    The Beatles caused the disintegration of mankind

    Currently this site seems to be down. Thank goodness I copied the content a few minutes before, just in case something like this happened, so that I could make sure a few of my Beatle friends had the opportunity to be amused by this diatribe:) There is so much funny stuff in here...I really...

    42" Plasma - Panasonic EDTV or Dell HDTV?

    Definately go with the Panasonic. I bought one a couple of months ago (upgraded my 65" Widescreen Toshiba RPTV) and absolutely love it. I also spent much time comparing the ED sets with the HD sets and IMO there was not enough picture improvement to justify the added cost. I don't care about...

    Dead DVD Titles!

    Interesting thread...gotta check out my copies of any discs that are mentioned as possible candidates. Last year my copy of Carlito's Way stopped playing in any of my players (since I was wanting to upgrade to the new release I just trashed the old one and picked up the new one)...a few days...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Highly Recommended)

    Missed it in the theater...you did have to be quick! Watched the DVD this afternoon, and although I pretty much knew that I was gonna like it...simply exceeded my highest expectations by a mile. A beautiful, unusual, resonant, and emotionally charged film. Easily the best I've seen this year...

    What's your favorite time period for pop music?

    Easy....'77-'79. Punk hit and new wave was swelling, music was vibrant and alive. It was an incredibly exciting time musically! Here we have some newly arriving artists and some others who were at the peak (to me) of their careers...Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Blondie, Joe Jackson, The Clash...

    George Harrison's concert for bangladesh--is it avalible on dvd?

    I'm waiting for an official release of this DVD. Really great concert would sound awesome in DTS. Billy Preston's performance of "That's The Way God Planned It" alone is worth the price of admission!

    Criterion's The Battle of Algiers & John Cassavetes: Five Films announced!

    Man, I can't WAIT to get the Cassavetes set! An extraordinary filmaker who has been woefully under-represented on DVD. I only wish Mikey and Nicky was included in the set.

    Sugarland Express: Will this have DTS?

    Highly underated...one of my favorite Spielberg films. I'll be very happy to finally replace my laserdisc. Since I spent quite a bit of time on differents sets of this picture, I'm really hoping for extensive supplemental material!

    Bands/Singers on DVD that blew you away!

    Electric Light Orchestra's Zoom Tour Live is BY FAR my favorite concert DVD. The audio/video, production values are top-notch and the performances are incredible. This DVD is the concert DVD that I measure all others by.

    Would you buy Martin (starring Martin Laurence) as season sets?

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW---House of Sand and Fog

    Just finished watching House of Sand and Fog this morning. An extremely powerful film, which includes, without doubt, three of the greatest performances you'll see this year...or any other year. I haven't seen Mystic River yet, but it's difficult to imagine a performance that topped Kingsley's...
