    It is on the Internet, so it must be true... Bonjour. ;)

    3D DR. NO (1962) 3-D conversion tested in Taiwan

    I know somebody at MGM and they said this was utter bunk (Bunk, James Bunk). Made in Taiwan?? Seems fishy to me.

    "Laura" Blu-ray Release on February 5th!

    Mine didn't have it :( I'll have to keep checking. They've also switched to putting out those lame plastic holders that have a picture of Blu-ray covers that you have to take to checkout and wait for actual product :rolleyes:

    My account has a tracking number, although I got no email saying it shipped. Just happy its on the way. Edit: got shipping email later the afternoon I posted this.

    THE KEEP (1983), Where The Hell Is The DVD?! (Lend Your Support)

    The theatrical version was on Netflix FYI (haven't checked recently but I watched it there months ago). I might add a third selection to your poll because I'd vote "both." Does the extended cut even exist?

    Who is your all-time favorite movie villain?

    In the same vein, I'd suggest Will Geer in John Frankenheimer's Seconds.

    Ideas for extras, Lawrence of Arabia on Blu

    O'Toole and Sharif commentary! or new interviews at least. Get them before they're gone.

    Found Victory at Sea dvd set at walmart for $5.00

    I picked up the newish 2 disc Twelve O'Clock High in one of those for $5. Didn't have slipcover but for $5 I'm not arguing.

    WHV Announcement: WHV inks agreement to acquire projects from the estate of Charlton Heston with deb

    For those of you interesting in seeing them, Mountain Men, Secret of the Incas, and Pony Express are available streaming from Netflix. They're in my queue but I've not watched them yet so can't comment on quality. I love me some Chuck and look forward to the releases announced in this...

    Sony Archive MOD

    I got Study in Terror and it looked fantastic. No menu though, it just starts playing and stops when the movie is over. Great little Sherlock Holmes flick.

    A WWII soldier, in a foxhole, falls on a grenade...

    I'm not familiar with any particular episode, but it struck me that it might be the religious themed Crossroads. It's just a guess, but you might be able to find episode descriptions online somewhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_(1955_TV_series)

    Ellery Queen (Hutton) now on DVD

    I had no problems, but used the "play all" selection. Don't know if that makes a difference, Amazon reviewers can be somewhat unreliable (did they try multiple players or is it their player??) and apt to complain about lots.

    1960 World Series Game 7 - Bing Crosby's complete recording found, coming to DVD

    Hmmm, wonder if they found any other goodies in Der Bingle's cellar? Maybe London after Midnight....

    Ellery Queen (Hutton) now on DVD

    On disc episode runtimes are 49m 30ish seconds. Veddy nice set. Much enjoyed Hutton and Wayne as well as the 18 minute interview with Link. Highly recommended.   Cheers.

    Will Streaming end our DVD Collecting?

    It's sort of a double-edged sword. Some titles I really just want to see, such as Vampire Circus, Crimson Cult, Salt & Pepper, or Hands of the Ripper. Netflix offers me that option, but it doesn't say how long it will be available. Looking through my "instant view" queue I noted several...

    Ok, thought I was okay since I didn't say what wasn't shown. Mea culpa.

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: THE GHOST WRITER

    I rented the Blu through Netflix and it wasn't a flipper. Liked the movie very much. Even liked the last scene,   somewhat arty showing windblown papers instead of showing that. I did figure out the secret well before that though. Still enjoyed it.

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (The Announcements/The Films)

    108 minutes or so the site says. Don' t know running time of each cut. Also is it letterboxed, it's listed as 16x9 Full Frame which I think could translate into 1.85:1 or that's my interpretation of it. Hate to spend $19.95 to find out.......

    Favorite Paramount Film Character Thread

    John Bernard "J.B." Books (John Wayne) from the Shootist (1976). The Duke may have won his Oscar for True Grit but this was the film that he deserved another one for. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/products/the-shootist

    Magnificent Ambersons

    It wasn't that same guy who said he found London after Midnight was it.....[/url] I have recently read an excellent article on AMBERSONS from an old Vanity Fair magazine(January 2002). It mentions an American working in the film industry in Brazil in the '50's or '60's who claims he saw the...

    House on Haunted Hill (1958) OAR

    I have several version of HoHH and the most interesting one is the Roan release that is letterboxed but you can barely see through the black bars. So Vinnie Price walks by and you can see his feet under the letterbox bar ;). I also saw that HoHH double feature at Big Lots as well as the...

    Universal and TCM's Partnership For Made-To-Order DVD

    That's the thinking of all those public domain "pressing" companies that hope you don't know the difference between the terms. [/url] I meant to point this out earlier. I'm certainly not a technical expert and maybe I'm misunderstanding the terminology, but isn't everything that appears on...

    The Prisoner ... on Blu-ray

    Agreed, it's a beautiful set. The only minor thing was that all the cool docs were on a DVD. I would've liked them in high def on a Blu-ray but I wonder if the DVD-ROM aspect made them use a DVD. McGoohan's comment was no comment according to the title card before the 94 minute documentary...

    Erm, I much rather like the "anniversary" mentality than the "let's wait till we remake it" mentality ;) LOL
