I'm considering buying the UK version. Is the booklet that comes with TT's version worth the almost $20 more I'd have to spend?

Does the Blu-Ray set have all the contents from the "Keaton Plus" disc in the Kino DVD box set?

I'm sure it will be on sale at Thanksgiving or something. I'll pick it up eventually for about $10. The movie was good but if it doesn't have any extras I'm weary of paying over $10 for it.

They're still windowboxing their transfers? SIGH...

Putting aside the talk of rights for a moment, how are these films? Are they more of historical interest because they were directed by Hitchcock or are they also good films? And can a film be PD in one country and not PD in another?

I liked Blades of Glory. I liked it better than Talledega Nights, which had funny moments here and there but was a bloated film. But there is an obvious formula to these films. Cocky (insert profession here) becomes washed up (or is already washed up) and must come back to fame. He needs to stop...

I just picked up season 1 and, like many others, are dismayed at the video quality. The pilot looks the worst, but the other episodes are still not as good as they should be. Ideally Columbia Tristar would go back to the original film and video elements, but I don't see that happening :frowning:

I'm surprised Universal didn't release a fuller SE of Shaun of the Dead to coincide with the theatrical release of Hot Fuzz.

Hell yeah! This movie is awesome.

I'm glad I bought this DVD. What a GREAT movie. I haven't seen anything like it. I only wish I hadn't missed it in the theaters. I had two problems with the video transfer, though. 1) Blacks were not quite black throughout the entire film. I don't know if it was intentional, but it looked...

I got the Superbit Leon ($4.99 at Fry's a few of weeks ago) and yeah, the picture quality is dull. Are the audio and video improved on the 2-disc special edition?

How can this film be played back?

Jason, I'm with you on that commercial (and on ear buds). Plus, he's listening to Fall Out Boy (blecch).

What are some good widescreen LCD monitors to use for video editing and manipulation as well as watching DVDs? The Apple cinema displays seem to be pretty good, but is there anything comparable for a lower price?

I haven't noticed that Ira Glass turns r's and l's into w's, but I'll have to listen for it. Daniel Shore's speech is weird to me. Its hard to explain what exactly it is that seems off.

I don't know about that. There's probably a lot more demand for HD movies than for multichannel music.

I have three of the Treasures tins sitting unwatched on my shelf. I'll have to watch them. Snow White is the only feature disc I've seen. IIRC it looked a little too grainless for a film from the 1930s.

What about the one with the cow driving the meat delivery truck? Gary Larson sure thought about cow cannibalism (cownnibalism) a lot...

I had no idea these were so bad. That Pinocchio candle shot is particularly disappointing. Did Disney get any of these animated films right on DVD?

I have the Prehistory of Far Side, which includes some letters to the editor. I can understand how people were offended by the cartoon where the cat is hanging outside (not hanged, but hanging) and a man inside the house is saying, "The dog ain't going for the new cat." It looks like they tied...

Well, it wouldn't have to be 60p... :)

Are there any hi-def security video cameras out there? Surely these would produce better footage than the crappy looking security camera footage we sometimes see on the news when a convenience store is robbed.

This is worth checking out. I found it overwhelming (in a good way) on the big screen, but I look forward to seeing it again.

Was Seinfeld one of the earliest shows to not have a theme song? Or were there others before?

This was fun to watch once in the theater. Its not the camp classic it was made out to be but go in expecting a cliched action thriller with some CGI snakes and you'll have a good time. I can't watch it again, though!

Was Murnau's film Four Devils ever found?

The R1 version of series 1 includes a translation of "Slough slang" for American viewers who may not understand all the words or references. Its probably best to get the original PAL versions so you don't have to deal with PAL to NTSC issues, but I own the R1 discs and they look fine.

I got my first pair in the 7th grade when I couldn't read the blackboard. I could see everything so much clearer after that, especially the cute girls in class that I couldn't see before :) I haven't changed my prescription in 5 or 6 years since I can still read at a pretty good distance...

Artificial Eye in the UK released very good DVDs of the Apu Trilogy. I believe they were taken from HD masters, so Criterion could use these. And they include a few pretty good extras, though some commentaries would be welcome. Columbia totally f***ed up their region 1 discs. Eureka released...

The Simpsons- I will not get any seasons beyond season 7. The show went downhill after that.
