What intrigues me about this movie is that Ben Affleck's character is said to have Asperger's Syndrome, which is the same autism spectrum disorder that I have. That makes the movie fascinating to me. When most people think of autism spectrum disorders in movie characters, most people...

I think I'm getting a better grasp now. I'll consider the Leawo software for Multi-Region playback and the Blu-Ray player mentioned by Dave. I may be late to the Blu-Ray game, but better late than never. Sincerely, John Kilduff... I've read that you need to pay yearly for the Leawo software...

This is where it gets confusing for me, mainly because I never devoted the same passion to the hardware as I did to the software. I would really need to think about the matter of monitors and things like that. I suppose I could get a different monitor than the one I currently have, but I would...

Well, it's been a little over a year since I was last active in this thread, and I still haven't purchased an external Blu-Ray player for my computer, mainly because I'm still looking for a Multi-Region Blu-Ray player that I can use a USB cord to connect to my PC. I forget what model I was...

For me, editing has been a deal breaker with one show, and that's "Saturday Night Live". Although the 80s episodes I saw on Comedy Central in the 90s were the hour-long versions, they still retained the musical guests and quite a few sketches with copyrighted music. When I had a Netflix...

I saw that the AMPAS Facebook page paid tribute to him. I wonder if that means they'll acknowledge him in the Oscars In Memoriam next month. I hope they do include him, and Alex "Moe Greene" Rocco as well. Sincerely, John Kilduff... Failing that, I hope they'll both be included in the In...

There were deleted scenes on the original MGM DVD, but as is par for the course with most of Olive Films' MGM titles, extras from previous editions tend to not be included. Rather disappointed in that, so I would recommend holding on to the MGM DVD for the extras and picking up the Blu-Ray for...

Thanks for the clarification. No matter what you are or aren't able to locate, I think you're doing a fantastic job, and I hope that we'll see more releases from the 70s and 80s to come. Sincerely, John Kilduff... If I may, even though you've said no on two of them in the past, I'm still...

I have a question. When it comes to Trailer Galleries, does that mean the original theatrical trailer and trailers for related titles (be it genre or star), or just trailers for related titles? I know that several of the film noir Blu-Rays you've released have had trailers for other films, but...

i had read that there were originally going to be two hosts this year. I'm guessing they couldn't find someone who they felt would be a good match with Mr. Rock. I'd like to see a Steve Martin return someday, preferrably solo, but matched up with Chris Rock could've been interesting...

Thanks for the compliment, Aaron, and you're right that it is spelled out in the closing narration, but I talk about TV Tropes several times in the article, and on their page for "The Breakfast Club", some of the Tropers seem to have missed that narration, thus the discussion of Alternate...

I actually don't think the ending was cruel or heartbreaking at all. I know we're supposed to sympathize with Gary (Lawrence Monoson), but...Well, take a look at this article I wrote a few months back, and you'll see what I think of the movie's ending, as well as several other 80s films...

Several years ago, back when I wrote for RetroJunk, I wrote a poem about 80s movies: http://www.retrojunk.com/article/show/2929/the-neon-screen More germane to the subject, I had a poem published in a national anthology in high school. It was a piece I wrote about surviving high school with...

I was saddened by Mr. Nimoy's passing as well. While not a hardcore "Star Trek" fan, I did really enjoy "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home". It was funny, and Nimoy as Spock had some of the best lines. (Getting off the bus immediately after he and Kirk get on) "What does it mean, exact change?"...

There was a movie in 1985 called "Radioactive Dreams". It was directed by Albert Pyun and produced by the production company Manson International. I've seen the MGM logo preceding many recent broadcasts of titles from the Manson International library...Is "Radioactive Dreams" one of them, and if...
