I have seen it and I'll say that this disc is superior to the older Fox-Lorber release, however, it seems to me that the telecine operator simply "locked-in" settings across the board for the entire film rather than do scene-by-scene color-correction. It's most obvious during dark scenes where...

I agree with Jason regarding this episode. It struck me as more of a true "season finale" with the character expositions of Connor at the church and Angel confronting Jasmine regarding motivation and choice. The photography and editing were excellent as well....from the church where Cordelia was...

I have seen the LD of Trees Lounge with commentary. It is entertaining and enlightening in many scenes. There was a shot of him just driving around ...and in the commentary track he mentions how some people thought this was a "reference to reservervoir dogs." I had no idea what he was talking...

This is unfortunate news. :frowning: Mark, how does the transfer compare to the original F-L release? It sounds like a very negative initial impression...but I'm sure there are some people who'd be happy with a better version than the old FL disc(not saying much). BTW, is "shimmering" a...

any reviews yet?! I'm suppressing the urge to buy this until I hear the transfer is acceptable. *BUMP*

I'm also interested on any info regarding Paris Texas R1 or R2. My laserdisc of it is still holding up (barely) but I'd love to see a new transfer of this with extras. If it's R2, I'll probably finally purchase a multi-region player. I think 10+ non-R1 dvd's warrants it.

I have to completely agree with Mike regarding the Amadeus LD Box set. It's designed like a leather-bound book-shaped case..and with all the supplements it's the "jewel in the crown" of laserdisc special editions. Some DVD case designs are cool (Fight Club being the one of choice) but it...

I unlocked Ein using the high scores method in DOA3 ... so I'm guessing my xbox is Ein......like a certain pembroke welsh corgi. :) How can you verify the name using DOA3?

I also have the CLV, Gatefold, "half-face" versions of Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back and the only problems I've noticed are the occasional video drop-outs...but it's not severe interference like tracking lines. If you see short,thin, white horiz. lines that flash for a couple of...

wow. I hope your client's dealer isn't any of the places I go to. On a calibration-related question.....I noticed my sister's Panasonic flat black 27" isn't aligned perfectly horizontal. The letterbox frame line is on a slight downward slant (maybe off 3-5 frame lines). It's not a nuisance when...

Does this mean there will be a "deluxe box-set compilation" of Wes Anderson criterion's? Think of it : Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Tennabaum's in one tidy package!;)

Are there any LD players that can play back VCD's? I did a basic search here and found out that CDV and VCD are completely different...but I was wondering if there are any LD players with that feature. I own a Pioneer CLD-504 (since 7/95) and have had no major problems with it.....although...

Does anyone know the dates when these titles went out of print? Even the Criterion page doesn't list them. I'm only asking because I have the Hard Boiled and This is Spinal Tap Criterion DVD's...and have found the ebay prices for The Killer much higher than those two. My guess is 400 Blows and...

I agree regarding the quality of the transfer. The commentary on disc 2 recalls how the original prints were timed to give the overall "warm look" - they even used coral filters- which gave it a soft...over saturated look when broadcast. Seeing the clarity and resolution on these discs is...

I have both the limited tin SE and the regular version (not 2.0) haven't had problems with either (Panasonic player). If there was a manufacturing defect it must be evident only on Toshiba players as Jeff said. Also, there is NOT enough time since the original release date (9/25?) to do a...

Just thought I'd bump this one back up. I just recently purchased and tried some Sony 80-minute MDs. They are simply awesome. Not only are they quieter (much better for any bootleggers) than the 74s, they seem to hold up better to shakes and bumps. I never believe package advertising but this...

I have a MZR-30 and the only problems I encountered were with the Sony "reg. grade" 74min. minidiscs. They skipped or stopped abruptly after an hour of use (esp. after freq. edits). The TDK high grade (gold) 74s worked fine for me (even after several edits and re-uses). The new Maxell high...

27" is small? I'd be happy with one of those 19' industrial grade monitors they have at Post production houses. If anyone has found a good deal for a multi-region DVD player please post. I'm very interested at this point....and I'm not referring to those unreliable old Ampex DVD players they...
