    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    If these are the same cases that my Bjork Volumen disk came in then count me in as one who likes them. They are sleek and hard plastic. Bring em on.

    "Punch-Drunk Love" is confirmed an SE for 6/10

    Well, count me in as being highly disapointed that there is no commentary or documentary. To be sure, I'll be buying it on street date; but that was a forgone conclusion. I suppose that i understand the bitrate thing; but boogie nights had two commentaries and sounds pretty great to me. Of...

    *** Official "VIEW FROM THE TOP" Discussion Thread

    subject: Ebert loves the hiney. Ummm, YEAH. I've definetly noticed that, especially his jolie infatuation. To be honest, the sex apeal of this movie is the prime motivating factor that almost made me go see it; but as of right now, I think a rental is the way to go.

    *** Official "VIEW FROM THE TOP" Discussion Thread

    I had noticed that ebert gave this film 3 stars, yet it's getting hammered on rotten tomatos. For anyone who has read ebert's review and seen the film; where did he go wrong in his analysis? Without having seen the film, I thought it had a chance to be funny.

    Novice Anime Discussion Part I

    Thanks for the explanations everyone. I suspected that it had something to do with the sexual content of the material. Hmmmm, I think I just might be a fan of "fan service". I've always been privy to panty flashes. Kong: Thanks for the comments. I guess what your saying is that the...

    Novice Anime Discussion Part I

    Hello everybody! can't say that I'm a totall newbie. I have a fair amount of knowledge concerning anime movies; but less so on series. As such, I have a couple of questions. I just started watching Cowboy Bebop (first disk and I love it); but i noticed something. Generally I listen to the...

    I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here!

    I am a sucker for reality television; but this was real bad. Very little content and three mini commercials in the show to tell you to vote. The host is a total joke and production values are pretty low. When -I- cant stand a reality tv show than they are doing something wrong.

    Ths Sopranos.....overrated?

    I can't believe that i'm falling for this trap; but I just can't hold back. No one can actually believe that people are tuning in (and dropping $80 a season!) to giggle when Tony says "fuck" can they? There is absolutely no doubt that being out from under the constraints of network television...

    Are defective DVDs becoming more and more common?

    Well, I can say that I have never purchases a defective dvd yet. I've had a couple that were scratched because the came loose of the holder; but all of them played. Of coure I've rented plenty that wouldn't play. For reference I don't purchase nearly as many dvd's as many here probobly due...

    Are Multiple releases of the Same film starting to Irk you ?

    In a word no. I'm an informed consumer who apreciates variety and options and never feels obligated to purchase something simply because a studio releases it. I'm a huge matrix fan; but i will not be purchasing the new release for a marginal increase in content from the two i already have. So...

    THE MATRIX...new 2-disc SE info + ANIMATRIX

    My guess is that they are simply attempting to offer something to all the new dvd player owners out while also dipping into the hype onlsaut that will be developing at that time. I think for many of us that got into dvd a few years back, Matrix may have been the first dvd we bought (it was for...

    Just bought DOGMA for $29 at suncoast video. Even other stores had this expensive..

    I love browsing through Suncoast at our mall for a few DVD's I've been looking for and then going down the hall to Target to find the same ones for $10+ less. Or maybe having to go down the street to Borders to find it at least 5+ dollars cheaper. There selection is pretty nice but Borders seems...

    New Line's Lord of the Rings DVD release strategy?

    I'm wondering about the extras that would be present on TTT extended disk. Many of the documentaries from the first one would seem to be redundant for the second and third. As an example, the perspective stuff. Very informative and fun to watch on FOTR; but I don't need to see it all again for...

    *** Official "STAR TREK: NEMESIS" Discussion Thread

    Mark... I gotta say that you put across my feelings in a much more articulate way than i did. Especially concerning the lack of charactor development (or simply lack of charactor completely) of some of our beloved B charactors. We were not looking for the story to revolve around them; we just...
