    That German set looks sweet. So no new word on when these might be released in Region 1?

    Live Aid finally gets DVD release [posted 3/8/2004]

    Man, there are a lot of songs missing that I would really like to see, especially those by the Style Council, Black Sabbath and Neil Young. A purchase of this will depend on what kind of deals the B&M stores are going to have.

    HTF REVIEW: Once Upon a Time in the West (Very Highly Recommended!)

    Cees - my impression of that moment was always; Harmonica as a kid stood and held his brother up as long as he could until he finally collapsed. He uses his pain over his brother hanging to drive him for years until he finally gets revenge on Frank. My question is; what does Harmonica do after...

    HTF REVIEW: Once Upon a Time in the West (Very Highly Recommended!)

    Wow - it is so nice to see all of the positive reaction on this film. It's the first movie poster I ever bought (would love to have a poster with the DVD cover), I own two versions of the soundtrack, I used to put my daughter to bed humming Jill's theme and have sang it's praises to others for...

    HTF REVIEW: Once Upon a Time in the West (Very Highly Recommended!)

    I watched the movie and the first two documentaries. Simply put - amazing! Fantastic picture and sound. There were scenes that seemed brand new to me. One that stands out is the way station where we first meet Cheyenne. I never knew how many people where actually in that building - it was always...

    HTF REVIEW: Once Upon a Time in the West (Very Highly Recommended!)

    I have anxiously awaited for this movie since I first bought a DVD player because The Good, The Bad and The Ugly DVD had additional scenes on it. Nov. 18 will be like a holiday for me. I can't wait.

    Cutting a hole in the wall for rear projection TV?

    The back of my TV will be completely open - plenty of ventilation where it's going. Thanks for the advice - might start this next week!

    Cutting a hole in the wall for rear projection TV?

    Cutting a hole in the wall for rear projection TV?

    Ron - my wall isn't 2 feet thick - the TV is!:D I will pick up the extra space by moving the TV behind the wall. It's not a load-bearing wall and is only drywall and exposed studs in back. Should be fairly simple, but would like to see other examples or read anyone's experience doing this.

    Cutting a hole in the wall for rear projection TV?

    I know I've seen this done by someone here, but can't find any examples doing a search. I have a small dedicated HT room in the basement and thought I might add a couple of feet by cutting a hole in my wall and placing my 61" Tosh WS behind it so only the screen protrudes from the wall. It's...

    GODZILLA is coming!

    Speaking of original Japanese dialogue - Is it possible to get the original Japanese Godzilla (sans Raymond Burr)? With subtitles? I've always wanted to see it.

    "Once Upon ... West" cover art - will it survive?

    This is absolutely the best DVD cover I have seen, for one of the best movies I have seen. Please don't screw this disc up Paramount!
