Hi all, In the last few weeks I've been cleaning out my DVDs and some LDs due to everything going digital (Netflix) and Blu-Ray dominating my home theater for the last several years. I don't use DVDs much anymore except for movies that haven't been released on Blu yet, and Netflix sometimes...

Hi all, Every few months I do a search for Jarre in 5.1 or 24/96 and found that qobuz.com released "Studio Masters" of Oxygene, Equinoxe, and Magnetic Fields in 24/96 FLAC a few months ago. They sound amazing, and I don't think it's because of their audio being "pumped up". I'm well aware of the...

So this Samsung BDP-1000 I foolishly bought for $1000 years ago is playing less and less movies now. The first one I had trouble with was Close Encounters last summer. Star Trek, Kick-Ass, Alien, and several other newer movies won't play. The player spins and eventually says it's unable to play...

Hi all, I bought Risky Business on Blu-Ray and popped in the digital copy DVD that came with it, only to be told that the offer expired. EXPIRED. Apparently, the offer expired on Sept. 16 but they still sell the discs, so if you have any digital copies lying around, it would be best to get...

Hi all, I did a search for a few comparisons on here between the Blu-Ray and SD extras of certain films and came up with either a limited amount of info, or nothing at all. Does anyone out there keep a list of the differences between the Blu-Ray releases and previous ones (DVD, LD)? I realize...

Hi all, There's this piece of music that used to be used in the OLD Lowes movie theaters around the early 90's and now it's used in this youtube video at 3:05. It's gotta be from a Sony film since Lowes used it at the time, but I have no idea where it's from and it's been bugging me for years...

Before I go nuts trying to find it on Google... It was an old sci-fi movie that used to run a lot in the 70's on Channel 11 here in NJ. Basically, scientists (I suppose) open a window to the future, madness ensues, I think someone comes back screwing up the future, and at the end of the film...

Hi all, With this technically being a thread about the film's presentation I decided to create this thread instead of it getting buried in one of the umpteen video threads. It works like this: Blade Runner is one of my favorite films, and Oct. 5 is my 40th birthday. I live in NJ. Needless to...

Ok.....trying to keep calm..... Indy 4? I can live with that. Die Hard 4? I can live with that. A remake of Escape From New York? I can live with that if done right. But FOOTLOOSE? Is Hollywood officially out of ideas? http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...goryid=13&cs=1

Hi all, I'm sitting down with my family to watch F4 and I get this error that the unit's parental level is lower than the disc, but in the setup it's OFF and the level is set to 8. Anyone else have this problem? I can't find anything on the net about it. Mike

Yesterday I was at my local BB to pick up the new releases for the week. Normally I'd have to hunt around 4 different areas where BR/HD titles would be scattered around the store in order to find anything. This time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they dedicated an ENTIRE ROW of an isle...

http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/13894 About Pioneer's BR drive line: "Further out, the BDR-103 will bring on board support for HD DVD, presumably recordable and rewriteable versions of the format as well as pre-recorded discs." Huh. I didn't expect this. Is this a reliable source?

I'm a bit apprehensive about picking this up today. Any reviews? I can't find any. Mike

Hi all, I'm in the process of doing a ubercleaning job on my house - getting rid of anything and everything that I haven't touched in years. Part of that included laserdiscs. The problem is that I have some I know I have to keep, and some that are questionable. Like....keep Star Trek: TMP and...

Hi all, Back when I was a kid, and VHS wasn't even in people's houses yet, my dad would bring home a 16mm projector and a few reels of cartoons (Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, other Castle Films shorts). One of them was "Jungle Jive". It's not significant cartoon by any means, but it's the one...

Anyone pick this up? I got it two days ago and I haven't had a lot of time with it, but it's a lot of fun. Much more open than the previous games. The music is catchy. My wife said that if you listen to the music on the first level for an hour it's OK, but a week and you're ready to kill...

I'm watching ABC Channel 7 in NYC via Comcast. It's not in HD. I pretty much expected it to be. I can't check over the air at the moment since everyone else is watching upstairs. Anyone getting this in HD? Thanks. Mike

Hi all, I have this dilemma where I want to convert 20 years of home movies and graphics tapes I did in college to DVD. The problem is that the S-Video deck I bought 12 years ago eats tapes. I could get it fixed, but I still have to get an analog->DV converter box. I saw the JVC has a Firewire...

Hi all, Ok, does this exist ANYWHERE? For years, whenever you talk to someone about SS, the numbers segement ALWAYS comes up. I haven't seen it in 30 years. Can you buy it? Is there a SS archive on the web or something? Mike

Hi all, My friend wants to get SatC S1 but it's NOWHERE to be found, either here in NJ or online. Everywhere's sold out. Any idea where I can point her to? Thanks. Mike

This has been out in the US since the summer and there's a US re-release tomorrow? Is it different? Anyone know? Mike

Hi all, I gotta ask something - when did component input not necessarily mean progressive scan support? I bought a 20" TV for my kids' GameCube and got a component cable for it like I have on the HDTV Toshiba. The problem is that not only does it not support progressive scan, but the manual...

Hi all, I did a search on this which came up empty. Every NYC local station is now transmitting in HDTV. I'm very surprised to not see this mentioned anywhere on this board. I'm in Union County and the only station I'm having a bit of trouble with is WABCTV-HD due to my antenna's location...

WHERE did that tall alien go? I searched on the net, on deja, and everywhere else I could think of and found nothing. So this thing comes out of the spaceship, obviously very tall. So what happens? Someone in the editing room inserts a shot of that guy with the white hair looking DOWN at...

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Movi...eut/index.html Didn't they learn from Grease 2? Mike

Hi all, I have this Zenith front projector. I bought it from a friend a few months ago and recently replaced it with a Yamaha LX-500. I want to sell the Zenith, but the thing weighs at least 60lbs, and it's just monsterous. Has anyone had any experience in shipping these sorts of things? Do...

Hi all, Reading the Tomita thread reminded me that I wanted to ask this question a few weeks back. I've been listening to a lot of electronic music for many years. In fact, I have a Live365.com radio station for it. I keep listening to Jarre and Vangelis and Synergy and Roach and Ciani and...

Hi all, With the format being new, I wanted to know if there are any outstanding classical SACD/DVD-Audio discs. Format's irrelevant since I have both players. No preference on composer/conductor/orchestra either. Just post your favorites and why. Thanks. Mike

Hi all, I'm sorry, but I searched for the last 10 minutes on this and I get get a definitive answer. I'm cleaning house, and going through my LDs to put up on eBay. I'd like to know if the documentary on the Collector's Edition LD is the same as the DVD. I know there are other differences, but...

Hi all, I just picked this up today. It's a LOT of fun. Every Activision title is on here, and what makes this version better is that you can FINALLY use the analog stick! What's even better is that you can unlock certain game modes and other goodies. I unlocked the River Raid commercial :)...
