Excellent stuff! Singin in the Rain is just what I wish they had done.

But their audience is not all at death's door, and there are lots of other products and services we buy, those assisted living geriatric products shouldn't be the vast majority of what they pitch to us, and for quite a while, they have been. Like in life, it would be nice to see a little more...

I'm getting VERY tired of the promos that dance around and linger onscreen during programs, the ID bugs were bad enough. I've been kinda surprised how many bodily functions are more than hinted at during commercials: there was the girl talking about how she bought white silk sheets (or panties...

Yeah I got that, I knew what it was, I was hoping for a more detailed description of how it was done... My original question was: "I wonder how the "Disney Intermission" is being presented here - if it differs in style and presentation from the one on "The Muppets" (the Jason Segal vehicle...

Nobody has said that everybody who disagrees is new, though it has proven true in many cases when people who haven't posted before bring up points already covered, they likely haven't read them.

You indicated you are getting some signals from the NON HD satellites. If they were no longer used to carry SD duplicates they could probably carry some HD channels. Then there is the idea mentioned about putting your disc where there IS a line of sight and burying the cable back to your...

I'm aware of the LOS (line of sight) issue, which means that the particular satellites that carry the HD channels are obstructed by something near the customer's dish. Not much they can do about that, but as I said, if they stop carrying SD duplicate versions of HD channels, it will free up...

Hi John. what post are you referring to? Forgive me if it's been asked before, but can you tell us a bit about your past Cinerama experiences in Australia? Did you ever get to Mr. Mitchell's back yard?

Agreed. And that is what people who like the other version ignore. We're not saying they should not have their cut, too, but when they try to argue that the song cut was planned for, or better, people are going to disagree. You could remove any one of us from the discussion, and the...

One has. The fact is, while the people who LIKE what the director does will defend him, those who don't will not, often to a rabid and insane degree. I recall one member posting that the version he didn't like should be burned, buried, etc. and should NEVER ever again flicker on any screen...

Clearly. No respect for the filmmaker nor the story.

Nothing inappropriate about appreciating that you're appreciated. I like all the above that I saved from your quote, as for the last 3, i was around when they came out and the disc covers have just gotten worse and worse as they have (in most cases) refused to use the original key art...

Fantastic work as always. You're amazingly talented. I think I read somewhere that you like other genres besides the action movies we mostly see here. Do you ever do covers for musicals, comedies, classics, holday movies, etc?

When they stop charging extra for HD channels and dump the standard def versions (letting the converter boxes do the math (as they already do) for SDTVs, there will be a lot of space freed up on their satellites for more channels. The phone agents for DTV don't know much, if any, more than you...

I have First Christmas from that same R/B archivist. I also communicated with the man behind the Mr. Magoo Christmas Carol book (excellent, by the way) and he said that the people at Classic Media were pretty apathetic about these titles, (obviously) and those people went with the sale so are...
