10/29 Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (Zacharias Kunuk, Canada) Aliance Atlantis (R1 - Canada) [16:9] 2-disc set which should include the following: Inuit DD 5.1 with English and French subtitles; "Canz" documentary; "Fact Track" (text-based commentary track); photo gallery; liner notes, and a map...

I believe that Merchant/Ivory had something to do with the relatively recent restorations of a few Satyajit Ray films. I don't know if they hold the rights free and clear, if Columbia does, or somewhere in between. If the films were solely acquired by Merchant/Ivory and they used Columbia as a...

New Yorker is supposedly releasing rated and unrated versions of L.I.E. on June 4th. It was originally announced that they were going that route with The War Zone, but they ended up only releasing the unrated version, so we'll see...

Is Liv Ullmann's Trolösa (aka Faithless) available anywhere? It opened in limited release in the U.S. over a year ago, and I can't seem to determine who would have the rights in R1. IDP appears to have distributed it theatrically, along with Innocence, which should also be due for release on DVD...

Mark, How does the Canadian version of Lost and Delirious stack up against the U.S. disc? I can't find any specs on the Canadian edition, for some reason.

Well, I was asking enough questions in Grant's thread that I thought it wise to effectively start my own thread, and build on my own requirements. :) Suppose I wanted to use a PC as a PVR and also edit and archive programs to VCD and/or DVD (for personal use, of course)? Any recommendations...

It would appear that Compro simply offers a little more variety in the Geforce2 cards married to Nvidea's Personal Cinema, whereas Visiontek only offers the Xtasy Everything. From the little I've gleaned from here and elsewhere, it looks like it's better not to go for an "all in one box"...

Jeff, so, how would you quantify the difference in performance between the Hollywood DV Bridge and the Pinnacle DV500 Plus? Are there any specific kinds of video and sound cards recommended for video editing? Also, if one were to go with a solution such as the Hollywood DV Bridge or Pinnacle...

Thanks for the link, the boards there seem to be good resource, after a quick glance. As a complete newbie, I'm seeing a lot of options, some for a great deal of money; I guess I'm still wondering if there's a point where price doesn't yield much more performance than the next option down? Looks...

Jeff, I looked at the specs on that Hollywood DV Bridge; I see options less expensive and more expensive, and I'm wondering... is this the optimal point in price vs. performance? I'm seriously considering building my next PC around video-editing and archiving, and while I wouldn't want to spend...

Thanks for the info, Mark. I'd read that the D-link 713p and the SMC 7004AWBR, which appear to offer similar features as the Speedstream, could send print jobs to the server but had trouble reporting on the printer's status (such as whether it's out of paper, etc...). Also, I think there...

Mark, Is the print server in the Speedstream bi-directional? I ask, because I've read of problems in this area with similar models. Also, how exactly does this backup modem capability work? Is an external modem required? Thanks.

Actually, I do vaguely remember reading about a Merchant Ivory deal with Criterion on the now defunct DVD.com... The fact that I probably read it in an article (or perhaps an interview?) at DVD.com should probably be an indication of how long ago I read it, and why I didn't make the immediate...

I can't believe no one's mentioned/realized this yet, but if this information pans out, a Criterion release of Howards End is momentous for a reason as yet not stated... Unless this is a case of rights lapsing (which I don't think is likely), this would mark the first Criterion DVD license of a...

There are some excellent recommendations here... I'll throw out a vote for The Shooting, an existential excursion of a Western, from the early part of Jack Nicholson's career. Essentially, a young woman hires some gunmen to effect some kind of vague revenge; I'd advise strongly against looking...

Al, I'm curious... the Ruscico Andrei Rublev is censored, but you also believe that it belongs "in every self-respecting cinephile's collection"? Can you please expound on that? Thanks. :) [Edited last by Jacques on September 06, 2001 at 02:44 PM]

I posted this earlier in the Keaton thread, but curiously enough, I got no feedback; so I thought I'd try again, in this Chaplin dedicated discussion... A few months ago, I watched THE GOLD RUSH for the first time, which had Chaplin's voice-over. Great, great film, but having him narrate the...

A few months ago, I watched THE GOLD RUSH for the first time, with Chaplin's voice-over. Great, great film, but having him narrate the action onscreen felt quite weird. Now, I've just read about all of these other changes coming to some of his works, and I wonder if anyone can shed some light on...

Guys, I'll entertain (serious) cash offers, but I'm really looking for a sealed copy of The Killer Criterion. Thanks!

I have a sealed copy of Salo Criterion, and I'm looking for a sealed copy of The Killer Criterion. Thanks for reading! Edited: No longer accepting offers. Thanks!
