I just got done watching this and came here to check out what Ron had to say... I was surprised that this one didn't get a "highly recommended." The whole thing was just brilliant from beginning to end. Love the cinematography and Williams performance. :D
If I were you, I'd buy my DVDs someplace that does exchanges without question. I usually don't get that worked up about a little pixilation unless I really love the movie and I hear that no one else is having the problem. Then I would return it. I stopped buying DVDs at my local Circuit City...
I, for one, am really feeling jerked around about this. I'm hoping that if the cover at DVDEmpire is real that maybe it's a printing mistake and that the disc inside will be OAR. I guess it could happen given that Disney was going to make it fullscreen and changed their mind late in the game...
Hidden in a back corner of my collection, where no one can find it easily, is a copy of Star 80. I just love the music and pacing of this one. I also like the acting jobs of both Eric Roberts and Mariel Hemingway. And I must really like this one alot in order to repeatedly view it as I have to...
The new release of Rough Magic is indeed fullframe according to the outside of the box. I didn't check this one out fully enough before ordering and now I'm stuck with this. Sigh...
Oh joy! Oh joy! I called Disney again and the woman (Debbie) told me that she has a Special Attention notice dated today that says that Indian Summer will be released in Widescreen 2.35. She said that she was reading it right off of the memo. I'm so happy! :) I'm off to add this to my September...
I've never been to the Image site before this... they have it as widescreen. I called 1-800-72-DISNEY to get the information that I got. The woman happily told me that it was going to be fullscreen and would fill up my entire tv. I pointed out that it wouldn't because I had a widescreen set and...
I'm so depressed.... I've been trying to get information on the Aspect Ratio for Indian Summer for weeks. I finally just called Disney and was told that this is going to be released in Pan & Scan only. Boo... hiss... They just are not listening to us on this OAR thing... sigh...
I had a step-father for awhile who was a little boy at Pearl Harbor on the day that it was attacked. When I asked him where he was during the attack he told me that he was on a baseball field playing ball. So I never questioned what was going on in the movie when the Japanese planes flew over. I...
I saw this last night and after reading all the bad reviews I was prepared to be disappointed. Wow! Just the opposite happened. I was pulled into this almost immediately and loved every minute of it. This touched a very deep chord for me and today I can't stop thinking about it. I wouldn't...
Heaven.... I'm in heaven...
Anyway, got the DVD set and watched the original version with the Tangerine Dream score. I'm going to watch the Director's cut next to see what it's like, but I'm just thrilled to have the version I remember seeing when it came out.
Also had time to watch the...
I just called Disney and asked them where in my area that I could find "Snow Dogs" in widescreen. They, of course, told me it was only in fullscreen. I had them file my complaint about it and then I sent them an e-mail. I think that we should contact them asking for the widescreen version of...

Each of these movies has a good transfer, interesting extras (that you can watch repeatedly) and they are the ones that I pull off the shelf most often to watch.
Using a Sony DVP-S360 I too noticed the lip-synch problem. It's most noticable during the first (Diamonds) number that Nicole does. At the very beginning there is a close-up of her and the DTS track is very clearly out of synch with her for the first sentence of the song. There were other...
Parker,
Thank-you for your reply. I'm not sure what you're referring to about the new messages not appearing unless you log off and back in. I'm talking about the color of the links when you've read the message topic. For example, if I haven't read the message topic titled:
"Read" links...
Used to be when I read a message that the link would turn a different color than the unread links. Now... they revert back to being the unread color by some mysterious criteria. It was easier to follow threads that interested me by quickly looking down the list at the different colors and...
I'm running Netscape 4.61 using Win98. Before this upgrade I would occasionally have to hit reload when trying to read messages and the page would properly reload. Now, no matter how many times I hit reload it still will not load the whole page. I have to go back and re-hit the message link...
Yes, and watched it Monday night. It's not going to be a reference disc, but the video for the most part is very nice. I had a little trouble understanding what was said a couple of times which isn't good given that I practically have the movie memorized. I'd give it a B to B- overall... (not...
Yes... because I really, really liked the movie and want to see any extras that they have. I've had it on pre-order for weeks so I must be their target audience...
