    The Dark Knight -- pink boxes?

    So, I'm not sure if this is part of the transfer or some weird artifact of the software I'm using to play back the disc (PowerDVD), buuuut... During the scene where Christian Bale's voiceover says "people deserve to have their faith rewarded" and Morgan Freeman's character is walking away...

    It is much more "satisfying" purchasing movies in high-def.

    I've noticed that it "feels" a lot better purchasing a movie in high-definition. It feels like I'm really, for the first time, owning an accurate presentation of the film. Lossless soundtracks, 1080p video which (in doing a comparison-from-memory of theatrical presentations) often times simply...

    Is there such a thing as anamorphic HD video?

    The title pretty much says it all. The point I guess would be to make 2.35:1 AR movies have higher resolution. It would take full advantage of the HD standard resolution and vertically compress it. If there isn't anything like this -- why not?

    I need help finding the title of a movie.

    OK, I don't have much information about it. It's an independent film. It wholly or at least mostly takes place in the desert. I think Las Vegas may be involved. The plot centers around a man on a quest to bury his dead kitten. That's all the info I have. I saw a trailer for it when I...

    Looking to upgrade my JVC progressive scan...

    As the title says, I'm looking to update my JVC XV723GD player. My options are the Toshiba 4800 or the Panasonic RP62. Are either of these players better than what I already have? My JVC has been very good to me...it's a little disappointing on video-based material, but that's about it. Good...

    The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

    I heard about two years ago that this disc was in the works for a re-release as a special ed. complete with the delightful Gilliam commentary and some deleted material as well as some promotional material...any news on this? What studio currently owns the rights to its video release? Is it still...

    Eraserhead DVD news

    To those interested... Apparently Eraserhead is in production now. Mr. Lynch has approved the digital transfer and the wait for this ethereal film will soon be over. I do pray the wait was worth it. Regardless of the 54.something dollars it takes to ship and buy this wonderful piece of...

    David Lynch's Webstore

    Does anyone have any idea as to when the webstore is going to open? I need a few shiny metal discs to successfully maintain my tenuous grip on my psychosis.

    Braveheart deleted scene?

    A couple of weeks ago, USA (I think) ran Braveheart. I had it on in the background and I was casually watching it, and I noticed something rather peculiar. During the moments before that lord person slits Murron's throat, he has a little talk with her. He says something to the effect of "I...

    Begotten on DVD?

    Well, you see, I saw this movie once on a VHS tape...granted, the quality of the film really wasn't affected by the fact that it was on VHS, I'd still like to have it on an archival format like DVD. Where can I get it? Amazon has it listed, but I have no credit card...and alas, I cannot order...
