    Press Release Warner Archive Press Release: Pump Up the Volume (1990) (Blu-ray)

    This title has been on my "most wanted on Blu" list since I got into the format. Watched it last night and it looks and sounds fantastic! Thanks WHV. I can finally get rid of the old snapper-case which broke several years ago.

    Official 2020 Oscar Nominations Thread

    I'm a little disappointed Knives Out didn't receive a Production Design nom. I thought that mansion set was one of the best I've ever seen.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Now, Voyager - in Blu-ray

    Great to hear such a positive review, RAH. One of my favorite Bette Davis movies. And Gladys Cooper's character is one of the scariest villains in movie history!

    Knives Out (2019)

    Thoroughly enjoyed this one even though I went in knowing nothing about it other than it sported an outstanding cast. As such, I didn't get the joke when Ransom said "CSI:KFC" because I didn't realize Daniel Craig was doing a southern accent. D'oh! Definitely one of those movies you can enjoy...

    Any Chance of 21st Anniversary HTF Meet in 2018?

    Thanks for the thoughtful status update, Ron. Sorry to hear the Hollywood meets may be no more, but totally understandable. The logistics were immense and the work the owners had to put into those meets must have been overwhelming. As a passenger in the van that had the wrong directions to...

    Broadcast TV The Good Place - Season 3

    Not to complicate the search for the last person to get into the Good Place but didn't Eleanor, a modern woman (by our standards), say she had been rattling around in Michael's various versions of the Good Place for 300 years?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Valley Girl -- in Blu-ray

    I lived in the Valley in the early 80's and it is good to see this wonderful time-capsule of a time and place. And yes, Brad, we said "bitchin" all the time. Deborah Foreman turns up in Real Genius in a much different (and smaller) role. Thanks RAH, I was planning on picking this up anyway -...

    Broadcast TV The Good Place - Season 3

    Those who have attended any of the HTF Hollywood Meets over the years might recognize the Randy "Macho Man" Savage Non-International Airport in Jacksonville was portrayed by the Convention Center of the Burbank Airport Marriott where we have picked up our van pool so many times to head to the...

    The Addams Family and/or The Munsters

    The Addams Family was appointment TV when I was little (although I had a lot of trouble staying up until 9pm in those days). As I became an old movie buff as an adult, I've come to appreciate some of the Hollywood roots in the cast. For example, the actor who played Uncle Fester also played...

    Blu-ray Review Little Orphant Annie (1918) Blu-ray Review

    It's good to see another one of Colleen Moore's films saved. I recently saw Why Be Good? and I was blown away by her. I think you sold me a Blu-ray, Matt!

    Directv HLG HDR

    Genie II (the one that has 4K) doesn't do whole-home DVR. I only watch in one room.

    TCM HD altering 1.33 films???

    This thread is giving me a sense of nostalgia for the OAR rants when I started on HTF. :)

    Directv HLG HDR

    Just got a new Genie HR54 on Monday to replace a ten-year old HR20 that finally gave up the ghost. Wanted the Genie II for the 4K but couldn't stand the idea of giving up 5 years' worth of accumulated recordings on the HR24 I kept.
