    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Recommended)

    I have to say, I saw this with my wife and a few others from the forum on the last L.A. trip and we watched it in Grauman's Chinese Theater and we thought both the movie and the setting was amazing! I loved the scifi/noir feel of the film. I might have to buy this just to recall that...

    Hellboy Director's Cut....

    Well, I actually held off on buying this movie all together knowing about the 3 disc set. Maureen and I saw it in the theater and loved it (I'm a comic geek anyway) and hoped for a good dvd. Well, I think I'm off to buy the 3 disk now. Any reason at all to talk me out of it and into the 2...

    It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Restoration discussion thread

    Ron, I fear asking this, but how does the 2 tape VHS version fit in the scheme? Is that the 182 minute release as well or is that shorter still? That is the only version I have at home for two reasons 1)I don't have a laser disk player 2)I also refuse to buy the DVD in hopes that a definitive...

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    I just told them the truth. I picked up Full Screen by wrongly assuming that there was only Wide Screen available and that based on the display I wouldn't think otherwise. Frankly, the sales girl didn't care. She told me she never heard of the movie anyway and said it was no big deal. When I...

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    Well, to help put a cap to this whole discussion, I took it back and got an exchange for the one I wanted. I went back with my receipt and they actually had no issue with an exchange. In fact, my impression from the sales girl was that I wasn't the only one. I did have to go fishing for the...

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    Gee, I apologize. I didn't say I wasn't at fault, in fact if you read the thread I think I said that more than once. All I'm asking is why does the studio even bother to make these Special Edition DVDs yet offer it in Full Screen and why shouldn't stores have the widescreen and fullscreen...

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    Agreed. But isn't it their fault for not displaying it well?? I mean, I had to go fishing for widescreen. What if I went to the grocery store and all the cans of Coke looked the same except on the bottom of the cans they were marked diet or regular. All these cans were all mixed on the...

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    Just a quick update. Last night on my way home from work I stopped in the Best Buy where I bought the movie to see if they even carry widescreen. They do. However, there was 3 shelves, one on top of the other of Predator 2 disc Spec Ed all in a column. I.E: movie movie Predator movie...

    Thank you. Makes me feel like I'm not alone in this! LOL

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    But it does surprise me. Why? Because while I realize that places like WalMart feel the need to offer full screen because people don't like the "black bars" and think it is annoying. However, they aren't the consumers interested in director's cuts, studio commentary, revitalized picture quality...

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    Thank you Kevin, I don't feel as much of an idiot that I thought I was. I could have sworn that there was nothing on the front indicating FullScreen, my mistake was assuming! But now I'm curious about my local Best Buy if they even have the widescreen! I never bought the Back to the Future...

    I need to see if I kept the receipt. :angry: Will they take it back even if the DVD has been viewed?

    AARRGGHH! I'm so angry! Predator 2 disc SE FULLSCREEN!?!

    How did this happen!!! I'm so mad at myself, Best Buy and Fox! Ugh. I bought the new Predator 2 disc SE set along with Kill Bill 2 the day after they hit the shelves - about two weeks ago I guess. I brought it home, cracked it open and began watching the extras, which I thought was great...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Blazing Saddles - 30th Anniversary Special Edition (RECOMMENDED).

    I can't believe the Tues it came out my local Best Buy and a sales girl told me "Oh yea... a few other customers today had asked about that movie. Kinda weird that they all asked for it on the same day huh? I guess we sold out of it some time ago." I told her it was released that day...

    New Toshiba 36'" Flat screen - glossing help?!

    Jack, The other side of the wall is the outside of the house and it is an addition, so there isn't really anything running thru that wall. As far as other nearby items? In each corner of the room about 6 to 7 feet from the TV are the front speakers. Under the TV is the playstation and VCR...

    New Toshiba 36'" Flat screen - glossing help?!

    Yea, it is shielded and didn't make a difference. I don't really have a choice as to what wall the unit is on and it pretty much has o live there. I guess there is no point on moving it to see if it goes away, 'cause if it does I only have to put it back! Is there anything I can do with...

    New Toshiba 36'" Flat screen - glossing help?!

    Instead of moving the 200lb set, wouldn't it be just as good for me to move the speaker away and see if that changes things?

    New Toshiba 36'" Flat screen - glossing help?!

    My closest speaker to the set is my center channel which is on the "bridge" above the set in the entertainment unit. I never had a problem with my old set with the speakers (sony) and always assumed they were shielded. Maybe this is the problem? You can see in the picture here the...

    New Toshiba 36'" Flat screen - glossing help?!

    OK.. I bought 2 weeks ago a new 36" Flat Screen Toshiba (36af43) and I love it... love it .... love it!! Perfect for my needs! However, I have noticed a small area in the edge of the screen where the screen has a slight discoloration only noticable when that area is showing bright light...

    Where can I get BTTF in individual cases?

    I'd even settle right now on finding the set in widescreen. None of the stores local to me (Best Buy, Circut City etc) have had these in widescreen for some time now. I held off on buying the widescreen due to the whole glitch debacle and now I can't find any widescreens in B & M stores...

    Toshiba 36AF43 question - DVD "Squeeze Trick"?

    Well, I bought the TV yesterday and the answer is yes, it does. I spoke with probable 8 different stores in the area who sell TVs and guess what. I got about half no's and half yesses to my question on the phone. Glad I bought it even when I thought it didn't have that feature!!! Bill

    Toshiba 36AF43 question - DVD "Squeeze Trick"?

    I've done a search and see a number of people have had, do have or are familiar with this flat screen TV and I'm looking at buying one. Here's my question. Does this TV have the capability to do what some call the "squeeze trick" where when watching a DVD thru component input, and the movie...
