After a 2 week hiatus to rebuild our contest engine (and the site!), digitallyOBSESSED is currently running 3 promotions:
Do well on our trivia quiz and 5 people will win four groovy 1960s spy spoofs from Fox : Our Man Flint , In Like Flint , Fathom and Modesty Blaise .
We're also giving away...
We are now giving away five (5) of the AFI's "most passionate" films... but don't ask which five... we don;t know! (They haven't even been announced!)
Also, we are giving away NBC's 2002 Winter Olympic Highlights with JustPushPlay.com.
As mentioned before, we are also giving away Interscope...
Here is the latest round-up: Docurama is helping us celebrate by allowing us to give away their ENTIRE collection of over 20 award-winning documentaries! Very cool.
We are also giving away 5 Universal's Robbie Williams: Live at the Albert, and one X-Files: Season 5 from Fox.
Tomorrow we will...
As promised, we are giving away 2 Friends Season One sets from Warner Bros., 10 Docurama's The Devil You Know: Todd MacFarlane, and have just added a giveaway of Universal's Legend:UE (5)! I failed to mention we are giving away McFarlane toys along with the discs!
Soon to come: Fox's X-Files...
We again find ourselves in great need of more people to review in the thorough dOc style in exchange for DVDs. We prefer people who have done some kind of reviewing or writing, and understand what it takes to turn around quality, insightful reviews on a timely basis. We'd love to add some women...
I have been lazy, I know.
We are now running a new contest for Fox's From Hell and Behind Enemy Lines.
Also MGM's The Last Waltz
Coming: Friends Season One sets from Warner Bros., Docurama's over-looked The Devil You Know Todd MacFarlane... and a bunch more.
Have fun. dare to be DIFFERNET...
I love a good doc (and a good dOc!...)
Ken Burns' Jazz (
Ken Burns' The Civil War (None better)
Ken Burns' Mark Twain (The extra interviews are even excellent)
Maysles Brothers' Gimme Shelter (You don't have to be a Stones' fan... my fiancee wasn't)
Maysles Brothers' Grey Gardens...
All I want to say is that the USA version is absolutely beautiful. I'll let Bjoern find everything that is wrong with it, but to me it may be one of the most beautiful discs I've ever seen. Mr. Coen might have something to do with that too, I s'pose.
Andrew, I share your disappointment... to a degree (although less and less the more I think about). I think it's funny that a man who came up 97 miles short was hailed as a hero... (a fact the movie ignores). I don't think that even sat well with Shackleton... which stirred him on the rest of...
The film in the 3-disc set is definitely in widescreen. As I thought, upon rewatching now the DD stereo track is very good, with clean, crisp dialogue anchored in the center channel, with the musical utilizing the front soundstage and rear channels well. Not as well as a discrete 5.1 mix would...
Yes, indeed, Enrique. There are closed captions. Good new indeed! I am now off to find that scene and what the heck the overly patient Mrs. Shackleton is saying... :)
I had this page open all this time and only now just saw your newest questions. There are 3 "docs" on disc 3. From what I...
Well, Enrique, I am still writing my review, but I think this is a winner. I think Branagh is at his best, and I am not a fan of Ken's non-Shakespearean roles--except for "Peter's Friends." What the filmmakers and cast went through to bring this amazing story to the screen is pretty amazing...
We have our own March Madness going on! First we have these contests:
Paramount's Spongebob Squarepants—Sponge Buddies/Nautical Nonsense and MGM's Original Sin: Unrated Version.
Then we will spread out 3 more contest beginning tomorrow for MGM's Bandits:SE, Usual Suspects:SE AND Bull Durham...

Go to Carmel. It's quaint and there are some very good restaurants... not to mention the beach and golf course.
Santa Cruz IS beautiful, as are Napa/Sonoma valleys. You can go to Copolla's winery (and Godfather museum), but their wine is generally horrible. Cosentino has good wine, Mondavi's...
On the radio today a lawyer spoke about pre-nupts, such as Jackie O's, which basically had different levels of compensations depending on how many years she and JFK were married, and speculated that Juanita had passed some threshhold that put her into a different bracket... possibly explaining...
It has been long known around here that Michael has been seeing some blonde chick (and seen not by me, but trusted members of the family)... and that Scottie Pippen is a terrible tipper!
And, I, sir, am one of those who never wanted him to comeback... especially as anything other than a Bull...
Paul,
Defrosting is like adding water or other ingredients when cooking... start off small, check and add. You can always add more time or ingredients, but you can't remove... without nasty results. A decent equation is 4 minutes per pound of frozen meat... but check and adjust to your...
As always, thanks to Ron and Parker for allowing us to glean from the best OBSESSEES on the web...
Do you have what it takes to be DIFFERENT? VERY DIFFERENT? The dOc is looking for some great writers of all genders, creeds, colors, races, and political affiliations, provided you are a prolific...
