    Heh. That actually sweetens the deal for me. I hated American Beauty.

    BD-P1000 won't play Live Free or Die Hard

    Interesting that you blame Samsung. I put this kind of stuff square on the shoulders of Fox and their stubborn copy protection schemes. I haven't had any issues with any other studio's discs on my BD-P1000.

    Should I be worried about HD-A1 freeze-ups?

    I've taken to blasting my discs with canned air to clear off any kind of dirt or debris before putting them in my player - even new discs. I've noticed that these kinds of stutters are related to particles of dirt than a flaw in the player (at least since the the firmware upgrade).

    Twin Peaks Season 2 slated for DVD this November...in Austrailia

    Would be cool to have it this year, but Lynch said it was on the back burner until he finished INLAND EMPIRE, which missed Cannes this year.

    Twin Peaks FWWM: DVD vs. Current Cable Edition

    dugpa.com reported that someone was working on a brand new documentary based on the making of Fire Walk with Me. I'm wondering if New Line is planning a new special edition release somewhere down the line. I really hope they fix the audio in the Canada scene.

    NIN: Downward Spiral 5.1 remix reviews

    I did. Thanks for the follow-up. I didn't have all of the analog outputs hooked up to my receiver. the surround sound I was hearing was because of the Prologic II. what a wonderful difference to have it connected properly. :b

    NIN: Downward Spiral 5.1 remix reviews

    Thanks, David. I'll check my set-up. I do get surround activity throughout the other tracks, though, so I'm wondering if I have something configured incorrectly.

    NIN: Downward Spiral 5.1 remix reviews

    So I picked up the SACD this weekend. Very impressed. However, I noticed a problem with the 5.1 mix on "March of the Pigs" - it appears that the quiet, piano part is missing when he sings "doesn't it make you feel better" at both the 1 minute mark and the end of the song. It's not missing on the...

    How is Eraserhead?

    It's a great movie. And it's hard to not appreciate the amount of work that Lynch put into restoring and packaging the flick (which is part of the steep price tag... not to mention doing all of the distribution himself).

    What's your most valued non-R1 disc, and why?

    Trouble Every Day R2 - France (clair denis film unreleased on DVD in R1) The 400 Blows R2 France (newest MK2 release) Wild at Heart (R2 UK) and Lost Highway (R4) (unreleased David Lynch films) Army of Darkness (R3) (clearly the best looking version of the film released on DVD yet)

    *** Official KILL BILL: VOLUME 2 Discussion Thread

    Why wasn't Sofie at the "Massacre at Two Pines" intro? She was present at the slaughter, but you only see the four assasins (Budd, Elle, Vernita, and O-Ren) walking into the chapel as the camera pulls back, but no Sofie.

    Sorry if this is inappropriate talk around here (and feel free to close if it crosses the line), but: I just purchased a used copy of the Twin Snakes Gamecube game from Gamestop and the nitwit working the counter told me they didn't have a case/cover/instructions for it after he finished...

    Which First? Twin Peaks or Fire Walk with Me

    Aside from revealing Laura Palmer's killer, the prequel makes several references to the series that you would be completely oblivous to without having watched. I showed the prequel to my wife, who had never watched the show, and she was completely lost.

    Freaks (1932) DVD?

    Very excited for this. I hope they clean up the audio (or add optional subtitles); the last time I saw this on Turner Classics, it was barely audible.
