2 questions, actually. First, I have a Malata player (DVP-520) and have noticed on the PAL DVD's a 'shimmer' effect, especially on bright scenes with sharp details and the edge's of the letterbox. This is only present on PAL DVD's and not on NTSC. It is quite annoying, and only tolerable...

I knew this would happen...I just purchased D&C on DVD a couple months ago, had been holding out for a new edition...dummy! Jim

Since nobody can confirm anything about the Forbidden Planet SE, that will top my list... Forbidden Planet SE Superman The Movie (ABC cut) This title deserves a full-on 2 discer! Batman Returns SE - Not a hige fan of the Batman films, but this was the better one, the play between...

Any word on the Forbidden Planet SE that's been mentioned many times before? Also, Goodfellas SE? Thanks Jim

You are correct, that line of dialog existed. Jim

Any recomendations for MAC users?

Suck! Every year I look forward to their Aug. release of Midnite Movies! I hope they don't eliminate the line, I agree with Paul, the only line they are consistant on. It seem's they have gradually scaled back every year or so, in the beginning it was a quarterly release sched. if I remember...

Plus, there's ALWAYS a reason to like or dislike something, you just may not know what it is, or be able or willing to elaborate. Jim

I don't believe for a second that movie geeks,buff's, etc. can be too 'fussy'! If your critisicsm is based on some knowledge of the filmaking process and love of the craft and not simply uneducated, vile dialog. I mean, I say a movie 'sucks' or 'rocks' often enough, but I will always elaborate...

I do know what you mean. Batman is a title that stands out as being a movie I refused to admit was not as good as It should have been. I remember being so jazzed to see it during my senior year that I wouldn't accept it not being a great film, saw it about 5 times in the theater over a 4 month...

Hey look, I think were the three people who liked this one! :D

Damn! I keep forgetting to look for this when I'm out...thanks for reminding me! This is a really good neo-noir, a must get! Thanks Jim p.s. DVDempire has it in stock if you want to order online.

For fun and ideas, I'm looking for as many people as possible to list 10 (in no particular order) horror movies you plan on watching this week before Halloween. Here's mine... The Thing ('82) The Haunting (the original) Night of the Living Dead (B&W and/or remake) Halloween (yeah, I...

GOD I hate to be this person, but I love the original poster art and kind of wish they used it, or some variation of it. No biggie, this one is mine when it hit's shelves! Later
