knight will be a long way off, for example...

Question for the neutral owners out there. How do you make a decision on all the Warners releases? :eek: A curious inquiry from a poor decision maker... I'm thinking I'll go neutral as well like Dave, but I'm sort of curious how you guys make decisions on the neutral releases (assuming all...

Anyone have experience with an optical switch like this? http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optica...8890461&sr=8-1 It doesn't look like it's got the best build quality...Alternatively, there is a full blown A/V selector, but it's 45 bucks, and adds further bulk to an already crowded home...

I did a screen cap of the best example I could get of the artifacting (if that's what it can really be called). Taking a pic of a tube tv is not the most ideal; however if you sit back from your screen, I believe you can see the problem much better - it's on Scar's cheek and neck...

I'm experiencing some blocky artifacting when watching Blu-ray discs and DVDs on my PS3. My TV is a Zenith C32V37. I am hooked up to the DVI input on the TV via a Monoprice HDMI-DVI cable. I'm viewing at 1080i (other resolutions don't seem to get rid of the problem, and DVDs do it whether...
