I already have the soundtrack, smartass.

Sorry, but this is an amazing piece of film music and the treatment it has received for the Star Wars DVD is not acceptable. This probably doesn't make much sense to most people, but I'm a much larger fan of film music than I am of films in general. I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I...

Is Columbia Tristar going to ever lower the price of Obsession? I probably would have bought that by now, but the MSRP of $24.95 sets the price a bit higher than I'm willing to pay.

Well it sounds like I'm probably going to be waiting until HD-DVD to see Star Wars in its proper aspect ratio. Until then I'll be continuing to watch my VHS dub of the pan and scan CED. Mistakes are mistakes, they are not "deliberate creative decisions." Somebody messed up the mix and now the...

Messed up music tracks = no sale.

Well that's good, Universal just saved me $10! :confused:

"Full Frame" for this film means 2.35:1, right? :)

But what about Annie?

Hmm, are these players going to require 2ghz processors in them to decode the crap?

I don't really care if it's THX-certified or not. I have plenty of THX titles (e.g. Moulin Rouge, The Sound of Music) that clearly could have used more quality control, but THX still took their check and allowed their logo to be slapped on them anyway. It's a useless logo and it means nothing...

I just don't understand why Sony determined that we needed to switch between color and B&W on the fly. Doesn't that lower the bandwidth available to both video streams?

Bruce Botnick claims that Star Trek: TMP is the first digitally recorded score. John Barry and Dan Wallin claim that The Black Hole is. I had never heard the claim about Star Trek: TMP until Botnick asserted it in the liner notes of the Nemesis SACD. The latest Star Trek: TMP CD from...

Well for once my procrastination has paid off.

I bought the "purple" version of The Omega Man at Borders. The packaging states both pan and scan and widescreen versions are included, but the disc inside was clearly the new, single sided, widescreen-only version. I certainly have no complaints with it.

Sadly there isn't an isolated score track on the Anchor Bay release. This is the first digitally-recorded score and the one that got me interested in film music in general, so I'd love to see Disney allow somebody to release it on CD. Can anybody determine if this is the same 5.1 mix that...
