I've had an issue with my Samsung QLED (QN82Q6FNAF) that I haven't been able to figure out. I have noticed that when some dark objects are presented against a light background, the display takes a moment or two for the image to disappear. I've included a picture I took while the disc was playing...

Warners has been saying they were looking for better materials for AMBERSONS, and just maybe they were, but Beatrice Welles sued over the rights to CITIZEN KANE and AMBERSONS several years ago, claiming she owned both films due to some contract she had dug up. The AMBERSONS part of the case was...

Couldn't find anything that directly answered my problem, so here goes: I would like to be able to view video files on my computer on my TV (a Sony projection screen, KP-57WS510); my video card is a Rage 128 Pro with an s-video out; I have had friends run the same connection from their laptops...

If you are region free/PAL capable, the film has been released in the UK as part of the excellent Masters of Cinema series.

The Pluto set also contains several instances of brief combing, meaning less than a second, but enough to notice on several occasions. See "Food for Feuding" 1:02 in, or "Cold Turkey" at timepoints 2:06, 2:56, and 5:48. There are other instances as well. I don't consider this something that...

Watching the series on the St Louis PBS station during the 1980s, they showed the entire series, from Hartnell to McCoy, in telefilm format, one story every Sunday night at 10:30. Those were the days! I never actually saw the series in episodic form until I bought some of the DVDs. I do prefer...

Anything lasting more than a couple seasons I won't bother with, reason being that I'll never watch it enough, if even once, to justify the purchase. I had bought the first season of The Simpsons, but I can't imagine spending the time and money to buy all of it, or even half of it. That's the...

I'm reviewing the set for Digitally Obsessed.

The featurettes on American Madness and YCTIWY are new; the rest are recycled from previous releases. The new commentaries for Madness and YCTIWY feature Capra Jr and NYU professor Catherine Kellison, but neither gets into anything beyond the superficial.

BCI has tried to pass that off as fact, but as has been stated elsewhere, all the dialogue was dubbed into English. BCI simply used incomplete bootlegs to produce their discs, as Tsuburaya has all the complete elements and audio tracks.

Classic Media is selling both titles exclusively via their web site until a wider release early next year. Maybe pre-orders weren't high enough?

According to someone claiming to work for Jack Chertok Productions, elements for all 26 episodes of My Living Doll have been located and are being restored for an eventual DVD release. Link below: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...d.php?t=177816

I have now seen some reports that the audio switches are a player-related issue. It seems rather fitting that a release that was already under a cloud has been so shoddily manufactured as well.

I've seen some disagreement over this issue; more than one person has stated that nothing in terms of dialogue was originally cut from the English dubs, and that the reversion to the Japanese track is due to BCI being given cut versions of the dubs. Which, given their already shady behavior...

Haven't seen it, but maybe the R1 is a converted PAL transfer, which would account for the two minute disparity.
