I just saw this in Future Shop, and it bears no resemblance to the U.S. version from Buena Vista/Miramax. The cover art is different and there is no mention whatsoever of it being a longer cut, or including more than one version. It just says 2h 04m on the back, and 1.66:1 aspect ratio with no...

Guest stars, weddings, characters battling life-threatening illnesses, babies, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. What you end up getting are overhyped crap-fests, shark-jumping episodes, if you'll allow me to used that weary phrase. :) What it feels like is the network wrestling control away from...

It's October again. Didn't we just do this? Those of you who remember, each of the last two years have seen me challenge willing HTF members to watch 13 scary movies in the month of October to celebrate Halloween. What's the point? There isn't one, other to enjoy yourself, burn through some...

...12 days and counting. Are there reviews out there I just haven't found yet? Who else has The Fever?

I actually have a definitive answer to this question. :) From Season 5: Bart's Inner Child [1F05] This episode is filled to the brim with phrases I use regularly: Geriatric Profanity DisorderShame spiral"I really don't feel like being blamed." (ahem, I use this one A LOT. :) ) Also...

For those who decided to pick it up: Me: The Mr. PINK cover. No particular reason, I guess I just thought that, as a character, he was the most professional. ;) Also, I'm not sure, but I think the Mr. White cover might not be available in Canada.

List 'em here: Here are mine: 1. Oklahoma! (20th Century Fox) - Lousy transfer. 2. The Sting (Universal) - full frame release, plus there are supplements that have been created for this film. 3. Goodfellas (Warner Bros.) - flipper, featureless, non-anamorphic. 4. The Gold Rush (1925 -...

Discovered this link at Rotten Tomatoes. From E! Online. (Warning: pop-ups) Evidently, in an effort to trim the broadcast down, they'll be attempting to limit the number of honorary Oscars awarded. To me, this is wrongheaded. To people who actually like movies, the honorary awards are some...

I'm not sure if this is part of the common human experience, but it is rare that I don't have some sort of song playing in my gulliver. Sometimes, as we all know, a song just gets stuck there, despite our efforts to dispel it, whether it be Beethoven's Ninth or the Oscar Mayer weiner song...

I have to ask. I understand why, for instance, the CEO of a publicly traded corporation or a politician has his or her salary as public knowledge, but why is it anyone's business what Nicholas Cage makes per movie? Or the exact details of A-Rod's deal? I know my own pay statements say quite...

Anyone else pick this up yet? I just finished watching it, along with a lot of the supplements (only listened to snippets of the commentary). The documentary itself is a little uneven, although maybe that's the point. I wouldn't say it "documents" the tour at all, although you do get a good...

Have any of our resident critics (Pfeiffer, Weinberg, etc.) had a chance to see this yet? The animation looks interesting, the characters look sorta "twitchy" in a funny way, but it's hard to gauge (I mean even more than usual :)). Side topic: Is anyone else getting the vibe that computer...

Just curious. That seems like a selling point. I know a couple of them have power on/off buttons but those may only be for other components. Thanks all.

I NEVER use it. I think the first time I acquired a CD player that had this feature, I tried it for the novelty. It drove me nuts. On a great album, it's unthinkable (imagine "Dark Side of the Moon" or "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on shuffle :eek: ), but even on a...

I was just watching Pop-Up Video. They were showing that awful Patrick Swayze video, you know, the one from Dirty Dancing. They made reference to his haircut, and referred to it as a shlong, also known as a mullet. :laugh: I nearly peed my pants when I read that. Is there no end to...

Yeah, I know, stupid question. Thanks. :)

You know what I'm talkin' about. You know that song which you have an almost physical reaction when you hear the first series of notes. A sound allergy if you will. If you don't change the station, or kill the volume, you may actually die! :) Naturally, there's a lot of dreck on the airwaves...

I have yet to purchase any superbit titles. I haven't been able to justify the repurchase. However, to my knowledge, this title is still only available as a flipper (I'm sure one of my fellow HTFers will correct me if I'm mistaken on that). However, this film would be a prime candidate for...

I have, for the first time, experienced DTS. I'm an admitted audio neophyte. A more accurate way to put it might be that when it comes to understanding the science of sound, I'm a moron. If Obi, or the elitist bastard himself, Mike Knapp, came to my humble "home theater" they would probably...

He's everywhere! Everywhere I look, I see his posts (even lurking on other forums I see him...he is omnipresent), often giving long expositions on current TV shows, movies, you-name-it. He draws, goes to comic shows, etc. If I'm not mistaken (I may be) I even read a post where he claimed to do...

I was just watching a sports channel here in Canada (the Score) and they mentioned briefly that MLB may be paying these two franchises an undisclosed amount of money to fold. A dispersement draft would follow. If it happens, it's to be announced in a couple of week, just after the World...

I just noticed that this upcoming week's release of On the Waterfront will have a commentary featuring Elia Kazan and critic Richard Schickel. I did a double take when I saw Kazan's name. I'm very interested in hearing this. This coupled with the recent patchwork commentary by Walt Disney on...

OK, so let's see here: - Barry Bonds breaks the single season HR record, finishing with 73 and the single season walk record, finishing with 177. - Cal Ripken & Tony Gwynn retire, likely ending an era of marquis players who play a whole career in one city (I can't think of another player who...

Some of you may remember that I ran a challenge last October for people to watch 13 horror movies in the last 13 days of October. Not many finished it since that's a lot of movies in a short time (I didn't think of it until halfway through the month). It worked out well for me. I burned...

(Sorry, couldn't resist. )

My 5000th post. Today, this forum served a purpose I never imagined it would have to. It was a news source to many, many people, stuck in offices, away from a television, and unable to access overburdened news sites. The After Hours Lounge (which seemingly had more posts today than all of the...

Hi kids, Rarely, I mean rarely post over here, but I need to borrow some of your collective expertise. Here's the scoop: Panny A-300 died after 4+ years of faithful, rigorous service and I need to replace it. I see a local retailer who has the Pioneer DV-C503 5 disc player on sale this week...

I don't know about pay TV channels in the U.S., but here in Canada (specifically, Western Canada), we have a series of movie channels which are sold as a package of 4-6 channels, divided up by genre and vintage. These are, I suppose, the Canadian equivalent of HBO, AMC, TMC, etc. Of course...
