    Criterion Flash Sale

    Everything 50% off direct from Criterion. Not a bad deal at all. Have they ever done this before? I wouldn't have known, but I recently signed up for their newsletter.

    New Outland DVD?

    Stumbled upon this at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Outland-Bill-B...5181565&sr=8-2 Looks like it is just a re-packaging. Would be great though to finally have a 16x9 version, even if it is just in standard DVD. The first release is beyond terrible, even by early DVD standards.

    Marie Antoinette Blu-Ray?

    Finally got a Blu-ray player and was going to order this. Nobody has it in stock. Was it ever released? I could have sworn I saw it in a store once, but now I think I imagined it. Anybody know what the status on this one is?

    Medal of Honor: Vanguard (PS2)

    Just wondering if anybody has had a chance to check this out yet. I know the MOH games are kind of generic, but I like them anyway. I wanted to know about the control scheme? Did they use the same crappy one on the last game with regards to movement or does it have a scheme like most FPS games...

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail question (original Columbia release)

    I tried searching, but I could not find anything. IIRC, was there not a problem with the original release of this DVD. Somebody mentioned this to me, but could not recall what it was. I have the original 2-disc Columbia special edition. Everything seems fine to me. Is there something I am...

    HDMI Cable/Aspect Ration Button Question

    Not sure if this is the best place to post this. My Panasonic widescreen TV (hi-def, not flat panel, about two years old, don't know the model # offhand) has an HDMI input/output. I bought some cables ($20 ones at Sam's Club). The picture quality is light years better than the component...

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - trailer only viewable from 10PM to 4AM?

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/tcm_thebeginning/ Pu-leeze... It is always 10PM to 4AM somewhere in the world. Is this a marketing ploy, or are they afraid the moral custodians in DC will go after the movie and the producers? Anyway, I'm sure the movie will be good, brainless...

    GTA: Liberty City Stories

    How is this game (for the PS2)? I know nothing about the PSP version. Does it look and feel like a regular GTA game? Any input would be great. Thanks, Jason

    Half Life 2 - Best Price?

    I see that this dropped down to $29.99 about a month ago. I really want to get this game, but I know as soon as I buy it, it will be on sale somewhere for $14.99 or $19.99. Anybody when this might go on sale at one of the B&Ms? Also, any comments about the game would be great. Would like...

    Fox and Warner Bros. Rebate Scams?

    Just wondering if anybody else has participated in the recent Fox promo where you can get up to $20 back if you buy 5 DVDs (included Kingdom of Heaven, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Fantastic Four and a few others) and the one from Warner Bros. where you get $5 back if you bought House of Wax and (IIRC) the...

    What's Up With John Grisham?

    I know, I know, he is brain candy. But still, it seems like clockwork he has a new book out every February. Nothing appears to be on the horizon. No mention of anything in the paperback edition of The Broker. Nothing on his website. I realize he is probably busy swimming around in all of the...

    From Russia With Love (XBOX) - Bug-Ridden?

    Anybody pick this up? Pretty decent, although not as good as Everything or Nothing. Anyway, on the level where you rescue the hostages and have to defuse the bombs (Station T) I've been having some issues. Sometimes when you go to open a door, the open door icon fails to appear unless you go...

    Is My Insurance Agent on Crack?

    Today I bought a new car, nothing special, just a Saturn Ion. Agent quotes me (approx.) $100 per month. Kind of a rip, considering I have driven for over 15 years without so much as a parking ticket or any type of warning from a cop. Whatever, fine I say. I have been paying (approx.) $50 per...

    The General (John Boorman) - Which version to watch?

    Just wondering what the "right" way to watch this movie is. Was it shown theatrically in color or black and white? What aspect ratio? I assume 2.35:1, even though the b&w side is 1.85:1 (correct aspect ratios seemed like they used to be a difficult concept for Columbia). Also, was this ever...

    James Clavell - The Asian Saga

    Thinking about reading some of his (long) books. Just curious if it matters what order you read them in. I know there is a chronological listing on the side of them ("The Asian Saga"). Should they be read in that order? the order he wrote them? They all sound pretty good to me (except King...

    The Morning After???

    Anybody ever hear about this one coming to DVD? I'm not sure who has the rights to it. IMDB mentions Fox.... I'm referring to the Jane Fonda movie from 1986, directed by Sidney Lumet.

    2 Component inputs on my TV, but I need 3. Help!

    I have a Panasonic widescreen TV, not sure of the model #. It only has two component inputs. I am using one for the DVD player and one for the HD cable. Without thinking, I bought the HD audio/video cables for my X-Box. I did not realize at the time that I only had 2 component inputs. Is...

    Oliver Stones Next Movie?

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...us_deserters_1 Not at all trying to start any kind of political discussion (I will say this story is fascinating to me for whatever reason) but, seriously, doesn't this have Oliver Stone written all over it? I could see Richard Farnsworth playing...

    Beware Deep Discount DVD when you move!

    I recently moved. On their website (well before the move) I changed my billing and shipping address. Several titles recently shipped (including the Scorsese box) but they shipped them to the old address! They won't be forwarded either, but returned to DDD! I called and they stated I should...

    What is John Carpenter up to theses days?

    I've checked The Internet Movie Database, his website and some other sites out there. Doesn't seem to be anything new on him. Most don't seem like they have been updated since Ghosts of Mars. Just wondering if anybody has heard or read anything.

    Any good wine websites/databases?

    I'm guess I'm sort of looking for an Internet Movie Database type website that is dedicated to wine. Anybody know of one? Thanks.

    Rudest &#$@^%$ Driver Ever!!!

    This happened this morning, on my way to work. I was in the left turn lane (its one of those where you can only go on the green arrow). The asshole in front of me, in a Mercedes, gets out of his car when the light turns to the green arrow. Coffee mug in hand, he casually opens the back door and...

    Anybody's Bridget Jones Diary DVD die on them?

    Mine used to play fine, now it freezes up on the layer change (when she is on the train, about 1:25-1:28 or so into the movie) on my Sony Nc615. I can fast forward and usually get out of it It won't even load on my S3000. No scratches, fingerprints, etc. Sounds like another case of DVD-Rot.

    Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball Question (Cheat Related)

    Does the topless mode really work? Supposedly if you finish two weeks in 13 minutes or less, you can unlock the topless mode. I can't seen to do it in less than 14. Is this true or B.S.?
