    DTS/DD on Pan-and-Scan DVD? Why bother?

    After reading the news that Fox is releasing 2 editions of "The Passion" on DVD, I thought about this again... I've never understood the reasoning for including a multichannel (DTS/DD) track on a P&S DVD. Have studios actually done any marketing studies and found that people who own...

    "First Daughter" (2004) and "Chasing Liberty" (2004) - Same release date?

    Not one, but TWO films about the president's daughter are apparently being released on January 9, 2004. I'm sure that the release dates will be changed, but I still find this hilarious. First Daughter Chasing Liberty

    La Meglio gioventu (The Best of Youth)

    Any news on an upcoming DVD release of this film (in any region)? I've seen it available from Italian etailers (R2), but it didn't contain English subtitles. I've also heard rumors that it will be released on DVD in France next April, so I might have to wait for that one. I know that Miramax...

    Different films, Same score

    I've been trying to think of examples where the same music was used in several films. Most of the time, these are classical pieces that are simply used between films, but many times it feels like the film's entire score is recycled music. In the last 2-3 years, I think I've seen over a dozen...

    Mathematicians... I need help :)

    I'm trying to get some more information about a problem I'm trying to solve, and I figured that this would be the best place to ask. Basically, assume that we have N people and we would like them to pair up and talk for a few minutes. After a few minutes, I'd like them to swap partners and...

    D-Skin - Anyone try these?

    http://www.d-skin.com/ Basically, it's a thin protective film that you put on the data side of a CD (or DVD). It helps prevent scratches, and it stays on while you play the disc (apparently, it's removable too). However, I'm very skeptical about it, and I was wondering if anyone had used...

    The films of Louis de Funès - Available in Region 1

    Attention, fans of French cinema! :) Well, this week I picked up "Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob" on DVD! Other than on the MontrealDVD forums, I hadn't heard any news on when this film was going to be released in Region 1. Suffice to say, I was very surprised to see this on the shelf while...

    A simple solution to the MP3 file sharing debate

    I apologize if this point has been made before, but I wanted to know your opinions on a suggestion I made on another message board. It seems that record companies (and the artists) feel that MP3-sharing websites and programs (Napster, Kazaa, etc) are a threat to CD sales. So, record companies...

    Electronic subtitles

    One of the new additions to this year's Montreal World Film Festival, was the implementation of an electronic subtitling system. Since the audience in Montreal is bilingual (French/English), a lot of the times it was necessary to show films with subtitles in two languages. Thanks to this new...

    Am I crazy? (Toronto International Film Festival)

    I'm thinking of driving to Toronto (6 hours) just to watch a couple of movies for the International Film Festival. My parents and siblings think I'm crazy (I'm 22 years old, by the way), but I'm pretty sure that many of you on this forum would do the same as me. :D I'm really looking forward...

    Portable DVD player recommendations (mainly the Panasonic DVD-LA95)

    I'm looking to buy a portable DVD player under $800 US, and I came across this baby. I have a few questions, and I was wondering how it compared to other players. I've read some reviews that state that the battery duration is only 2 hours, so is there another optional battery pack available...

    Good Criterion news for Canadians!

    After browsing around on some sites, it seems that we may finally be getting decent prices for Criterion DVDs. In the past, I can remember seeing them selling for $65 or $80, but I believe that the upcoming "Traffic" DVD will be priced at around $30-40 (Future Shop will have it for $32.99). I...

    Amélie (Canadian SE) delayed?

    The last I heard was that it was coming out on April 30 in Quebec, and on May 7 in the rest of Canada. (This information was supposedly from a reliable source at TVA.) However, I haven't found a single store in Montreal that has the SE version. Has anyone had any luck finding it?

    Alien films - An interesting observation...

    I was chatting with a friend of mine this evening, and we were discussing the "Alien" films. All four films were directed by completely different filmmakers, with entirely different styles. At the time, these directors were virtually unknown to the world, but it's interesting that the careers...

    Emmanuelle Chriqui in A.I.?

    I've noticed on many websites that Emmanuelle Chriqui had a role in the movie "A.I. Artificial Intelligence", but I've seen the film several times, and have never noticed her. Furthermore, she isn't listed in the credits nor is her name mentioned on the IMDB. So, was her scene cut? Or did...

    The Ten Commandments & Gladiator

    Call me crazy, but after watching "The Ten Commandments" again, I couldn't help but notice how similar its story is to that of "Gladiator". "The prince who became a slave... The slave who became a shepherd... The shepherd who defied a dynasty." :D Just look at the main characters: The Ten...
