    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Abominable

    I was about to take a screenshot with my computer to show how bad it looks, but for some reason, none of the above problems were visible. I also took a look what the quality is via a normal tv and it looks ok. Not the best looking dvd, but again, I didn't notice the above problems. But...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Running Scared (Recommended)

    Awesome film! Probably a nightmare for the marketing people. Some reviewers have taken the film far too seriously. The film is a fairy tale. In the closing credits it states that the film is dedicated to Sam Peckinpah, Walter Hill and Brian De Palma. I'm wondering, should it have been in...

    Wasn't there supposed to be a DC of man on fire?

    I think there was a confusion as to what 2 disc special edition that was released would contain... Some websites incorrectly stated that it would contain 20 minutes of additional footage added to the movie. However, they never said the 2 disc set would be a director's cut. Haven't read anything...

    How do you sort your collection?

    I used to sort my dvds based on studio and case type and sometimes the color of the spines. The result is much more pleasing to the eye. I tried alphabetical order, but the spines were such a mishmash of colors that I had to change back to studio/case/spine color sorting. But the studio...

    Finally: The Fly (1986) and The Fly II (1989) Special Editions are coming in Fall of 2005!

    With the exception of the spine, the covers are fine... I just can't stand those numbers that Fox has on their special editions.

    Zatoichi question

    Question. I've recently purchased all of Animeigo's Zatoichi dvd's since they were on sale at DvdSoon. So far I've seen only Kitano's Zatoichi, but none of the others. Will I be missing much if I start with the Animeigo releases without seeing any of the earlier films? Are the movies...

    Any Chance of a Ronin: SE???

    Ronin 2 disc SE with DTS is being released in Europe in October... I think this has a lot more features than the Japanese UE. I assume a R1 release will happen eventually. These are the special features of the new dvd: - Frankenheimer Commentary - Featurette ”In The Cutting Room With Tony...

    "Alien vs Predator" to get R rated director's cut DVD?

    BBFC lists the runtime as 100m 39s and they are accurate when it comes to this stuff.

    Demolition Man

    Not a typo, but a reference to dialogue in the movie.

    Demolition Man

    Have to recheck my copy, but I'm pretty sure it had "Pizza Hut" instead of "Taco Bell" in dialogue and logos. My dvd is the Finnish R2.

    Demolition Man

    Don't know about the Joel Silver stuff, but the "Taco Bell" has been replaced with "Pizza Hut" at least in the european version. The reason being europeans not knowing what Taco Bell is.

    Deciding what to watch

    I used to have a randomize button on my movie database software and it picked a movie for me, but it always selected something that wasn't interesting at the time. Now I'm back to manual selection which takes 1 to 30 minutes, but sometimes the selection takes too long and I start browsing the...

    Garden State DVD

    :thumbsdown: Don't like this kind of strategy, if it is based solely on how the first release does business. Hopefully the studios don't pick up on this practice. Granted, it's a small movie, but still... I'll probably wait a while before buying this since there is a small chance that there...

    Has MGM turned bilingual?

    And just to enlighten those who don't know what kind of bilingual packaging we are talking about: The bilingual packaging of Alliance is utterly stupid. Revesible, but english and french on both sides. If they can afford to make reversible covers, why on earth are both sides bilingual? My...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Showgirls - V.I.P. Edition

    I bought mine from DvdSoon (Canada) and it has a slipcover that has the package content listed in english and french. English/French is only on the back of the slipcover. The sides and front are english only. And the hard cardboard box inside, is english only. Edit: And just notice that you...

    Has MGM turned bilingual?

    Damn, I've been buying MGM dvd's pretty much exclusively from DvdSoon since they are always the cheapest. Not anymore. I guess it R1-US or R2 for me from now on...

    Complete List of DVD-Rot Known Titles?

    Not necessarily a case of "dvd rot", but my "Galaxy Quest" dvd doesn't work properly anymore: pixellating and stopping. It worked when I bought it. No scratches or visible deterioration on the disc.

    Robert Harris on The Bits - 6/28/04 column - OFFICIAL THREAD

    After reading Mr. Harris' column, I went through my Buena Vista R1 dvds and none of them mention the year that the film was produced... It has always bugged me when I'm entering the movie information into my dvd database. On the other hand, on my R2 Buena Vista discs, all the the technical...

    crimson tide and Enemy of the state Sp ed R3

    The Korean discs seem to be the same as the "special editions" that have been available in R2 for some time now, with the exception of the DTS on Crimson Tide... From what I've read, the special features are a joke: EPK stuff and a few deleted scenes. I'll wait for R1 versions (although...
