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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
: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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
