    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    ‘What’s the matter, Jim? Don’t you trust yourself?” That was the line in The Corbomite Maneuver referring to be given a female yeoman. :) That’s a good point Sean, a yeoman could normally be male.

    I carried on with more favorite or special and iconic episodes. I decided to go back and watch Where No Man Has Gone Before and The Corbomite Maneuver back to back. I wanted to go back to a time when Star Trek was fresh and some traces of The Cage lingered. These two episodes as we know are the...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    I took a few week break from viewing the Strange New Worlds season 2 4K blu ray. I resumed with Among The Lotus Eaters, not an episode I was crazy about. I liked it more on this viewing. It was my third time as I recall seeing it twice during the initial streaming. What I found interesting is...

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Abyss, True Lies, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of the Water (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    As I posted a few days ago, I did not pre-order and ordered all three the morning of release day from Amazon. I was a little surprised that I was notified they were out of stock and Amazon would update me when they have stock and when it would ship. I figured this would be a higher than normal...

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (S1), Moon Kinigh (S1), Andor (S1) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (4k UHD)

    This is pleasant news. As I don’t subscribe to Disney, I’ve been wanting to see Obi Wan Kenobi and a friend highly recommended Andor. And I’ve been enjoying The Mandalorian on Blu Ray.

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Abyss, True Lies, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of the Water (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Thanks Josh for that post and relating another model for a niche market. I’d be happy if physical media stays around as a niche. I remember Criterion announced Robocop on laserdisc. It was about a year or so past the announced street date when it finally was released. I would guess that was due...

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    Are you asking about the Star Trek The Motion Picture Directors Edition 4K release, or the recent Star Trek 3 4K Steelbook?

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Abyss, True Lies, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of the Water (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Now that I think about, I forgot that I did buy The Mandalorian blu rays from Amazon. So they must have worked out whatever the issue was.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    That's nice compensation! It might be interesting if he does do The Prisoner.

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Abyss, True Lies, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of the Water (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Just a quick related question, has Amazon and Disney made peace with each other? I was surprised these titles are being offered at Amazon if Disney is distributing them. I thought their feud might have to do with it being out of stock? Usually for titles like these, I’d have gone to Best Buy to...

    The Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary. Might we finally see a Brady Blu-ray

    Thanks Ron. I agree with Stephen, hard to believe better care wasn’t taken to organize the 35mm elements. Other shows don’t seem to have had this problem that were heavily syndicated. I would think in the 1970’s, a series like The Brady Bunch, The Odd Couple, Gomer Pyle, Hogans Heroes and Star...

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Abyss, True Lies, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of the Water (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I ordered all three titles this morning as I usually don’t pre-order. Wow, I see these are out of stock at Amazon and I have no delivery date yet. As others have said, we’ve waited this long, I can wait a few more weeks. But would not mind if they arrive soon. Did Disney not expect the demand...

    Thanks. Sounds like if it’s not too soft, some fans may not notice, or bother them.

    The Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary. Might we finally see a Brady Blu-ray

    Ok, thanks. I had no idea they’d film some segments in 16mm, or why. Over the weekend during the Catchy Comedy binge, I sampled several episodes, not watching that closely as I was doing other things, I did not notice anything untoward. There are some process shots in the episode that involved...

    Official 2024 Oscar Nominations And Discussion Thread

    I missed nearly the entire awards, I totally forgot it was on, even though I had the pre-game Oscar show on earlier in the day. :). Maybe because it started earlier too. So I only caught the last 4 awards, actor, actress, director and film. Anyway, I’m kind of over the awards shows. When I saw...

    Are the 16mm segments on the Brady Bunch visually obvious on the DVD’s?

    The Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary. Might we finally see a Brady Blu-ray

    I had wondered if The Odd Couple blu rays were made from the same masters used on the DVDs as they look very much the same, color wise, except the blu rays are higher resolution. So I wondered if the same could be done for The Brady Bunch. My thinking was they didn’t spend any extra effort for...

    Blu-ray Review To Catch a Thief Blu-ray Review (2020)

    Last weekend I was in one of those obsessed modes for Vertigo and watched it from the 4K disc. Then last night, I wanted to stay in the Hitchcockian mode and watched the 2012 blu ray of To Catch a Thief. I chose it over the 2020 disc. I don’t know if Hitchcock has a reason for using green. I...

    Not to pile on more, I had to dig out my VHS copy of City on the Edge of Forever. Fun to look back on that as the medium we had to view Star Trek at home.

    Scott- Interesting to read your perception of The City on the Edge of Forever. And Space Seed. Maybe I’m the type of person where the love story in City works. From the first moment, I always felt Kirk was immediately smitten by her when she says; ”A lie is a poor way to say hello. It’s not...

    The Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary. Might we finally see a Brady Blu-ray

    The former DecadesTV now Catchy Comedy is doing a binge of The Brady Bunch this weekend. Once again I consider buying the complete series set and the 50th Anniversary set looks very nice as it includes the sequel films and spin-off series. But I’d be more inclined if a blu ray release is...

    Scott, I hate to reveal my age, but I think we’ve been Star Trek fans nearly as long; I’m not sure when I consciously became a fan but it could one or three years after you. Though I was certainly aware of Star Trek even as a little kid. i tended to focus on specific areas. I loved the stories...

    I just watched A Piece of the Action earlier this week. I never made that connection that Doohan did the voice. But makes perfect sense as he did so much radio in Canada. The voice was so different. And I noticed that John Harmon was the Small Fry and the Rodent on City on the Edge of Forever!

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    After all this discussion of City on the Edge of Forever, I did a special viewing of it tonight. I save this episode from too many viewings, I know it by heart, but it’s always good to give it time between viewings. I might gleam a new aspect of the episode. And I did have a new perspective on...

    I still have the VHS tape of City on the Edge of Forever and the music was changed on that as well as my laserdisc copy. If I had a working VHs player, I might test that tape to confirm. But I’d rather not risk it. I never had any of the earlier Fotomat or other tape releases.
