"The Hunger" -one of my favorite films of the 80's is sorely missing from MGM's DVD catalog. Anyone know why? Or when it can be expected? Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve - what more could one ask? Len "There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." -Leonard Cohen

$9.75 for a pre-viewed copy at BlockBuster ($12.99 less 25% during their current sale).

Everything But The Girl - "Like the Deserts Miss the Rain" A retrospective, with a bunch of new/alternate mixes. Sublime (the adjective, not the band). ETBTG rules!! Ani DiFranco - "Evolve" Transatlantic - "Bridge Across Forever" Prog rock hasn't sounded this good since I was a teen...

The $9.99 deal is over, at least for now. Anyone have any scoop on what/when BB's next sale will be? (Hopefully the "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" deal?) :) Len Simons

I find myself once again listening to this masterpiece, speechless. Bound by the beauty of what just might be the greatest musical treatise on love, the loss of love, the gift of it, love's redemptive power, our basic human need to give and receive it. I cannot imagine any more eloquent and...

Well in THAT case, Dave.... wanna buy a really cool "Summer Lovers" DVD? Cheap? :)

Dave, My bad. And I even read your roundup that included the notice about this disaster of a chop job. Somehow I missed your warning on this title so didn't cancel my pre-order. Maybe selective vision in action? (I was really looking forward to this release.) Anyway, I'll be double...

I pre-ordered Summer Lovers (a guilty pleasure from the '80s) from DeepDiscoutDVD.com for $9.36 all in. "What a great price!", I thought. It arrived today whereupon I found out why (much to my disgust); it's pan & scam only. The worst part is that this is most likely the only version MGM will...

You can't get free shipping and the $2.50 discount; it's an either/or deal.

Well, looks like K-Mart decided they didn't want to go through with their end of the bargain after all. Can't say I'm really surprised, but I CAN say that it's the last time they'll get any of my business. Here's the e-mail they sent today. I especially like the part where they invite a reply...

Update: After spending a very long time on the phone with Kmart.com customer service, here is what they agreed to do to resolve the issue: I am to order the Gift Set once again, at full price ($62.98!). Once it ships, they will credit me the difference between the new order total and the...

Now I've seen everything. I'd ordered the 3-disc collectors set E.T. from K-Mart.com's website a couple of weeks ago, for $24.24 plus shipping. Yesterday I received a box from K-Mart.com via USPS that was much larger than it needed to be (about 20" x 8" x 8"). It was also much lighter than...

In the long run, it's a moot point. It won't be long before all new TV's sold in this country will be, like most of Europe, 16x9. The people who complain today about those black bars on the top & bottom of the screen will start complaining about the bars on the sides of their screen. And the...

I find I've been buying a number of pre-viewed DVDs from BB lately. It's hard to resist prices ranging from $6.99 to $9.99. Since the discs are guaranteed against defects, the only real problem with this is that about 96% of the time the inserts are missing. Does anyone know whether it is...

I too prefer the Steve Martin/Bernadette Peters remake. Hopefully it will be released soon, in enhanced widescreen. And maybe, if it's not too much, an alternate 5.1 audio track? One of Herbert Ross' better directorial efforts, IMHO (sorry all you Footloose fans).

"CQ" and "The Cat's Meow". Both at BB's $9.99 sale. I LOVE it when BB actually sells PV discs that aren't top 5 titles. Of course, I'm waiting for my pre-ordered Band of Brothers, Spiderman, and next week's bounty.

My vote goes to Diana Krall -Live In Paris as well. Outstanding video and sound, especially the DTS mix. Also recommended very highly: James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theater. Unfortunately not 16x9 and no DTS, but phenomenal DD 5.1 sound and superb video quality. I wasn't sure if I'd like...

Tried to order A Bug's Life (which the site shows as in stock), but it was "Removed from my cart", as it is no longer available. These guys need to work on their website. Len

They also have Back To The Future for $43.39 (CDN), which is about $28.50 US, and Beauty & The Beast for $20.79 (CDN), which comes to about $13.72 US. This might be a good place to start shopping.

Gawd I miss the 80's. Not that there isn't lots of good music floating around these days, but in the the 80's you'd ACTUALLY HEAR SOME OF IT ON THE RADIO! Not a lot, I'll grant you, but some. Anyway, I stumbled upon a DVD of Soft Cell, Live in Milan, recorded this year in, yes, you guessed...

I actually saw this on display last week in Wal-Mart. It looked like at least 27 of its 157 pixels were "dead". I mean it really looked a lot like a postage stamp that had been badly cancelled by the post office. $199 is WAY too much for this item. For just over $300, one can get a 7" Mintek...

www.overstock.com has The Doors - Special Edition for $7.99 (+$1.40 S&H). Their site doesn't specify whether it is the 1 or 2-disc version.

Went to Target for ET with the K-Mart flyer in hand. They had lots of Widescreen copies and a handful of PoS, er sorry, P&S, all marked at $16.99. I took one up to the service counter and had no problems getting K-Mart's price matched. About the only complaint I have is that there's no...

The catch is that it's a total scam! The warranty page talks about how they'll credit your charge card back if you return the unit, but the order page informs you that they don't take charge cards, only electronic debits. These guys want your checking account information. BEWARE!! :angry:

Hey all you 16:9 TV owners, when you watch regular 4:3 TV broadcasts on your widescreen sets, what screen setting do you use? I've just made the move to a Pioneer SD643HD5 16:9 RPTV. It's great when watching DVDs from a Panasonic RP-91 using progressive scan and component cables, but I can't...

If the Sony 65XBR won't fit up the stairs, how would they get the Mitsubishi 65909 up there? They're about the same size, are they not?

UPDATE After 13 days the Yamaha DVD C920 crapped out entirely. It would not read ANY disc, CD or DVD. I returned it to The Good Guys store where it was purchased. They took it back with no questions asked, and I replaced it with the Panasonic RP-91K. Not a changer, but the changer...

I purchased the C920 last week, based on the fact that it does indeed do pretty much everything. (Or does it?) I am very happy so far with the video performance and with the DTS/DD decoding. I haven't tried the Progressive output, as I don't have a capable TV yet, but the S-Video output is...
