    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Incredible Hulk -- in Blu-ray

    Todd writes: No offense, but welcome to last year. I agree that the IH is reference all the way, but does this need a new thread considering this was released 7-8 months ago? --- I for one welcome any comments about any film on disc by RAH, no matter when they were released. Not all of...

    Looking for a replacement for my B&K Ref 50

    I had the B&K Ref 30 back in the day. I also got tired of waiting for upgrades and switched to the Anthem AVM 20. It is awesome, works much more intelligently than the B&K and sounds better. I would recommend looking at the current Anthem lineup, including the Statement D2 if it's in your price...

    Toy Story 2: Special Edition..... due Dec. 26th

    Can Dave or anyone else clarify whether the DTS track on the new disc is the new mix or whether it is the original mix ported to DTS. I ask because, while I agree that the DTS track is far superior to the DD track on the UTB, I have to say that the new DD track is better yet. Seems to have a lot...

    Settings for Fellowship of the Ring Complete Recordings DVD...

    Hi, As Doug wrote, it sounds like you are using the digital output on your DVD player to the Anthem. To hear the hi-res surround with the Anthem (I have one, too), you need to use the direct 6-channel analog input on the Anthem, assuming your DVD supports this and has a 6 channel output...

    Weekly RoundUp 5/10/2005

    The Costco price on the Controversial Classics Collection is $52.99. Better than DDD and Amazon. My local Costco also had a case of Scrubs Season 1 out a week early, but it would not ring up at the register and they went and pulled them off the shelf. The price will be $26.99 when it goes on...

    Opinion: The Best and Worst DVD Commentary You've Listened To?

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the commentary on Blood Simple. Done tongue-in-cheek by a "film historian," it is a great satire on the whole commentary process. The guy is so deadpan when he makes such outrageous statements like the opening scene in the car being shot with the actors and...

    Whoa! :b Thanks for the heads up. Saved me $5 and a ton of disappointment when it came in the mail and I realized my error. Sorry for the confusion.

    Weekly RoundUp 4/19/05

    Some Deep Discount DVD prices: MST3K Vol. 7: $35.88 Four Feathers: $9.12 My Man Godfrey: $4.99 For $5, I think I have to try the Godfrey disc, even though I hate to "support" colorized versions. The B&W comparisons posted at the link above do indeed seem quite close to Criterion...

    Weekly RoundUp 3/1/05

    Thanks Mike, I saw that post, but he's in Ohio. We don't have BJs wholesale store up here that I know of. I should have said "Has anyone around here (in the northwest) seen it in a store?" Thanks again for your awesome work each week. It's the first click of the day every Sunday!

    Weekly RoundUp 3/1/05

    No Classic Comedies box at Costco, Borders, or Best Buy in Tacoma, and none at Costco and Best Buy in Olympia. Best Buy had all the individual titles, however. Did they not get the box out to retailers in this area for some reason? Anybody actually seen one in a store? Scott

    Ahhh.... I never clicked all the way through. I just saw the "Add to Queue" button and went back thinking it was rental only. Thanks!
