    WHV Announcement: Seven Sci-Fi Thrillers on Blu-ray for the First Time

    Any sign of a review for Outland yet? DVD Beaver has Coma, Altered States and Brainstorm up now, but Outland is the one I'm most anxious about after its horrid previous releases.

    Discs not loading - player or media problem?

    I am running into this more and more. Buy a new disc and the player refuses to load it, then after several attempts (5-20 tries) finally does and the disc plays fine. The next time I go to play the disc, same problem. I have seen this on two discs in the Deadwood set, and most recently...

    Any word on NORTHERN EXPOSURE coming to Bluray?

    Title pretty much says it all. While it's doubtful we'll ever get the original soundtrack restored, I would sure like to see this upgraded to HD.

    BD Live - anyone else wish this would go away?

    Who else wishes the studios would just abandon this "feature" and go back to putting extras on the discs? I have bought a number of BRs that advertise BDLive only to discover that the content is "no longer available" on every single one of them. If you aren't going to keep the content available...

    Has Criterion given up on Picnic at Hanging Rock?

    Yet another batch of title announcements, yet another month with no Picnic at Hanging Rock. As one of the titles included in last year's (or the year before?) poll for most requested title, it baffles me why there hasn't been any movement on this release. There are two Blurays available...

    20th Anniversary Dances With Wolves on Blu in January 11

    Looking forward to this, however details are still sketchy. I'm hoping this includes both the theatrical and extended cuts, but there is conflicting information so far as to which version this is.

    Ghost in the Shell 2.0 - poor quality original version?

    I bought this title based on the reports that the original version of the film was included in high def, only to discover that the quality is really poor, at least at 1080i. There is chroma noise everywhere, every line is alive with color banding. I don't remember the DVD looking anywhere near...

    Do you buy DVDs with hard subtitles?

    Just a quick survey - I am wondering what your opinion is of foreign language DVDs being released with only hard (burned in) subtitles. Would this affect your decision to buy at all?

    Sense and Sensibility up for preorder on Amazon.ca

    No release date listed, but this is one I would gladly rebuy in high def. Is there really only a couple of Hugh Grant films available on BR?

    Getting more confused than ever about BD.

    I can't be the only one who is getting more and more confused about what the move to BD is going to require. I currently own (and do not plan on replacing) a Toshiba HD capable set, (1080i component only). I also own a Pioneer receiver with both coax and optical DD inputs - no HDMI, no DTS...

    JVC tube TV black box on screen problem

    Just throwing this out there in case someone here has run into this problem. A neighbor has a fairly recent JVC TV (don't know the model, its about a 30-36") which began displaying a black rectangle over the image for no apparent reason. The box looks to be the size of the menu background...

    Californication worth a blind buy?

    Title says it all. We didn't have Showtime until after the first season was over, but the show looked like something I might like. Thoughts?

    Price fixing now legal in the US?

    For the past 96 years, the practice of price fixing (ie. fixing the minimum price) was illegal in the US, but apparently this has now been overturned (was a while ago), meaning that companies can now force their dealers to not discount products anymore. I have already seen the effects of this...

    Canadian dollar worth more than US dollar

    In Canada, the exchange rate is fairly well known and talked about, but I wonder if most Americans are even aware of this situation, with their dollar weakening significantly against other world currencies? I remember back when I was a little kid going to the US and the Canadian dollar was worth...

    In case anyone missed it, Hen's Tooth Video is releasing both They Call Me Trinity and Trinity is Still My Name in new anamorphic widescreen transfers on Sept. 4, available individually or in a Trinity Twin Pack (as Amazon calls it).

    Once & Again S3 news

    TVShowsonDVD has posted news about the license for O&A expiring, and how the hunt is on for someone to license the show. I'm thinking Shout Factory would be an obvious home. I would like to see this series finally get completed on DVD. Anyone else?

    Black Walnuts - what do I do with them?

    I have a huge Black Walnut tree, and every year I wind up with a couple of wheelbarrows full of the nuts, which are rock hard and make a big mess when the fruit is still on them. I am wondering if there is anything useful I can do with these?

    US vs Canadian DVD pricing

    Is anyone else getting tired of the discrepancy between US and Canadian pricing these days? Looking at the M*A*S*H complete series set, the US version lists for $199US (roughly $230CDN), the Canadian at $349CDN - over 50% more. Amazon.com has been pushing their Canadian site for some time now...
